      Thank you for the order Hans, you got it in just as I was headed to the post office this morning and I got it out for you. It might be a bit for the ice to leave this year. Good luck this season!

    Hi bud looking to get a set of these mounts. I just purchased negative not realizing it wrong got on the shaft.

    you get less intef mounting it that ? The other way I'm thinking it can hit the motor. it comes close the way HB tells you to mount it. Your way might be better more view for the mega live then maybe hitting side of motor What's your thought on it ???

    I ordered to barrel mount, but there was no cable protector that attaches at the base. Is that correct?

    Mounted on barrel but i cant get forward mode to work any ideas on this thanks. When i put the ML in postion its showing the bottom i assume up and down the screen.

    Looks great! Any reasons why this would or wouldn't work on Ulterra?...thanks

    • @NetBuddyFishing
      @NetBuddyFishing  2 роки тому +1

      It can work on a Ulterra, but it is not ideal. I did it for 2 years. Essentially instead of wrapping the cable around the shaft. You just have it loose and electrical tape up by the control head to the trolling motor cable. You give enough slack in the cable to not hit the propeller. It was never an issue when deploying but when stowing you do have to go up front and help the cable stow or it can get pinched.

    Absolutely LOVE this idea.. Just ordered the kit!! From one terrova owner to another, Thank you!! Ps.. I’ve got a bunch of rod sleeves already. Are all rod sleeves pretty much universal in length or is there others? Also, did you run your mega live power to trolling batteries, separate battery or cranking? Thanks again!!

    • @NetBuddyFishing
      @NetBuddyFishing  2 роки тому

      Hey Matt, Thank you for the order, will get it shipped out right away. Most rod sleeves are 6-7'6, We ended up using 3 on the install for my brother. I would recommend wiring to the starter or separate. Feel free to reply to your order email and I'd be happy to help with any other questions you have.

      Not a good idea a lot of interference with motor on. When chasing school of fish have to have it on and almost impossible to see your lure and fish get a pole have seen good reviews!.

    Are you able to use spot lock still with that installed? Also, any interference when using the built in MDI on the Terrova? I have the same one

    • @NetBuddyFishing
      @NetBuddyFishing  2 роки тому

      You can spot lock no problem. There will be some interference with the down imagine signal, but that will happen regardless of where it’s mounted. There is not interference form the trolling motor barrel.

    How can I purchase one ?and will it work on an advantage trolling motor on a tiller in the back?.. I would think it would be the same concept it's on the barrel... Let me know what you think and I'd like to purchase one if that would work for me.
