Just bough my trolling motor and found your video very helpful. From Las Vegas, thank you!
Thanks brother! Glad it helped
I just got mine and am going to get it installed next Monday. I'm really excited about this motor. I haven't had a boat for 25 years when I lived in Florida. When I lived there, I bought a Minn Kota with Auto Pilot and LOVED it! When I got my boat here in South Alabama, I wanted to get another Auto Pilot one and found that it has come a long way!! I might not use every feature on this one, but I do look forward to learning it so I can try it out. Thanks for your video, it was very informative.
Happy to help! You will definitely enjoy it!
Had a blast Thursday night bow fishing. It was a pleasure finally meeting you like I said I felt like I already knew you lol. Todd and I are already talking about our next trip! As always.. Tight lines from Fowl River!
I definitely enjoyed having y’all aboard brother! Can’t wait to do it again soon, thanks!
Just got my new terrova today. Have not installed it yet. Your video was a big help getting me ready to use it. Thank you very much for the demo. Very informative.
Thanks brother, I appreciate the comment!
Greetings from Michigan. Bought a Terrova with Advanced GPS on Friday. Installed it Saturday and tried it out today, Sunday. Thanks for the great info in this video which really helped me get things set up. I love this motor and the advanced GPS features!
Heck yeah, happy to help brother!
I’ve been looking for a video like this! Great job! Really helped me out!
Thanks brother, happy to help!
I just got one of these and had no idea about how to use all the controls. Your explanation was fantastic and really informative. Thanks for putting this out there!
Thanks for your comment brother, happy to help!
Very simple and informative, thanks for the video. Will be taking my trolling motor out for the first time the fist week of April, can’t wait. Coming at you from Nj
Appreciate it brother, you’re going to love it!
You're not wrong about nobody else having a video about this new model lol. Thank you for making one. Solid video and demonstration. I'll subscribe
Thanks brother, I appreciate it and hope it helps!
Thanks man! St. Augustine sandman UA-cam here! Just got mine installed yesterday and this was very helpful! I’ll mention you in my videos when I install. Thanks again brother!
Heck yeah, thanks brother!
Thanks for the video, you did a really good job explaining all the features.
Thanks brother, I did the best I could, lol!
Thanks for the good info. just bought a new terrova last week.
Yes sir! You’re going to love it!
Thank God, someone who actually explains everything.
lol, I try
Thank you for sharing this video so little content about the advance GPS
Yes sir! I appreciate your comment!
Great Video - Thanks dude - I just received my new Riptide Terrova Quest Down Under and can't wait to try these new features 🤘🤘
Heck yeah, you’re going to love it brother!
Excellent, thank you. Just installed a new 2024 Terrova. Will use this on the water to test it out.
Yes sir! Happy to help brother!
Thanks, this was great... one more week before I can get my freshwater terrova quest on the water.
Thanks, you will love it!
Just bought one, good info man thanks! Looking forward to using it for walleye fishing!
Heck yeah! Thanks brother, you’re going to love it!
Thank you, the video was very helpful!! Not much info out there. Thanks again from Maine
Happy to help brother! Thanks for your comment.
Thank you just bought one and this video helped me out a lot
Happy to help brother!
Great info. I have that setup and this was invaluable. Thanks!
Happy to help, thanks!
Just got a new terrvona thanks for the video
Awesome, happy to help!
I’m a yankee but this is an incredible video!!!! Thanks so much!!!😮
Thanks brother!
Love this channel!!
Thanks brother!
thanks from the blackforest germany ... i will get the engine next week. .the black one . now i know how it works. great
Awesome brother!
You should do a video on manually stowing a ulterra Quest. Thanks for the awesome explanation video.
Thanks. I am installing new terrova now. I have all garmin graphs.
Heck yeah, you’re going to love it!
Set you lock a course and use cruise control at the same time
Point the bow toward a heading you want to stay on and set autopilot then use cruise to set at 1.1 MPH
Thanks for the very informative video
Drift mode combines those two features into one mode. Thanks for your comment brother!
@bayoubanditcharters I'm confused on the difference between Drift Mode and Locked Course. Is it just that in Drift Mode you can specify a MPH over ground and in Locked Course you can only control prop speed?
