bare foot wader Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I put a kipawa prop on mine, very happy with it...ordered the foot pedal as well, love the complete control you get only very minor complaint I've noticed, is sometimes in spot lock it will wrap the cord around the shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Linda Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I-Pilot Link is pretty fun, you can easily stop fishing and mess around with it for quite some time Ask me how I know this! Ha! Bill you don't know me very well. Nothing stops me from the fishing part lol. Manuals beside my bed ? I will never figure it all out, but just the spot lock was worth the $.

BillM Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I put a kipawa prop on mine, very happy with it...ordered the foot pedal as well, love the complete control you get only very minor complaint I've noticed, is sometimes in spot lock it will wrap the cord around the shaft It shouldn't do this.. When mine is about to wrap it does a complete 360 and unwraps itself. Linda, the spot lock is definitely the best feature... I use it all the fime in the fall for open water smallies when they're smashing bait fish 30ft down over 50ft of water. Love it!

John Bacon Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 What's a kipawa prop? http://www.kipawapropellers.com/ I had to look it up myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Looks like you would get a great hole shot! .Seriously,looks like better speed and quicker reaction speed. Must use more battery power I would think?.They say better battery use.Something to look at over the winter I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) not sure about the battery life, never really compared that, I ordered the kipawa prop fairly quick after getting my trolling motor...but it is noticeably more responsive and better control in wind and big chop compared to the standard mk prop...I don't fish very thick weed beds like some ON lakes, but it has no issues with the weeds I do encounter Edited August 4, 2014 by bare foot wader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) BFW AS Bill said it should unwrap itself Never had an issue with mine! Spot Lock is the best I do a lot of jigging for Lakers/Whities here on Simcoe in 100 plus feet of water It is a 'HUGE' pleasure not having to deal with 150' of anchor rope and chain. Linda you might never use the foot pedal!! I have had my Terrova for 3 years and other than hooking it up to see if it worked I have never used it!! Terrova vs PD no comparison for store and deploy Terrova much simpler Enjoy your Terrova Cheers Rick Edited August 5, 2014 by RickOnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bare foot wader Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 thanks for the feedback on the wrapping issue....doesn't happen often but it does happen, i'll try to take a video of it next time, follow up with minn kota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Linda Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Just want to thank everyone again. I am soooo happy with the Terrova! And in my lake very happy with the 60" shaft. If the waves are any size...i need the length. Can't believe the power and battery life! The remote is for me! I can stay seated...anywhere on the boat. I have been known to nearly toss myself overboard with the foot controls on the one I used before. It's just lack of experience and being underpowered I am sure but this Terrova is amazing. Love it!!

MrSimon Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Another happy Terrova/HB 898 guy here. If you don't already have a HB unit that talks to the Terrova .... go get one!!! Its amazing how much control you have without leaving your seat. The ability to drive over a spot, freeze the screen and move the cursor to exactly where you want it .... set a waypoint, then tell the trolling motor to take you to it and hold you on the spot. Its almost like cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
