    Default Spot Lock Trolling Motor question


    Hey guys, looking to update my old trolling motor. What’s the cheapest Minnkota trolling motor that offers spot lock? I run a 16ft triton bass boat, so I only need the 12v version with 50-55lbs of thrust.

    Powerdrive V2 would be the cheapest.

    Terrova is a little more expensive, but has a better deploy mechanism and retains the foot pedal.

    Spend the extra and get the terrova. The PD v2 is really tricky to get to deploy for some people, and the terrova will hold resale value better for the future.

    Terrova for all the above reasons. What little difference in money it’s worth saving a few more months for if need be.

    I bought a V2 with ipilot at Bass pro outlet for $550. Works good but I agree with others that the deploy and stow are terrible. Remote is good but there are times I miss the smooth quiet foot control.
