Reply To: Trolling motor

Another Riptide Terrova user here. Nothing but great things to say. A few pointers:

I’d go as big as your boat will allow. They offer a 60″ shaft at 12V (55lb thrust). Do not do this.

I’d go 24V minium, and do some math using your boat specs (bow height, weight capacity) to decide if you can handle 36V and shaft length options.

Also, always pack spare batteries for your remote & a small screwdriver. We are all good about charging the trolling batteries, but that is useless if you don’t have power to your remote. As Devin says, “ask me how I know”
