minn kota terrova

Can you cut the shaft off a terrova?

[majflyboy]

Has to be done by "authorized" service center to keep warranty. When I got mine it came with a 54" shaft and I thought that I would want to have it cut down some but I'm glad I didn't.

Like Major said if I were you I would try the 54" before I cut anything. The Terrova comes with a locking collar that will allow you to set the depth where you want it (in the case of shallow running in the Spring). The extra length will also allow you to choke down on the shaft some giving you extra leverage when you decide to raise it to change locations. Great trollers!!!

OK...Yikess just answered some of the questions....I just wonderd why you huys were glad you did not shorten the shaft.

How high do you guys like the TM to stick up past the lock collar?

[majflyboy]

G, mine sticks up only a couple inches because I troll from the very back seat in the boat and that raises the bow up some and I don't want any cavitation.

Bought a 60 inch terrova with i pilot thinking that you could cut or shorten the shaft called a minn kota authorized service center and he said he would not atempt to cut the shaft on a terrova then i called minn kota and they said that you couldn't cut the shaft. Anyone know anything about it or had it done?
