These figures are for a 55LB Terrova with i-Pilot. They were measured while on the water and are approximate.

Were these on calm waters? against the wind/current?
thanks for the numbers :)
No current to speak of however it was very windy. That's why I say they are approximate. I'll recheck them on a better day.Quote:

Question: With the 24 volt terrova, does the draw come equally from the 2 batteries, or from one until drained then the other??????????????
I have the 55LB riptide with i-Pilot and there is no way it draws the advertised amps or my battery would not last as long as it does. I think the #'s posted above are about right and may be a little high even.
All TMs draw equally from all batteries except for multi-voltage setups like 12/24 when they are on the lower voltage.Quote:

Assuming everything is at similar conditions.
Did you ever retest the numbers Barnacle Bill? Thanks for this post. I have also been wondering what kind of run time I would see out of the 55# iPilot.
I know it's hard to find answers in this subject. I appreciate the time you put in to come up with a rough estimate.
Depends on what you are using it for. Mine on 17.9 WarEagle just spider rigging for 8 hrs won't even touch the battery's. ( 2 group 27 hooked together ) when pulling cranks about 4-5 hrs if no wind. I seldom pull cranks with it because I have 4stroke main I use. Set it and use terrova to steer with. Boat size, wind, current and type of fishing are all going to effect run time up or down.Quote:

A 55 Ipilot Terrova will pull this boat ALLL day long pulling cranks, love the lay out of that boat.Quote:

But for the cost of those 2 and the difference in weight the golf cart is the only way to go. Just my 2 cents from my experiance.
Dead on Cray, believe in cart batts if you are pulling all electric. I here folks say this and that but if they compare apples to apples the cart batts hold up the best. Only time I have run mine down in 2 cranking seasons we pulled for 9 hours in HI winds. I run a 19.5 basscat with a 200 on it and a lot of added weight, close to 400 pounds in batts cause I have a 101, you'll be tired of fishing before a cart batt is tired of pulling in that rig. Will say it again, sure like that layout, wish my glass boat was laid out like that.
What cart batteries are you using ?
