- Installing a Minn Kota Terrova with foot pedal and i-pilot on a Tracker Classic XL using the quick disconnect mount MKA-16-03. Also moving the battery up to the front center compartment to comply with Minn Kota's wiring standard and converting the old stock wiring to the battery charger wiring, connecting the new battery location to a charger thats mounted in the rear.
Hows it holding up?
I got the same trolling motor putting it on 2019 basstracker classic but ism letting my local boat shop Install it for me
Good job showing some of the difficulties and your home made tool. You can easily use self tapping screws and skip the crazy bolt and nut routine. On the second install of mine I skipped all the nut bolt nightmare and put in extra self tapping into the wood deck below. It is very secure.
What size shaft did you get?
Why not weld the new bracket to the old with a good enough overlap to get the stability needed. No holes to fill with JB weld no holes to drill. Shouldn’t a 24 volt trolling motor draw half as much power as a 12 volt ? Ahhhh yes.
Wow great minds think a like. I plan on doing the exact same thing. Does one battery last all day? I fish about 8-10 hour days when weather is good. Did you notice any difference in performance after moving the battery to the front?
how do you plan on charging the battery up front? are you going to take it out every time after fishing or add a charger?
What gauge is factory?
@Just Jim Time Thanks for the video. How do you like this motor on your Bass boat? I was just at my local dealer and they told me that the Terrova was not good for a Bass boat because of how it stows and deploys, and that it doesn't have a lift cord. How is it working for you
Hi Jim, does the 55lb I pilot keep the boat in place well? I’m thinking about pulling the trigger, but I don’t want to regret not buying the 80lb thrust. Money is not an issue for me, but I don’t want to have it over kill either!
Thanks for the video Jim. I too was debating on whether to get the 24v 80 lb but I think I feel better about just getting the 12v 55 lb thrust instead. Got a 2019 tracker classic myself and definitely need the spot lock.
Great video! Thanks! I also am wanting to upgrade my trolling motor to the terrova but I’ve heard of the headache it is to reach those bolts/nuts. I asked my local bass pro about the process & he said they cut a piece off.
Good video bro thanks for sharing
hey i dont know if you still check this since this is two years old but… anyway, thanks for the video i used it to help me with my installation on my 22 170. - do you have any reinforcement wood etc up front? mine is all aluminum and i have “give” or noticeable movement / flex in the deck when i push up or down on the mount seems like it shouldn't move . i thought maybe it was the spacer grommets but you used them as well is yours pretty solid? or is there any give at the bracket? just wondering if i need to make some changes. thinking about pulling it back off and putting a piece of the starboard plastic under the mount to help spread the load - thanks for the video it helped.
Good evening Jim, did you add a kickstand or any type of support for the top end when the TM is stowed?Do you disconnect the TM when you are charging the batteries? If not is there any chance of damage during charging?
Jim, Do you move it back prior to each loading unloading onto trailer? If not has it ever hit? Great video!
Very well done. Excellent job. How's it running one year later?
I’m getting ready to get the same trolling motor for my 2000 Bass Tracker. I’m going to attempt the install myself.
If you don't mind me asking what the terrova 55 cost you and have you tried it out yet also is there enough room up there for two batteries in that compartment and with that extension you put on do you have any problem getting to the batteries thanks again good video
Great Video Jim. How many inches between terrova skag and prop? My transducer is 7&1/4" that I want to mount on the foot.
