My new old boat, that I bought last year, has a 36 volt Motorguide TM. It is no problem in cam water, but works me to death during wind and wake. I am a single pole guy, and am intrigued by the spot lock/anchor feature. Also, I had a Co-Pilot on my last boat, and preferred the remote to the foot pedal. I run Lowrance electronics, but since I don’t troll, I’m not really concerned about linking the TM to the electronics.
Considering all of this, I talked with Brian @BBG yesterday, and have pretty much decided on a 36 volt Terrova. The convincing part that I need: Do I replace a TM that is in good working order with a new Terrova? Will the Spot Lock be worth $1900? Please share your opinions.
