Pulling cranks is where the 80lb Terrove/i-pilot really shines, especially if you want to pull over the same track more than once.

Yes , but I went from a PV2 to a Terrova 80# it calls for 60amp CB, and larger wire for it , we do it for code I think it draws 56amps or so under full power and the CB that came on my PV2 was 40amp, just trying to be safe,also check what size wire is from your TM batteries already install to see if it will handle the full load,of the TM you buy.be it 12v or 24vQuote:

Do I have buyer's remorse?.... Heck no. Do I wish I could go in there and adjust the gains?...Heck yeah.
Why dont you just use both BAtt together in parallel You will get double run time with no switchingQuote:

Were both bats the same Maybe one was going bad? The reason I ask is Ive only been running 1 But plan on 2 this year in parallel. Maybe this isnt a good idea.Quote:

When that junk 12v MG on my 08 Tracker PT-190 shot craps I went with a 24v 70# MinnKota Maxxum variable speed. I have no regrets.
