I have a little over 400 so far in my TM putback money and want to know exactly what I need to start looking for. Then I have the TM on my boat I can sell for a couple or 300 bucks. Just gets old have to constantly stay on the TM when the wind is blowing, then you catch a fish and you're off your spot by 20-30 feet due to the wind blowing you around
bout time! Don't be skimpy and get a whimpy 12v. A 24v minnimum, the 36v would be even better for your boat.

Feelay,
Sounds like double talk to me! LOL
You want at least the 80lb and maybe the 101. Ask Mike about his. The 80 is more than plenty for my boat.
I told you the other day what to do. You need $1100.
With the wind that follows you around and the high profile of your boat.....get the 101 and don't make me tell you twice ya arseclown.

What is the exact brand. It's Terrova but is that Minn Kota?
Yeh Morris, I got our boy gonna get me a deal
I've got the 24v powerdrive V2 70# on my boat and on high, I can go 4mph. I've got the co-pilot, but the i-pilot is on my wish list.
Yes the Terrova is MK.
and with the I-pilot, right?
Don't even consider getting it without the i-pilot.
DD I really like the 36V I have. Terrova 101/US2/i-Pilot. it is $1500 I would spend again. 36v really just gives you the ability to pull cranks all day or fish 2 full days without charging batteries. It is a 100.00 difference to go for the 80lb 24v. If you do not add the extra battery you have to buy.
Like Maj said.. don't even think about it. I-pilot is a must for how you fish. Spot Lock will fix that drifting away from your spot.
Only problem I have is I said I wasn't gonna buy one and when I bought new batteries, I got the 27 bank.I do have room for another one under the console though. Can you put a 29 bank in with 2, 27 banks?
Is there anything else I need to go with is. I need the TM with the I-pilot, anything else required?
Spare battery for the remote, get at Interstate on 51.
MK Terrova, 101lb 36v, i-pilot, may as well put it on a quick release bracket also, third battery, 4-bank onboard charger. Don't be mule headed and try to skimp out.
DD in all seriousness. I think the 80lb 24v would work but I have not used one but I would not mix batteries in the system not that it will hurt anything besides the life of the batteries and performance just a bit but if you have any issues at all that will be suspect every time..
Hey what kind of depth finder you gonna run up front?
Hey how you like that quick release bracket?
Exactly!!Quote:

Thanks Ray, got a Hbird 787 up front
This fishing thang is just gettin to complicated......should I get rid of my cane poles yet....
I got an 82# with a power prop which boosts it up around 93#
OK. Remember that the US2 will not DI or SI so if you want to do those things you need to mount the transducer on the trolling motor foot. If you are going to use US2 you need the humminbird adapter cable to connect.
I do both.. Not at the same time but if or when you break the transducer off the trolling motor having the cable will allow you to jump to US2 and not stop fishing. That make any sense?
Quick release on mine, only way I can close the garage door. Works real smooth.Quote:

No doubt the Humminbird transducer will perform best. But trust me being able to jump to the US2 in an emergency can save a day.
The 787 is not a DI or SI. I have my 997 on the back of the boat and need to get my interlink box hooked up. Just a straight FF on the TM right now
Ya'll can all stand down. The boy ain't got the cajones to do what we're telling him to do.
Terrova 101# 62" shaft, US2, I-Pilot
MK Quick release for same
3 new batteries, sized 31
New 4 bank 10 amp per bank charger
US2 adapter cable
Spare Ipilot batteries.
As the french would say "Ses noix sont assez petites"

"Ses noix sont assez petites"

Only $2589.00... Don't ask me how I know.

My 80 Terrova on my 1860 G3 will last 5 hours with calm wind and 4 hours on windy days with two interstate 27 batteries. I got the Ipilot and US2 and the adaptor cable works great and easy to use. Nice to have a depth finder in the front of the boat.
The 80 will get my boat up to about 3 mph maximum speed. So when I am running 2 mph I am usually around 5.5 or 6 speed (Terrova has speeds settings from 1-10) so I am pulling a little more than half the max draw at that speed.
I only wish I had some 31s (if they would fit) or some 29s to get longer battery life. With your boat being a bay boat and heavier than my aluminum... The 36 volt might be the ticket. If running two 27s on a heavier boat you might not get the 4-5 hours I am getting. Just a thought...

Boy I just can not let all this go by. DD, is a bigger gewber than I thought becauseQuote:

DD I have a 787 that uses my US2 on the Terrova with the adapter and it works great. Much cleaner install than a loose wire hanging down waiting to get snagged on something. Just keep saving and do what WB suggested.
and take a photo of your face right after you read what Yikess posted! ;)
I understood everthang the fella said CN so NEHHH Triton, where's that SPARE battery at? I had 2, one went bad and the other wasn't worth a crap so I turned gave it to them. Now where's yo too too LOL
