    Default Terrova or PD?


    I am wanting to request an upgrade to a remote control tm, thinking the ipilot, but maybe the co-pilot -undecided. I don't know what the difference is between these two trolling motors. What do they do, which do you like, and why? I also want a quick detach mount for whatever I get. Is there such a thing for these trolling motors?

    You'll see the differences between the TM, the remotes and the quick detach mounts.

    The Terrova is the way to go. It has the 4" motor, a better deployment mount, you CAN use the foot pedal and the co-pilot/i-pilot at the same time and you can get a quick release for it. It's a strong motor and a nice package. If you need a transducer at the bottom of it then go ahead and spring for the US2. It's a much cleaner install than having a wire dangling around the outside of the shaft.

    I have the V2 with us2 and I pilot. You loose the foot pedal when Ipilot is installed. I built my own circuit to get around this no foot pedal problem. I like billbobs Terrova.

    I bought the 80# terrova last summer, I have copilot & autopilot on mine. I would have prefered the ipilot but I got this motor from a man who bought it and then
    decided to sell his boat before he ever installed it. So far I really like it.

    I have the I-pilot on the V2 and havent missed the foot petal at all. I spider rig and longline troll (love the cruise control). Also slow troll for stripers.
