New I-pilot 80lb terrova tm and transducer mounting

I have a 55 terrova trolling motor and am going to replace it with an 80 terrova. I am going to install the transducer for a HM 998c Si. I have a transducer saver it is 7 inches long. Does the new terrova have the skeg in the back. If it is in the front I will have to find a different way to mount the transducer. I went to Bass pro, Academy Sports and there was nothing to look at. I have sent a message to Minn Kota and haven't heard back. I'm feeling the need to fish. I have read the other threads and the way they have rigged their motors and will do the same. I will probably buy the terrova and then the i-pilot so I don't have the us2 sensor.

Thanks,
Don

Here is a picture of one. Cabela's: Minn Kota® Terrova™ 80 Bow-Mount Trolling Motors

I hope that is the same as the picture. I have looked at different web sites and they have shown different skeg placements. I appreciate the info I expect to order from them. Just really don't want to return a trolling motor.

Thanks,

mine is the 80lb thrust terrova with ipilot w/us2 and the skeg is near the propeller.

That is what I needed to know. The one I have now I got in 2005 and the skeg is in the front. I will order mine this evening.

Thank you,

Don

The one I have has a built in transducer, with temp sensor, the one you are buying may also have this, then all you need is the proper cable to hook it up.

Not if you are running SI. US2 is of no value to someone with a HB 998.

I did not realize that Corker, thanks for setting me straight.
