bow mount ipilot electric motor
#17
[quote TheFishSlayer]I would absolutely get the 80lb thrust. I have a 17ft fiberglass trophy. My boat came with the 55lb thrust powerdrive. I added the ipilot head to it. It works ok but definitely lacks in the power I need. It can only pull the boat at 1.5 mph and cannot deal with the wind very well due to the lack of thrust.[/quote]

With the Terrova 80 I can hit the low 3mph mark (3.3mph max) using 2 group 31 AGM batteries in my 17ft aluminum Tracker 175 walk through.

My boat calls for a 54" shaft TM. I purchased the 60" since they don't make a 24v 54" shaft unit back in late 2011. After about a years use and knowing what I really needed for sure I cut the shaft down to 54". Perfect for my situation.
