Trolling motor decision

[zarogers1]

Hey guys I need help picking a trolling motor it will be for bass fishing and some trolling I prefer the terrova pedal but being able to set routes with the ProNav. Anyone have experience with either

I've had both Powerdrive and Terrovas in the past, between those two alone the choice is easily the Terrova. The deploy/stow mechanism on the PD models was clunky and awkward to use, plus more power and longer shaft lengths on Terrova models made it a no brainer. I've got no experience with ProNav and honestly never heard of it before seeing this, but I can't imagine there is much it can do that the ipilot can't so Terrova with ipilot would be my choice.

I have a garmin so that limits some of the functions you can use with i-Pilot

I own a 12V and a 24V Terrova and am very happy with them........ the main functions I use are spotlock, and "autopilot"....... and their wonderful in those applications, but I've never used a route function.

Aren't all of the ipilot functions done thru the remote? I thought you need the ipilot Link version in order to connect to your Humminbird sonar to gain the additional functions.

I could be wrong

Choosing a suitable trolling motor is crucial for fishing. The Terrova pedal is user-friendly, but if route-setting is a priority, the ProNav might be the way to go. It depends on your fishing style. I've heard good things about both, so go with what suits your needs best. If you can't decide, use a dice roller to make the decision. Tight lines and happy fishing!

You can set a route with the Terrova

I think you can do what your looking for with the Minn Kota Terrova with Ipilot Link.  Just the ipilot wont allow you to connect to hummingbirds units like the Link would to route. IMO I would stay with the Link. Looks to be a similar cost buying the Terrova with the link as if you purchased the ipilot with the pro nav.

looks like this post was over a year ago. I would think he made a decision by now.
