Thread: Terrova

Yea just checked them out. Thanks. U get two bottom pieces and two top pieces or just one bottom peice and lay the one ur not using somewhere out of the way? They sure are proud of those things.

The 47 is both pieces - the 48 is the top piece.

I would get two 47's only if I was going to put the extra bottom piece on another boat.

The bracket is well worth the cost, and the Terrova has changed the way I fish for the better - but like you - I still prefer the Cable steer for jig fishing and a few other techniques.

I've been contemplating a Terrova for yrs.. Never pulled the trigger because of what you goin through... Love my pole fishing

I like the simplicity of a hand controlled motor for jig fishing. I have had a couple of trips ruined by broken cables and ended up steering with a vice grip tiller. However I consider my ipilot to be the best tool in my bag.

It's turns with the foot control just like it does with the copilot. SLOW but if you're standing up in the front of the boat with a jig pole in each hand, it's better than trying to put one rod up under your armpit as you turn with the copilot.

Good advise on the brackets Tommy. If you can afford both motors, you'll have the best of both worlds.

With my Terrova, I like the foot pedal when it's cold and raining. Hate freezing my hand off!!!!

just depends on wheather you want to just deal with it being slow or spend $250-$275, plus mounting costs to get the brackets and get them installed. I just deal with it

I have the Terrova 80 with iPilot Link, and have really just started using it this year. I find the motor turns a little faster with the foot control versus the Link. Having said that, the iTrack function is awesome. Yesterday I created a track about 10-15 feet away from the bank, went back to the start, and jig fished all the way down, never touched the controls, prop speed of 1. I have had both cable and electric steer, and once you are used to the electric steer, I don't see a lot of difference. On the foot control you have to get used to the placement of the switches where on the cable steer you just move your foot fore and aft, touching the motor on button. One advantage I have found with the iPilotlink handheld is quickly changing your motor speed when the need arises. I also like the target speed. Everybody has an opinion, just mine. I would never go back to a cable steer.
