IMHO the Minn Kota power drive is a POS. Hard to deploy, stow, and the loss of the foot control when Ipilot is added makes it non-usable when casting and reeling. The Terrova ain't perfect, it is easier to deploy, stow, and the addition of the foot pedal capability lets me fish with either the remote or foot pedal when "I" choose. You can also add a H-Bird transducer to it and run the cable up the slot in the carbon fiber stem with a little work. I do not like the "constant button" on the foot pedal, if you have that thing set on ten and are using the remote and step on the constant by accident you will prolly go out the boat!!!!
