Trolling motor upgrade

[Matt Wirth]

I am looking for a new trolling motor for my 1999.Nitro 640 and am trying to decide between the Maxxum, Fortrex, and the Terrova. Cost aside, what are the pros and cons of each? Is the iPilot feature on the Terrova worth the extra $$$? Any feedback would be appreciated!

Fortrex. I've used (and really enjoyed) Maxxum's for a great many years. My Fortex is basically the same motor with an improved mount, which I didn't think possible until I bought one. I'm not a fan of electric steer motors as I find them too slow to turn. I like instant response, so I stick with cable steer. For that reason, Terrova isn't even in the running (for me - I know many that do enjoy using them)

All the best,

Glenn
