I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

So anybody used or have thoughts on terovva w/I pilot.. Thinking bout a new purchase I need a trolling motor.mine might not make it another year.cable vs electric..what's ur thoughts

YpsiBass

It's all a matter of personal preference really. I couldn't deal with the slow turn speed of the electric steer.  Controlling the darn thing when I'm hung up in a tree on the bank is a giant pain in the ass too.  CABLESTEER4LIEF.

i liked my terrova until you had to maneuver quickly - like around docks - then its the worst thing in the world.

i went back to cable.

Fished Hubbard lake last year in my partners Lund Walleye boat.  The I Pilot was an awesome motor with it's follow the contour function.  It was a brand new motor.  The last day it would not turn on.  We tried everything.  There is no easy way to deploy it or make it work.  We ended up not getting to fish the last day tournament.   Headed home and about an hour later we stopped for breakfast.  It booted right up.  Turns out it was moisture in the control head on top of the motor.  My buddy was able to recreate the problem and the factory sent him new parts.  Great motor just to dependent on the electronics to run it.

  I like my Minn Kota Maxx.  I have spare steering cables and circuit board with wires. .

I have both.  I have a cable steer on my bass boat and a terrova on my tin boat.  I love the terrova, and i-pilot is simply incredible, but the previous comments are valid, when trying to steer quickly in tight quarters, the terrova is a bit slower.  Depends on how you fish most of the time.

Thanks for the help.lots of $$$$ I  wouldn't expect them kinda problems.the I pilot feature looks like it would be a great thing.expecially windy days when it's time to change lures.hmmmm

BIGSHOW

I loved my terrova. The only thing that I didn't like is you couldn't use spotlight scan on it. Only with cable steer. So I went without it. Just seemed like a cool option. My boat before had the cable and it seemed to get in the way all the time. My new one has a terrova and I  can't wait to get out.

bassmandan

dunno what size motor you are looking for but i have a 24v cable drive minn kota in the for sale section
"dont stop keep fishing"

Might be interested .still weighing my options but that one would work well on my boat.1995 ranger 361.
