    I fish Petaluma and Napa River. I was wanting to upgrade and thought it was cheaper and simpler to upgrade to 12 V Riptide Terra Nova 55 lb. I have a friend who just recently set up his Boston Whaler with one. He loves his but power wise, it's not enough for windy, heavy tide days. So I have a 2020 Tracker Classic XL with a Minn Kota Edge 45 lb. It's fine for most fishing but I like to get the iSpot up grade and really thinking for tidal water and winds I need to get a minimum of 24 volt Minn Kota Riptide Terra Nova 80 lb. They say it's better to have more power than not enough when you trying to stay on the fish. Plus the more efficient use of power feature seems like a big plus. I am not concerned with the wire gauge but if that is a big issue, I would cut a box upfront and run it separate directly to trolling motor. I understand it's not too seriously hard to do but I like that it's "fresh space" and not having to run wiring from back plus add another battery to a crowded space. (I changed 6 to 12 gallon fuel tank.)

      @justjimtime1672 Рік тому

      Well, you could leave it in, but it's a good practice to leave the plug out when its not in the water to drain any water that might have gotten in the boat while boating as well as any rain water from traveling. I've always been in the habit to put it before launching and take out after pulling the boat out. Either way, if you have to take the plug out ever to drain water, you wont lose it.
