Anybody have experience in removing the lift assist on a Terrova? Looking at a new Terrova and getting the Cornfield crappie 360 mount. I am thinking that with both I will not have enough shaft in the water and also the head of motor would be setting up so high it would be in the way of the rods for spider rigging. Thanks
Isn't the lift assist part of the steering collar?
It can be removed. I haven’t removed one but know a couple of guys who have. Looks pretty simple.

It is simple, I took mine off. Just disassemble. Just watch the coil in the lift assist. It will spring out and cut you if you aren't careful.

Do you have to take the head off to slide off the shaft??
Yes, I disconnected and took the head off

I removed the lift assist from my terrova 45” because I didn’t want the 60” laying across the bow. Pretty simple removal
Old thread, but I have a question. Will the Terrova motor work correctly if the entire lift assist box was removed and left off?
Thanks,
Yes, I took mine off.
Just a quick question, why would you buy this motor over a Ultrex to start with. Loooking to purchase a new motor.
At the time mostly spider rigged open water and did'nt want/need a foot pedal. A remote and spot-loc is all I wanted.
Ultrex has a digital foot pedal which is a lot smoother. Lift is assisted with pistons I will call them. Stowing is alittle different. Price. Totally different from a Terrova. Most of the guys I know using a Ultrex end up replacing the rope with a cable they can buy as rope handle freys and wears out.Quote:
