| I picked up a 2014 Minn Kota terova 24 volt with spot lock on the fob, not on the foot pedal. It has a transducer built in and was wondering if I need a puck for spot lock to work. I'm replacing a 12 volt terova with no spot lock.
'Thanks in advance for any clarification on this subject. |

Location: SW Ohio | My Terrova doesn’t need a puck for spot lock. It’s a ‘14 model if I remember correctly. I think they have better control or are more sensitive with a puck, though. Works well enough for me but I’m not jigging over small targets. The Terrova is my backup now. |

| GPS sensor is inside the trolling motor head, no need for a puck. Your spot lock will work just fine. Also, the Terrovas never come with the spot lock feature on the foot pedal. |

I must own a unicorn. My 3 year old terrova has spot lock on the foot pedal. (anchor marking) |

| Spot lock on the foot pedal on terrovas wasn't a feature until like 2017 or something I think. |

Location: SW Ohio | I bought the $100 mini remote. The remote that came with the Terrova is too big and heavy, although it does have more features. |

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota | I have a 10 year old terrova 24v on my jon boat with no puck and I can spotlock in current fine without much drifting. If I was walleye fishing and needed to sit on little targets it might be different but works great for musky |
