I want to buy a minnkota trolling motor with ipilot. My boat is a 16.5' lund so am looking at the 55#. What I was wondering is what the difference is between the Terrova and Powerdrive model and if the Terrova is worth the extra $300. Also any input about the ipilot would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

I'm considering the same thing and don't think I want to give up the foot pedal. I want to compare how they stow and deploy my current powerdrive is a PITA

Hey guys....I pilot is awesome!!

The biggest difference is the foot pedal. The Terrova allows you to use the foot-pedal and the handheld remote. The Powerdrive is only the remote. Hope this helps.

I also run the Terrova on a Ranger 620.. had the Genesis before.. I pilot is awesome.. I fish alone alot and I have used the "anchor me here" tons. Still though I use the foot pedal more.. old habits I guess

I have only good to report about the motor... good run times on a charge easy deploy etc and and I have gotten excellent service from the CDN distributor Johnson Outdoors! If you are going to want one you ought to get it on order.. last year there was a big wait for product

Good Luck!

So you think the Terrova is worth the extra money. I know it comes with the foot pedal and believe it is a bit of $100 but also has a different release mechanisim than the powerdrive V2.
I am leaning towards the Terrova.
Thanks to all for your input.

I cannot comment on the comparsion as I had a Genesis with the power stow... but I can tell you have have had no issue with the stowing or deploying the Terrova.

when it comes ot fishing (or hunting) I figure that is it is more expensive it must be better:) so I might not be the best judge of value :mrgreen:

Not sure you can go wrong, but I favour the Terrova.

good luck!

C5 is correct about ordering the Terrova IPilot. If you are serius about getting one. Order now.

Just ordered mine today and it ill be at least 30 days before it gets to Kingston, mid April.

The I-pilot Terrova is an awesome unit, I wouldn't be without it.
