Minn Kota Terrova?
Anyone have any experience with these or there saltwater version, mine will be freshwater use on bass boat? I am buying a new TM and looking at the Fortrex but this is also a option if its worth buying but I have read mixed reviews. Thanks Jason

Yes we know it will be a freshwater one. Cause we all know a saltwater tm according to you doesn't belong on a bass boat.

Wireless modules and transmissions break often.....more moving parts=less reliable. ;) I stopped by my old job at the prop shop this week and he had a pile of the new i pilots and older model minnkotas to work on.

Yep,it's a shame they can't get it right or I would buy one. Being able to run the trolling motor anywhere in the boat and autopilot are nice when they are working.

The Terrova is foot control along with autopilot, not sure how much difference that makes

Still has a transmission with plastic gears that do not last. Fortrex would be much more reliable.

Have you forgotten who you are talking bout. Before he even gets it mounted he'll want something different and 3 times what he paid for it.
