My Terrova gotr to my home today. I am going to get it installed on Tuesday and will try it out on Tuesday afternoon. I'm really excited about this motor. I haven't had a boat in 25 years. When I lived in Central Florida, I had a Minn Kota with Auto Pilot and I loved that motor. This was before the GPS and all of that, but I could just point it and put the motor on about #1 setting and fish a grass line for the longest time and not have to do anything but FISH. I bought my latest boat 4 months ago and I came with an old Motor Guide and it was not good. I saved my nickels (about $1,800 worth) and got me a Terrova. I'm real excited!
Great video. I have been using the remote exclusively since I purchased my Terrova but now want to incorporate the foot pedal usage more. Your video cleared up some questions I had concerning the foot pedal. Thanks
I just ordered the Minn Kota Terrova 112 Trolling Motor w/Wireless Remote - MEGA Down Imaging - 36V - 112LB - 60" today. Will be putting it on my Tritoon. Excited to see how well it works. Question, do you count the starting battery in your 36V needed for this setup?
@@DrJeffM No you would need 3 dedicated trolling motor batteries. Another solution is to do a single large 36V lithium ion battery so you’d only have one trolling motor battery
just purchased and had mine installed bY BPS tuesday 3-12-24 during the Triple Crown Special ( free install + used my VIP discount saved over $500 ) ... didn't even think about the foot pedal thing ... mine came with it and was already connected ... I like the idea / option of not having to have the pedal .... now im even more excited to use it next week
@@wendellbirch8174 It's pretty much ready to go out of the box ..... especially when you have it installed ..they verify everything is GOOD TO GO only thing I had to do was hit the on button on the trolling motor and the on the WHITE GPS UNIT , and turn on the remote control ..... no programming was needed .... just be careful when using the ANCHOR / SPOT lock feature ,,, if you are moving forward at a good rate and you hit SPOT LOCK the head will almost instantly spin around to bring the boat back to the point where you engaged the spot lock ... and your CABLES may wrap around the shaft more than recommended .... SO dont be hauling ASS and hit spot lock ... or your BUTT cheeks might pucker a bit LOL .... ( like mine did !! ) if you plan on getting a compatible graph the will work thru the supplied transducer ... then you might want then to do a more detailed operation tutorial with ya....but I think its also pretty much basic if you are using just the 2D sonar as connect the supplied cables /adapters and away you go... but if you get into setting up chart plotting way points . auto piolet thru the graph then YA programming is involved ....
You need I-pilot link for that and a hummingbird fishfinder with network for that. Or you can program a track manually by recording as you go or record as you drive boat with OB.
I bought a used Terrova trolling motor and couldn’t figure out how to set the spot lock while using the foot pedal. Hopefully mine has the button under the speed dial once I use it again. Do all the Terrova pedals have the spot lock feature on the pedal? I never recalled seeing that button. Hopefully Ive just missed it. Thanks for video
Thanks for the video. Can you lock the direction of the boat in spot lock mode? I noticed sometimes when I am spot lock in a back eddy or swirl current that the boat does 360's as its confused on the current direction.
I wish there was but unfortunately there's no way to lock in a direction using the spot lock feature because its always trying to find the most efficient way to hold you in place.
Yes you can save GPS routes. Make sure the trolling motor is on and hit the record button on the remote. The cool thing is that the trolling motor doesn't have to be deployed to create the route so you can use your big motor to trace the route and then go back through it with the trolling motor.
Good job, excellent! I have a terrova coming today. Thanks
Great video, l learned several things watching this. Thank you.

@@ntj030885 I like the foot pedal much more now.

Hi, I'm thinking about having them install mine, did you have to program it on the water ? Yourself?

just got my terrova, Great video and information!!!
Will the gps work wo the ipilot? I have the pedal but no spot lock on it. I inherited all of this. Thanks
Great video, thank you!
Thanks dude, I'm just about to purchase
Glad you found it helpful!
How do you program it to stay along a shoreline at a specific depth?
You need I-pilot link for that and a hummingbird fishfinder with network for that.
Or you can program a track manually by recording as you go or record as you drive boat with OB.

Thanks 👍
Can you use the ipilot at the same time as foot pedal or is it one or the other
You can still use the iPilot at the same time as the foot pedal.
Thanks for the video. Can you lock the direction of the boat in spot lock mode? I noticed sometimes when I am spot lock in a back eddy or swirl current that the boat does 360's as its confused on the current direction.
I wish there was but unfortunately there's no way to lock in a direction using the spot lock feature because its always trying to find the most efficient way to hold you in place.
I wonder if you drop an anchor off the back it will keep the boat pointing in the same direction?
Does this unit have a way to save gps routes
Yes you can save GPS routes. Make sure the trolling motor is on and hit the record button on the remote. The cool thing is that the trolling motor doesn't have to be deployed to create the route so you can use your big motor to trace the route and then go back through it with the trolling motor.