Yes. Drift mode does both! So if you’re fishing with a strong tail wind, drift mode will slow your boat down and steer.
Very good video explain operation and calibration very well, good job thank you
Yes sir! Thanks for your comment!
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks, happy to help!
Thanks, great video!
Yes sir! Definitely appreciate your comment, thanks!
Very helpful thank you!!!
Happy to help brother!
New sub here. Very informative and helpful. Thank You
Thanks brother!
I purchased one the other day and installed it. Can’t wait to try it out and learn more about it. Question do you have to have hummingbird fishfinder to drift and follow Shoreline as you were speaking also Cruise?
No, I only have the remote and all functions work fine!
Cheers from Australia
Cheers brother!
Drift mode sounds amazing.
It’s pretty cool brother!
Thanks for the video. I just got my Riptide Quest Instinct 87" installed on my offshore boat and need to test it out. I wasn't clear on how you set the desired speed for SOG. I will watch again to try and pick that up.
Thanks for your comment! The up/down arrows.
Drift mode and lock course seem to do the same thing? Great video and very informative.
Drift mode combines auto pilot and cruise control into one! You can set your target speed as well as your heading
Excellent and informative video… thanks from a new subscriber. I just installed my new adv nav Terrova. I put the puck on the bow centerline. I did install next to motor. I know in the past this was frowned upon…
Thanks brother! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been enjoying mine!
To drift down stream (slower than the current) with the bow pointed upstream…..what is the best setup? Thanks for your help! Great video.
Drift mode for sure!
Good Video. You didnt mention what pound thrust you have? Thanks
Sorry about that, 36v-112
Minn Kota should buy and link this video.
Lol, thanks brother! Just a Southern boy trying to explain new electronics, lol! Hope it helps!
That looks like a nice unit but as old as I'm getting , I can hardly operate my Tv remote lol . Best of luck with the new motor .
Lol, I can understand that. I took a little getting used to it, but I love it so far.
Thank you sir.
Happy to help brother!
Very nice informative video, being new to this. I had the dealer install this when recently purchasing my boat and have yet to slash it (right around the corner). Only 1/3rd into the Terrova manual, after viewing this video I now feel I have gained most of the info I need, except a couple things.
I have the Terrova Quest with Chirp model:
1. I don't think mine came with a "puck" is that an option? And is it a "must have" option to be accurate with navigating? I don't remember the Dealer showing me this nor does it look like it was listed as "contents within package" inside my manual.
2. If you're Vertical jigging in a strong current river trying to keep your fishing line straight going with the current. Is it better to experiment with "Cruise control" or "Drift"? And if you chose Drift, do you point to landmark upstream or downstream?
Thanks for the taking time to produce this video.
Thanks brother! Mine came with the puck in the box, so I'm not sure with the different models? I would use Drift mode pointed upstream and set your speed over ground to the desired drift you want. Drift mode combines auto-pilot and cruise control into one mode.
@@bayoubanditcharters Thanks, yeah I ended up looking at the "puck" manual online it stated,
"*Not applicable with QUEST series trolling motors which feature an internal heading sensor."
Being I have a Quest model that solves my mystery; Thanks again.
I ordered one! I was waiting for something like drift mode for river fishing.
Heck yeah! Drift mode is my favorite!
Good video
Thanks brother, I appreciate it!
Where did you run your heading sensor to the battery directly or switch panel ?
Wire is just so small getting it into a good connection on 5/16 O terminal
I ran it to a terminal on my fuse block
Thanks. I had one question. If there is no wind or breeze does this effect the spot lock? It seems it works better with the wind then not any wind? Or am I doing something wrong.
Wind or no wind it will hold you on that spot
Thanks for sharing!! How do you attach the lanyard?
It has a belt loop clip or one that goes around your neck.
Do you have to sink the head everytime or just initially? I am setting mine up tomorrow for the first time. Great video.
Just once
Great thank you.
Had my Riptide Terrova out today for the 1st time. Stuck with spot lock and manual control of the motor. This video was a big help for next time! BTW, how long do the remote's batteries last?
Forever! I’m still using the batteries that came with it and still showing almost full charge after several months of use!
