I don't have a terrova either, but use the big motor to pull cranks. Works better than using my foot control TM at the moment. I can idle along at 1.8 to 2mph. I may have to invest in a trolling plate before long if I see the need to decrease my speed. I like it cause it's a change from rigging or single pole fishing, and also gives me another tactic to use when those guys get out in deeper water. My favorite thing about it is the ability to cover a lot water quickly. I wouldn't let not having an I pilot TM stop me from using cranks
