Subject: RE: trolling motor advice

Sounds like you've answered all of your own questions. I have a Terrova and love it, never had an emergency situation where I needed to lift the trolling motor or turn the head 180 degrees in an instant. I like not having my foot on the pedal all day and the freedom to move the pedal anywhere in the boat, that's why I went with the Terrova. If I fished in current a lot I'd probably want a cable drive.

I own a 19' Champion bass boat. It came with a 70 or 74# motor guide trolling motor and I did not think that was enough power. Guys on here will probably tell you that 70-80#'s is enough power, I disagree. I like having the extra power and battery life a 36V, 101# gives you.

Really, though, it's probably all about how you fish and what you're used to.
