Who has the terrova in 24 volt? How do you like it? Is this not the cheapest option for a spotlock trolling motor?
I have the Terrova in 24v! I love it! Spot lock works great and it is simple to use! I have zero complaints about it!

Yes, yes, and yes.
I have had the powerdrive,terrova and now the ultrex.They are all good trolling motors,i prefer the ultrex though.Terrova is a pain to deploy,mount a transducer to the foot because how it deploys and the foot pedal is awkard,besides that it is a great trolling motor.The ultrex fixes all the problems i listed about the terrova.We you get ready to buy please consider performance fishing electronics,they are a board sponsor heres the number 7314418965,would love to earn your business,thanksQuote:

I had the 24v terrova for 4 years. It was easy to use, powerful enough to troll my 18.5' fiberglass boat for 6+ hours, spot lock and trails was good. I replaced it with a force to link to my Garmins. Issues were spot lock would have a hard time holding under a bridge, sometimes in really heavy current it would get hot and shut off all of the sudden. I think I could have fixed that with heavier gage wire and a better plug though.

No trolling motor will spot lock under a bridge. Can't get a signal.
Going on 5 years with a Terrova and zero problems. Foot peddle does take some getting use to. No problem deploying or storing. I use a Shuttleslide on mine.
I see a man would have to do a little work to get a transducer mounted on the motor but not a big deal. I'm thinking when i get one i may buy a terrova to save some money. I'm running a 2003 maxxum 70 pounder now that i've had rebuilt once so you know the terrova would be a cadillac compared to it. :Rofl Thanks guys. :ThumbsUp
I like mine but I am changing to an Ultrex simply to mount a Mega 360.
All i have is a helix with si & di up front so i'd be fine with that. I have my livescope separate on a pole mount.Quote:

The 24v 70# Power Drive with ipilot/BT is the cheapest of the Minn Kotas with SpotLock. Every bit as good as the Terrova minus the lift assist of the Terrova.

Thanks
I have a new terrova and it’s a 12 volt , so I’m no help on that part. What I can talk of is the PD V2 24 volt 70 lb with auto pilot and co pilot. I’ve had it near ten years and I use my equipment but also take care of it and it’s usually stored out of the weather. I’ve had zero issues with the motor or anything to do with it. When I troll I’m usually on the motor constant for no less than 4 and as many as 7 hours without a hiccup. The performance and durability of this motor led me to buy the 12 volt Terrova for my current boat. Only two things kept me from using the PD V2 on my current boat. One was the second battery that I had no room for and the spot lock feature. Anyone that fishes in any wind at all appreciates that feature. The PD is still running fine and for sale to a new home so I can’t yet say how long they last but it’s longer than I’ve owned mine.
Is the pd v2 controlled strictly by remote or can a foot petal be used when in normal use & then remote for spotlock? Thanks
I stand corrected. I forgot about the Power Drive, but you will definitely want the power assist. My Terrova can be a beast even with it sometimes. Ay my age, my next one is gonna be an Ulterra!Quote:
