New Minn Kota Terrova Kayak Motor

[RLinNH]

Well, I'm done. First it was the Motor Guide Kayak Motor. That really sold me. A Kayak Motor with Spot Lock. But, I'm not a Motor Guide guy. Then they stopped making that trolling motor. Well, Minn Kota is now taking a swing. And this here, this is the one for me. I have been going back and forth on either a fish finder or a motor on my PA14. I'm pulling the trigger on this motor before Minn Kota changes their mind...😅

There are a lot of great features with this new motor. There are also a couple of things I noticed:

 

1. It comes with their Weedless Wedge prop. It does work well in weeds, but it provides lower speeds than the standard prop.

 

2. It weighs 41 pounds. That’s a lot of weight on the nose. A lot of kayaks may have trouble handling that.

 

There are a lot of intriguing options out there with new kayaks and motors. I’m tempted, but I think I will stick with my AP 120.

The weedless wedge on the terrova is a bigger total prop than the one for the AP.  And it’s 55# thrust.  I think it will be much of a wash speed wise.  I said it in another thread, but this is basically a 55# terrova with a cut down shaft. And the terrovas are great motors.
