Terrova has ability to use Foot Pedal and remote at the same time. PD doesn't. Terrova has more power setting increments than the PD. Terrova is a larger foot and heavier duty motor that PD. Stowing mechanism and lock is better with Terrova and installation of transducer is cleaner if done properly with Terrova. Get the Terrova if you can swing it. That said...the PDV2 is a good unit.

If you're gonna install on the fly, you'll need drill, selection of bits and hand tools. And don't forget to bring an assortment of stainless washers, bolts and nylocks. Plus your holes aren't gonna line up so you'll need some good sealent to patch existing holes. I'd use 3M 5200. Wouldn't want to get over there and realize you need something and it's a 30 mile drive to get it.

One other thing...heading into a tournament, I'm not sure I'd want to swap out to something brand new. Prolly better to use what you're comfortable and used to until after game day. That said, it's a short learning curve with the Terrova or PD V2 / Ipilot.