@@bayoubanditcharters great to hear! Thanks
Is it possible to use auto pilot and cruise control at the same time? My very old Motor Guide allows it.
Yes, I do that quite a bit.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Powerdrive Advanced GPS. Is there any advantage to simply getting the micro remote and using either the One Boat or the Minn Kota app to use some of the advanced features? Or should I just pay for the advanced remote and get it over with?
Very informative video and perfectly explained. I;ll be visiting more often....
The remote came standard with mine
@@bayoubanditcharters Thank you for your quick reply. Is there any advantage to that remote vs. the micro.
Like button smashed.
Question: Can I use this New Advanced GPS Remote with a Minn Kota Ulterra iPilot or do I need an i-Link trolling motor to be able to use this remote? Please advise. Thank you.
I don’t think they will work like that. performancefishingelectronics.com/ would definitely know, thanks!
curious if drift mode, follow contour or follow track can go below .5mph I like to drift slow and jig at .2 or .3mph but seems like legacy units have trouble doing that getting much below .5mph
It should. You can set your SOG to any speed you want, I usually run mine at .8
the new Advanced GPS Minn Kota Terrova what is the difference between using the phone app and the the bigger style of the advance GPS remote as far as functions go do you not get all functions with the phone vs the advance remote thank you.waiting to do a purchase as soon as i get a response
I have not used the phone app yet, only the remote that comes with the trolling motor.
Hey thanks for the video. Very informative. It's strange nobody else have made any review or anything about the motor. I am going to by a terrova soon, and i can see here i denmark that the old model is being sold out now, so i guess the new model is on the way.
Do you know if there are any differences between the new and old motor?
Is it only the remote and software there a new?
Thanks for your comment brother. The new ones are supposed to be more durable they say? So far I’m loving it!
Thanks for the answer. I heard that the lift assist was removed from the new model. Maybe it was a weak point on the old model. Well it looks great and very simple to use with the new remote layout.
I think i will buy that one.
Just recieved the new 2024 model today. Your video convinced me. Thx.
Heck yeah brother! You’re going to love it!
Hello, love the review my only question is I thought the heading sensor is built into the unit? I can’t find anywhere that you need to use the puck. Please clarify for me before I purchase thanks!
To my understanding, the advanced GPS unit does have a heading sensor in the head unit. It comes with the puck in the box, which needs to be installed for more precise location acracy.
@@bayoubanditcharters that helps a ton. I had no idea it came in the box. Thanks I’ve been looking everywhere for this answer.
@@Dr4co6412 Don't know if you found your answer or not? I recently found out by downloading the "puck" manual. It stated inside the manual, that the Terrova QUEST model, "has an internal heading sensor built-in".
Don't know if you have/going to purchase, a Quest model or not? Hope that helps...
Can you plug a foot controller into this new Riptide Terrova?
Also, I have a Humminbird networking model at my counsel running a transducer off the back. How do I connect this Terrova to the Humminbird unit?
Yes you can! You connect to the factory plug on the head unit
Wow, drift mode looks excellent. I am a walleye fisherman and trying to drift in goofy, variable winds is a nightmare. I just got mine mounted and will give it a trial on the water in a couple of days. Just to be sure - does drift mode require a hummin bird? The manual isn't too clear on what features need the depth finder. Thanks for the great video!
No hummin bird required
Thanks!
Love it bro.
Does it require you to have the heading puck to do the Is calibrating
Ther puck comes in the box with the trolling motor.
What does th3 quick #2 button do? #1 is drift, #3 is record track. Also the button above the power button being One Boat Network, how does that function or work? This would be a good follow-up video
#2 button pulls up all of your saved tracks and waypoints
Got the Ulterra version and still learning. I did not get the puck so not sure if I can do the keel offset and head direction or not.
I think it's built in the head unit on yours.
@@bayoubanditcharters my Ulterra came with one.2024 model
Will the track functions work if you do not have hummingbird graph?
Absolutely! I don't have a Hummingbird. It will store 20 tracks with just the remote!
Do you still need the headin sensor for the spot jog feature
It comes with the trolling motor
Is there a way to use harming sidescope withe Minn Kota ulterrra
I’m sure there is. Give Danny a call!
