You will need a Terrova for spot lock. Sounds like a 55lb might do you. If you go higher which I would prefer it will have to be 24 volt.
Debating on upgrading my trolling motor in hopes of gaining more boat control. Currently running a Minnkota Edge 45. It’s ok for general use I guess but I have my dislikes. I see a bunch of Minnkotas available online but not sure what model would suit me best. I want spot lock and remote/foot pedal control. 12V 45” shaft on a 1548 Xpress. I know some models get stupid expensive but if I can figure out the model I need I can keep an eye out for a deal.

You can do power drive but it has to have ipilot to have spotlock. That's what gives it the GPS reading to hold still. The Terrova will have a better spot lock because it has a two GPS readings.

If your gonna troll you really need a longer shaft to keep the prop deep enough in the wind.

Thanks guys! Financially I will likely have to get a used one. So powerdrive and terrova will need to be what I look for? Based on what G said, do I need to consider going up to the 55” shaft?
Terrova...with Ipilot... with foot pedal and remote...12 volt 55lb. thrust....55 inch shaft. If you find a deal on one with a longer shaft you can always cut the shaft down.
