    Default Trolling Motor??


    What is the best trolling motor I can get for around $800 - $1000?? I want at least 70 #s thrust and a 24 volt system. I'm looking to upgrade and I appreciate all input.

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Default Terrova or Maxxum

    Having read the previous posts I still wonder why you should choose one or the other? I am also looking to upgrade an All Terrain that I have to either a Maxxum or a Terrova.

    Would certainly like some input from people who use them on why the Terrova is better than the Maxxum or vice versa.

    Thanks,
    Vance

    I got the minn-kota terrova 60 inch shaft,80# thrust,auto pilot, and co-pilot with a quick connect mount...About $1,700. The co-pilot makes it wireless! So far we have had it out 6 times and have not used the foot control yet. You can operate it from any place on the boat. I have it on a 21" aluminum boat and fish in a lg. river with a 6 mph current. I bought from a dealer that provides service on electric motors. Will have this along on next years trip to K.L. This is 24 volt and I have 2- 2 bank chargers on board with 10amp out put. This charges the batteries in about 6 hours. The 80# thrust is more than enough.........

    Depends on if you want cable drive, or power drive...Personal preference I think, but I like the cable steering...auto piolot and co piolot would be nice though.....Glad I don't have enough money to have to choose....:D:D
