Location: Contrarian Island | Get the 60" for sure...there have been many days I've had my 690 on larger lakes I wished mine had a 65" or 70" shaft..when they build it I will buy it....If you plan on fishing any lake over 2k acres get the 60"....you will be much happier if you do...
getting a short trolling motor shaft is like putting less than the max hp on the back of your boat...dumb.
I have an 80 lb AP, 24 volt with two 31 AGM batteries...there hasn't been a day I've come close to running out of juice...
personally I do not like the Terrovas foot pedal and would not get one...imo the PD foot pedal is simple/easy and works well.. I would buy another PD like the one I have and would be forced to go with the 70 lb as I think that is their biggest in the PD but I know that would work just fine on my 690.
I also don't quite get the concept of guys not having their trolling motors all the way down, all the time, unless you are fishing in less than 2 feet of water or running the boat from the back so you can see the head, what is the point to raising them up?
