I have a 2008 80lb and absolutely love it. However, i have had troubles with the pedal. The large part that ressembles a cable drive footpedal has been an issue for me. I love this feature, however, pushing up on the pedal (turn right) semingly only works when it pleases (and now doesnt at all). It had been an issue since day one so i am guessing that it is this specific motor/pedal and not the model. Over all though i am extremely pleased with the rest of the motor.
August 28, 2008 at 5:09 am #708336the only prob that I have seen is loose screws that hold the release mechanism on for when its in the up position
If you have one of these motors check the 2 screws that thread into the aluminium plates through the little c shaped pieces in the front that hold the lower part of the motor when in the up position, you have to take the side plates off to do this, so do it on land because if they are loose then the only thing holding them on is the plastic side plates it’s kind of a pain in the but better than having parts fall off when running from spot to spot.Minn Kota could have used some Loc-tite on this one
Other than that it’s a great motor and the remote is great when pulling cranks
August 28, 2008 at 5:21 am #708337I don’t have the Terrova, I have a Maxxim but it has the US2 and I am having trouble with it. Several other people have also just do a search. The footage reading on my fish finder seems to jump from to deep to shallow, some days it will jump from 8 to 25 feet others it might jump from 14 to 44. It seems to be in the trolling motor, if I put my 787 on the other head it works fine but when I put it back on the US2 head it goes haywire.
Like I said it is a Maxxim and your US2 wireing might be different
Good luck
August 28, 2008 at 7:33 am #708339I have the exact motor you are looking at. I love it no problems and have had it for over a year now
toothycrittersPosts: 253August 28, 2008 at 1:48 pm #708369Iam having the same issue with mine. Pushing the toe of the heel/toe steering doesn’t always respond. Luckily there are right/left arrows and I have the co-pilot. Everything else works.Had an appointment to get it looked at and the guy wasn’t there…
August 28, 2008 at 2:40 pm #708388Footpedals & Minnkota have had there moments no doubt.
With that said, the performance & ease of use of the Terrova vs th PD models is flat out much improved in my opinion.
August 28, 2008 at 3:09 pm #708404I have the Terrova and like it overall. Need to keep the sand and dirt out of the pedal (easily cleaned), and the foot release on the mount is a bit finicky (sticky, does not always like to release easily). Other than that, I like it!
February 2, 2012 at 11:03 pm #204302Used a good dry rub. “Wild Thang” smoked them for 4 hours at 220 degrees then added BBQ sauce for 1 more hour. these things turned out awesome! the new Bradley smoker is everything they said it would be
February 2, 2012 at 11:29 pm #118294Well I had nothing better to do on my day off so I put the ribs in the smoker and went shed hunting for about an hour and a half and came up empty handed!! Changed out some camera cards and saw a few good bucks on the pictures. Next I’ll be tilling up food plots and Bob will take all the credit!!! All in a good days work for me! The ribs turned out AWESOME, by the way!! What can I say, when your good, your good!!
February 3, 2012 at 1:08 pm #118302It’s nice to see you are finally getting her trained. Should allow you more time to hunt.
Looks YUMMY!
February 3, 2012 at 1:23 pm #118303So when you both say you can’t cook… You have been lying to me? Looks like I could make a mess out of my face on those! Nice job Michelle !
