Thinking of a new trolling motor (with ipilot)
Like the title says, wanting to get a new trolling motor for my Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW. More than likely won't get it till next winter but really liking the Minnkota Terrova with the Ipilot but not real familiar with what all is involved as far as what you have to have. The guide we had at Ky Lake has it and has the routes already lined out so he only used the remote to go around a boat that was in the route and really like that setup but what all is involved? I know you have to have a humminbird that's capable of linking up to ipilot. Also, what pound thrust do you recommend for a PT 175? I'm wanting to step up to a 24v motor so leaning towards the 80lb thrust. Currently just got the 12v 45lb thrust edge that came on the boat from the factory. We just set the boat up to spider rig and noticed last night the cable interferes a bit with the right rod holder as you let the motor down. Planning on keeping this boat in for the future just for crappie fishing and getting a fiberglass later on for bass fishing so not worried about spending some money on this boat. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Like I said, it probably won't be upgraded till next winter so I can save up some money after spending quite a bit for setting it up to spider rig. Thanks