If I’m drifting in current and want to slow my drift down can I activate the drift mode to slow me down from 3mph to 1.5 mph
Absolutely! That’s what I do when fishing creeks with wind pushing me from behind. The trolling motor will spin around and slow down your boat speed. It works awesome!
@@bayoubanditcharters I’m new to this so last question. How do I set the target speed ? Thank you
When trying to calibrate - it shows 0% but the circle is full. Tried to restart and reconnect but still shows the same, no change after doing circles. Thoughts?
Make sure your puck is blue toothed to the trolling motor.
How do I press the puck button and hold it AND go to my trolling motor if they are not next to each other? Thanks for the help.
Press and hold for a couple of seconds until the light changes colors, then release the button on the puck which will put it in pair mode, then go to the trolling motor and press the pair button. they do not have to be pressed at the same exact time. The directions for pairing are in the manual.
@@bayoubanditcharters Thank you
Im about to purchase a trolling motor. I'm torn between a Rhodan and a Terrova. Still like your new Minn Kota? Would you still recommend it?
Absolutely love it!
Thanks, I'm about to pull the trigger!
How long of a track recording can you do? Is there a limit?
I believe you can store 20 tracks 1/2 mile long on the remote!
what's the difference between Locked Course Mode and Drift Mode? Seems like they do the same thing
Drift mode combines locked course and cruise control into one mode! You can set your course and speed!
Is the heading puck included in the box or must it be purchased separately?
It’s all included
@@bayoubanditcharters Thanks!
I learned today that my Terrova 2024 Advanced GPS does not need a heading sensor like the one shown at 1:18. No wonder why I couldn't get it to pair with the trolling motor! It isn't supposed to have one!
Well mine came with the heading sensor in the box with the trolling motor. I followed the instructions provided with the trolling motor and paired the puck with no issues?
Love your vid, I subscribed! Like you said, there are no videos out on Advanced GPS and hardly any forums or websites with any info explaining the change from iPilot link. There is going to be a lot of confusion, I know I'm not going to be the only one. But the Minn Kota rep on the phone made me feel like an idiot. Had a hard time with the update, too... until I realized it's not iPilot link anymore.
Such a weird thing. Guess the Riptide Terrova's still come with the heading sensor?
The Minn Kota rep on the phone actually chuckled at me when I said my heading sensor was missing from the box. Told me it comes integrated with the head and it's no longer needed. All I need to do is the keel offset and all the features will activate.
Hey man just kinda curious. I just bought a new terrova and mine came with a heading sensor. Question is how did you find out that you didn't need it? Just don't want to install it without needing to.
@@midwayadam1 Hmm that is confusing. I'll post a link to the one I bought. I got the 36v/24v Terrova with side imaging. It didn't come with the white puck heading sensor so I called and complained. The rep asked if I was sure it wasn't there and I said I was sure... then they sent me one in the mail.
Well, it wouldn't pair to my trolling motor no matter what I tried. Learned the iPilot updates didn't work because it is now called Advanced GPS. Those updates worked. Still wouldn't pair to the puck. SO, I called in again and the rep laughed and asked where I got the puck. Told me it isn't supposed to have one. I plan to take it out on the water tomorrow to test all the features and see how tight spot lock will keep me without having a puck.
@@joshuasmith2689 yeah I don't know I got a 24v terrova as far as I know it's mainly for spot lock jog feature. I was able to pair mine. Good luck buddy didn't mean to stir the pot and get you thinking. 😂
👍
Is this new remote compatible with a 2022 Ipilot Terrova, not a Quest series.
No, this is the new Advanced GPS model and the remote comes with the unit
How long does the battery last ? And what volt do you use .. awesome vid
36v. I run Ionic lithium batteries so I can fish all day long, then run a 5 hour flounder gigging charter and still have about 40% battery left! The original Remote battery still says full charge
@@bayoubanditcharters that’s awesome .. damn expensive battery !
Actually they are pretty reasonable considering the 11 year warranty, maintenance free, twice the power of lead acid, fast charge times, and weighing only 30lb each. It’s definitely what I need for running my charter trips!
