With the terrova you can still use the foot petal. I think it also has a power light on the troller head, and probably a few other luxuries that someone else will chime on about.;)
in was in the same boat if you buy a power drive and add copilot you wont be able to use the foot control if you buy the terrova and add i pilot you can use booth
I have only owned the Power Drive V2, both 12V and 24V, and they are great motors. I have only fished out of boats with a Terrova a very few times and they are also great motors. The biggest difference, to me, is the way the Terrova deploys and stores. Maybe Rawhide will speak up because he has a Terrova. Check out Hodges Marine Electronics - Marine FishFinders, GPS, VHF, Radars, and more! for pricing. Their prices are hard to beat.Quote:

I found this site today The Shopping Cart : Minn Kota Trolling Motors, MinnKotaMonster and priced out a RipTide SP w/ipilot and bracket for a good price....may want to shop on this site some...so far they are the cheapest I have found.....by the way....has anyone used the riptide? I do fish salt water some and really would like to be able to leave the T/M on the boat for the tidal creeks but have been taking off my PD V2 since it is not recommended for salt water use.....
Thanks Shine, but for terrova with 80lbs 12/24 us2 with ipilot cabeles has the hole thing for 1,229.99 60 dollars cheaper and ebuyerworld.com you mite want to check there price. again thanks Crappie-little
If youre getting the terrova wait until 2/15 before you order or buy so you'll get that $100 rebate.;)
I ordered a i-pilot for my powerdrive v2 last night from MinnKotaMonster.com, found a place that had em $12 cheaper but was out of stock. With shipping the unit cost $361.74Quote:

Did you know you can have the shaft cut shorter if you do not need a 60 inch shaft?
How much trouble is it to cut the shaft and what does that do to the warranty? I am getting the Terrova I-Pilot Tuesday. Cant wait to get to Weiss and try it.Quote:

I bought mine from a service center and they charged me an extra $20 for cutting the shaft. I'd rather paid them since it wasnt that much instead of doing it myself.
Thanks, I see you are in Gerogia, just not sure where but where is this dealer at and his number, I am buying motor online and they dont do it there. Or if there is a list I am in Douglasville Ga, just west of Six Flags.Quote:

I'd call a couple service centers and ask what they'd charge to cut a shaft after you get the trolling motor. You could still buy from anywhwere, I'd just let them cut it if I were you (then you'd KNOW the warranty was still good)....AND KEEP ALL YOUR RECEIPTS.;)
