Terrova Quickmount Question

[MXHalofan]

Looked on ebay and there's two different ones. Which one do you guys prefer?

This one has more features

I'm looking to just get the TM off the boat and in the truck.

 

Also I installed the terrova with an isolator bolt kit. Seemed to work good last night. I am wondering if many folks who install these 80lb TM's on pontoon bows eventually brace the mounting area of the bow. My wood is pretty dried out up there.

 

Really liked the TM.

I've got the first one. There's just a thumbscrew for taking it on and off

I've got the second one.  Piece of cake to get it on and off.  It also has a set-up where you can use a padlock to keep the motor attached to the boat.  That's what I use the majority of the time.

I use the MKA-47 since I need to move it out of the way when it's in place. I can slide it off all the way too.

That sounds good. I could use the extra sliding ability. My TM is right in the way of the dock and can't park on that side the way it's setup now. I think I'm going to go with the cheap one for now though. Just got done dropping big money on the setup and getting married this weekend.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

I do as well, and use it on my MinnKota v2 70 lb thrust.  I like it a lot.

Bought that one. Should have it mounted later this week. Going to try and fish two nights without working on the boat. Starter went out on me Wed night when I had my uncle out there and loaded up. Missed a really good night of fishing from the tourny weigh in I was around to watch.
