Got a Maxxum and a V-2. Both are beat up as hell (well used). No problems with either except the V-2. Had to buy a new foot control. Membrane switch on left turn corroded and worked when it wanted to. Both are excellent motors.

I have the external td and it is no problem. Just have to watch the wire when launching, but I don't have mine installed the right way. Definately go with the Terrova. I did the same research you are doing 2 years ago and the Terrova was my choice. Never looked back at cable steer models. A lot of you guys talk about single polin being a problem for the Terrova, but I love it. Used my copilot and never touched the foot pedal. Now I think about it, I only use the speed adjuster on it while trollin. Haven't used the pedal for steering since copilot was installed. Just got my ipilot in last Friday, but haven't been able to get to the water to try it.

I just have not yet gotten use to the slow speed of the turn vs. a cable steer like the Maxxum. I river fish alot more than I lake fish and it is even more noticeable in a strong current. It just feels like it takes for ever to get turned and alot of times I have to oversteer to accomidate. Mabey I just have not yet got use to it but I am hunting me a Maxxum and another quick mount just in case. The other thing I can't get use to is that with a cable steer I know right which direction my motor is pointing by the angle of the pedal, I never have to look down. With my Terrova I always have to look at it when turning to monitor the direction it is heading.Originally Posted by Jeepster04

The slow turn thing has been the only gripe i have had, and i have learned to adjust.

In that case, sell me the terrova for $300, Slimey. If you talk sweet, I might even drive up and get it and let you take me fishing then buy dinner when we get done.

A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

Gotta know so I can let Is know when I'll get home.

I think I will pass for now. I really like my Terrova in open water and prefer it way over a cable control for trolling. I am gonna find me a Maxxum and another quick mount so I can use both.

OK, OK, I'll clean the fish. Man you drive a hard bargain. Saturday good for you? :p

Slimey, you do know Bigger's got a 70 42" brand new with quick detach for sale right? He's looking for $650, new in Sept. If that works out, you can just send the Terrova back with him for me.

I have a Powerdrive and love it, there is a little delay in the steering but I think the Terrova would have the same issue. I was looking at the Terrova myself but the Powerdrive has a new foot control that I actually like a lot, made the decision easy.
It's all over but the fryin'......
