Handlebarz Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Well I am going to get a new bow mount I ldont like cable steer and do like the price on this unit from Cabelas at $709 USD Minn Kota PowerDrive™ 80PD V2 Motor If you know of a store in Canada that is in the ball park I would look there also. What I need it to do for me Boat 17.5' starcraft superfisherman I need it to be able to handle the detroit river would this unit be big enough for the river? What is the best way to hook up the two batteries I have head both sides one in series and the other in paralle which is better? What about a on board charger I see BPS has a 2 bank on sale for $99 USD that is a 6amp charge. thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 That motor will work great for your boat Mike and this will show you how to hook up the 2 deep cycles for your 24 volt set-up. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...requestid=49312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limeyangler Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 WTG Mr.Eh I just did exactly the same thing this morning, ordered my new Minn Kota Terrova 55lb thrust, Autopilot and Universal Sonar with the Co- pilot remote control....cant wait to get my boat out n the water , still at least a foot of ice out there though Anyway, after checking out the prices everywhere from Ebay to Bass Pro( who did not even stock the model i wanted) i found this unit cheapest by some C$300 than everywhere else at Cabelas in Winnipeg.

SlowPoke Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 If nothing else, get auto pilot Mike. PowerDrive or Terrova (nicer deployment on Terrova) 80lbs will run great, hook 'em in serial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Mike did you try Jocelyn at Angling Outfitters. He sometimes gets some great deals on Minnkotas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
