What's the difference between a v2 and terrova?

I think the V2 is just a improved version of the old Power drive

Also the Terrova has a easier to use latching system to deploy and stow and also has a digital type motor and a built in maximizer so it uses less battery current than the PD,s do

Cant use the foot control and remote at the same time with the V2 and can with the Terrova.
Also the foot is larger diameter so you have a larger brush turning it which translates to efficiency and longevity.
Wannabe...
Just got a Terrova and don't know what I did without it till now. The variable speed is a battery savin deal and it is very easy to deploy. I took the head of mine off and re-routed the transducer cable into the "slot" on the shaft.
Plus, if you call MinnKota and give them MY name, they'll special configure the "WB Single Fish" system smack into your motor. Don't cost a thing xtra, neither. Last time I checked they was bout out so you better hurry.
From what I'm reading, they have the same mount and motor...?

I don't think your reading right.....the motors on the PD's are not digital and they do not have the built in maximizer therefore the battery run time on them is a lot less than on the terrova. Get a Terrova.....they are worth the difference in cost, by far better TM's......... just ask Scott, he swapped is PD out for a Terrova.
$800.00
My V2 has the Maximiser:dono
Ok, I belive you but there brochure says the both have digital maximizer

May be but its not written on the PD like it is on the Terrova,and I know for a fact the PD's use more battery......thats why Scott and some of the others have switched.
Ok and I'm seeing the mounts are slightly different... But even on their comparison chart the mount is the only difference I can see...? Don't know?

A PD is harder to deploy and stow than a Terrova because the mount and latch are made different. I have used them both and to me the foot control works better on the Terrova plus the fact that on the Terrova you can use both the remote and the foot control at the same time which is nice if your at the back of the boat with the remote reeling in a fish and your partner is up front and needs to make a correction or a change of course for some reason. And I really think the steering is better on the Terrova.

From a guy that has had 2 powerdrives and now has a Terrova, get the Terrova if u can. Sorta like getting an F-150 work truck or an F-250 King Ranch. The 150 will do the job but the 250 is SO MUCH sweeter!!!

I had one on order from Sportsman Guide because if you join their Buyer's Club($25 I think) you get a 10% discount. The Terrrova list at $1209 so we talking a $120 off. However they had them on backorder until May 5th and I did not want to wait so I found one place that offered free shipping and got it from there. Just now got it installed and made a couple of test runs. So far I like it, but if you are use to a cable control unit this type is slower to react. I will be at Santee Coopr for a week fishing in the flooded cypress swamps. That is where I am a little concerned about the reaction time on the foot control. We'll see.

I think handi nailed it!
Me too.
Yep
Yep--I have the V2--it has the Maximiser--but yes the foot is different. i think the Terrova is a bit beefier.

The Terrova is the flagship motor in the electric steer model line. It features breakaway ramps for easy stowing and deploying, it has safety feature that cuts power to the motor while it is in the stowed position, it can also use the foot pedal and the i-Pilot simultaneously where as the PowerDrive V2 cannot use a foot pedal while the i-Pilot is installed.

Also, in a 24v, v2 is 70lbs, Terrova is 80 lbs.