@@bayoubanditcharters wow 11 years that’s really good. I mostly troll, I have a 8 horse kicker on my tracker and I was thinking of getting that setup to help steer, use the kicker for speed and then the minn kota to steer .. you think it would be good for that ?
What is the difference between drift mode and auto pilot? It seems to serve the same purpose, maybe I’m missing something. TIA
Drift mode combines auto pilot and cruise control into one! You can set your target speed as well as your heading
Thank you for your reply and informative video. I picked up a new terrova as well and could not find a video on UA-cam as extensive as yours.
On your remote, do the trolling motor battery icon light up?
No, the remote control battery indicator does. You can check your main battery level on the head unit.
@@bayoubanditcharters ok, i thought something was wrong with my remote. I do check it on the head unit. I saw the trolling motor battery icon and wondered why it wasn't lightning up.
Did you have to ride it in 2 circles or it did it by itself ?
Yes, I just followed the instructions
Just ordered a Terrova. Do i need the puck?
It came with mine. Yes.
hi ... you go to spot Lock ... How to set the speed on remote control....my speed ist automatically fast on 10 ...that ist to fast....i don't now.....kann you help
You don’t. Slow your boat down until you are basically stopped, then hit spot lock. If you hit spot lock while moving fast, I’ll will try to get back to that exact point as fast as it can. So yes, it will be on 10 until it gets to the spot where you hit the button. Only then will it settle down and hold the position
This is the worst feature of the Terrova. I have the model before this one (salt version) and I fish very shallow places where I need to be super stealthy. But spot lock has no “GO EASY” mode so you almost always get that big surge that yells at all the fish. I’ve talked to MinnKota about it and am hoping they release a software update that allows a “soft” mode for Spot Lock.
I do agree! That’s why I love my Power Poles!
Do you have to have a hummingbird to lay a track
No sir! You can save up to 20 tracks with just the remote!
How is drift mode any different than Locked GPS mode
Drift mode combines locked GPS and cruise control into one mode
Hi. Maybe I said it wrong... we have a "go to" option on the remote control... and if I mark a point on the water and then want to return to it, the boat starts immediately at speed 10, regardless of whether it is facing that direction or not ...and this causes you to fall out of the boat when it is setting.....how to reduce the speed on the remote control, when the boat is sailing to the point I reduce the speed from 10, the navigation turns off.... please help, maybe a video from you... .. greetings, Dawid from Poland
The navigation should not turn off by reducing or increasing your speed, however if you hit your right or left arrows to change direction, it will turn off navigation. I point mine in the direction of travel, before hitting navigation, then reduced speed if needed
thanks for the answer,,,, on my remote control I cannot reduce the speed when I sail to a remembered point, it turns off the navigation, there is always a maximum of 10... I don't know how to do it, I know that nothing is broken, it's just a matter of setting... ..but what?🤔🤔🤔
Someone with a southern accent talking about trout fishing made me do a double take, lol
Lol, speckled trout, not rainbows!
@@bayoubanditcharters Ohh, I didn't realize it was saltwater.
Lol, yes sir! Alabama and Mississippi gulf coast!
Plenty of freshwater trout in southern states.
How does the phone app compare to the actual remote?
Honestly I haven’t tried using it yet
Almost exactly the same
Can the remote display the dept?
No
Will this work with any bluetooth terrova
Will what work?
Can you change the brightness on the screen?
Not to my knowledge.
Yes, you can. There are 5 backlight settings. It also has light and dark themes. I'm still figuring mine out.
Is there a way to create a track without having to drive it out? Is there a way to virtually create a track by utilizing a map app or something? I’d like to pull up at a new lake, push a button and fish a predetermined path.
Not that I’m aware of
@@bayoubanditcharters there’s the million dollar 💡🤔
Is that the 80lb thrust?
112
Witch puck do u have for it
Just the one that came in the box with it
Is it quieter than your old motor?
It’s super quiet!
Whats the model name?
whats the battery life on the new remote?
Unbelievably good! I still have the original batteries in mine, and the indicator shows 75% left.
This remote uses 2 - AA Batteries, correct?@@bayoubanditcharters
I have one and I can't get spot lock to work properly.
What is your issue?
Is that a 24/80?
36v 112
