    Default 24v vs 36v Minn kota terrova motors


    Has any one gone from using a 24v terrova with 4 batteries to a 36v terrova with of course with three? I am interested in the amount of run time differences trolling. I hope to go to the new ulterra when they get it fixed and currently have a 24 volt terrova with 4 batteries. I'm thinking that the 36 volt will be more efficient but don't know whether it is a noticeable difference.

    Thanks,

    Cray, Creek does this as well so he can pull cranks for a full summer day. Says three battery's with a 101# won't make it. Using a battery switch makes it easy.

    2 Marine Batteries and two wal-mart jump starts.Not as much weight as 4 batteries takes up less space.
    Jump starts Shows how much charge left in batteries.Turn switch on when needed off when not needed.Don't always need it. Recharge jump start each time you charge batteries. Can run form daylite till dark and still have enough charge left to clean fish with jump start.

    This is interesting. Can you leave the jump starts connected all the time and just activate them when needed? Any concerns of a power surge? I'm not familiar with how jumpstarts can be used other than their original purpose.

    Never heard of using jump starts in lieu of extra batteries before. Any additional info regarding performance will be greatly appreciated!

    I use a Terrova 101 36v and have pulled cranks all day at Sardis and still had plenty at the end of the day. I think it really depends on boat size and weight , I'm in a 2070 xpress . So I have a very shallow draft and the boat is not that heavy so there is less work the motor has to do.

    It also depends which body of water you fish. I fish the Tennessee River. So I do fish in some current part of the time.
