Thread: welp, just ordered a terrova 55

well, got it installed on the boat yesterday, as expected, had to drill 4 new holes (), but 2 are covered up by the Terrova, I used one of the 2 old mounting holes as a lead in for the power wire to get it somewhat secured (?) and less chance of triping over it or ripping it loose since the MK sits so far forward and it's a totally different layout than the MG I am accustomed to. Will be a whole new experience on deploying/stowing it vs the MG. Now just waiting on the Ipilot to get here and the power connectors I ordered. Can't use it till the weekend anyways, both should be here in time for a test run next weekend.

Anybody got any pics of how you mounted a 'ducer on a Terrova, and dealt with the wire. The mount itself is ok, but trying to figure out how to keep the wire controlled going up the shaft, and with the sliding collar, its' a new one for me.

Look at the pinned threads on the front page.There was a step by step tutorial on how to stow the cable,in the track of the shaft.Good luck,you should enjoy your motor.
