As of today Thursday 31 October 2024 this is still the only one water video explaining this remote. I have just bought this product in Australia almost 9000 miles or 14000 kilometres away. Minn Kota should be paying you thousand of dollars a month good sir! In fact the model I have does not even need the puck due to an increase in technology in the head unit somehow. So Mr Kota has released two version of 12v Terrova since the big angular chunky remote and I have to watch a guy in the Bayous (what the heck are Bayous anyway?) while sweating in hot tropical mangroves in the southern hemisphere Christmas season summer to see somebody using the new drift mode! Shame on Mr Kota but bravo to you sir.
Lol, thanks brother for your comment! A bayou is what we call saltwater or brackish water creeks in our marsh systems. You can see them named as such on Google maps in our area along the Alabama and Mississippi gulf coast. This trolling motor is still working flawlessly and in still using the original batteries in the remote! Thanks again “mate” from watching and commenting!
We have creeks, rivers and the big blue bit that goes around the outside. Your bayous look like the tidal influence never leaves you high and dry. If you tried to drive one of those big fan boats around our mangroves at a hundred miles an hour one day you’d come around a corner, the boat would stop and all its occupants would be deposited several hundred feet away.
Set you lock a course and use cruise control at the same time Point the bow toward a heading you want to stay on and set autopilot then use cruise to set at 1.1 MPH Thanks for the very informative video
@bayoubanditcharters I'm confused on the difference between Drift Mode and Locked Course. Is it just that in Drift Mode you can specify a MPH over ground and in Locked Course you can only control prop speed?
Had a blast Thursday night bow fishing. It was a pleasure finally meeting you like I said I felt like I already knew you lol. Todd and I are already talking about our next trip! As always.. Tight lines from Fowl River!
Just got my new terrova today. Have not installed it yet. Your video was a big help getting me ready to use it. Thank you very much for the demo. Very informative.
I just bought an advanced gps new head for my roller. And a new helix 7 g4n to go with it. Cant wait tell opener. I can't wait to test how big of a circle i can make in a small bay. And just try other stuff. Nice video.
Ive been using this minnkota in islamorada and all the features work very well. My only complaint is the weight of the remote. It feels like a brick hanging from my neck. The old remote was a lot lighter. Thanks for the video tutorial
I just got mine and am going to get it installed next Monday. I'm really excited about this motor. I haven't had a boat for 25 years when I lived in Florida. When I lived there, I bought a Minn Kota with Auto Pilot and LOVED it! When I got my boat here in South Alabama, I wanted to get another Auto Pilot one and found that it has come a long way!! I might not use every feature on this one, but I do look forward to learning it so I can try it out. Thanks for your video, it was very informative.
Great job!! Very simple and informative. However, the calibration of the TM and sensor has changed I think. I just did mine yesterday and the menu prompted me differently and the TM set it self and started making the circles on its own It works great. This is more simple than the last generation. Good fishing sir
Greetings from Michigan. Bought a Terrova with Advanced GPS on Friday. Installed it Saturday and tried it out today, Sunday. Thanks for the great info in this video which really helped me get things set up. I love this motor and the advanced GPS features!
Very simple and informative, thanks for the video. Will be taking my trolling motor out for the first time the fist week of April, can’t wait. Coming at you from Nj
Just bought one today and having it installed. Look forward to using it this weekend in Southern Louisiana. Saved me a lot of time reading the manual. Thanks for the great video.
I am trying out my new Terrova 80 tomorrow. Thank you for a great explanation on how to use the features. I use a Lowrance Elite 7 HD so I cant use all the features. but Spot Lock, Jog, and Cruise Control will make fishing so much easier for me. Thanks again! 👍
I just got one of these and had no idea about how to use all the controls. Your explanation was fantastic and really informative. Thanks for putting this out there!
Thanks man! St. Augustine sandman TH-cam here! Just got mine installed yesterday and this was very helpful! I’ll mention you in my videos when I install. Thanks again brother!
Finally, I got to play with the new Terrova today. Your video was rather handy as the instructions sent with motor were rather useless other than the remote instructions
You did a great job explaining the features and demonstrating the remote. If your in Drift Mode & want to Spot Lockor deviate the course, you can then resume a new course? I.e. fishing down a long bank.
This is a great video and thx for making it. I just purchased and installed the updated advanced GPS control head for my 2020 MK Ulterra TM. This will have the new advanced GPS, Drift Mode, etc like the new Ulterra Quest. So, I will need to pair both the remote and Heading Sensor with the new control head, correct?
Thanks for the video. I just got my Riptide Quest Instinct 87" installed on my offshore boat and need to test it out. I wasn't clear on how you set the desired speed for SOG. I will watch again to try and pick that up.
A big question that catfish anglers have is will it allow you to follow a track if the boat is moving backwards?? The “bumping” technique that we use to fish heavy current requires pointing the boat into the current and allowing the boat to drift backwards while using the trolling motor to slow yourself down to about half of the current speed. The old IPilot would not allow this because it would try and follow the track moving forward, against the current. The ability to actually follow a track for this technique would be a game changer!!!
I’m pretty sure it will let you do that. It asks you what direction you want to travel on the track (go to start of track, or go to end of track) so if you are heading up current with your speed set a little slower that the current, it should allow you to point upstream and slowly go backwards. Plus with cruise control you could dial in on the exact speed you want. Give Danny a call, he could tell you for sure. performancefishingelectronics.com/
Great video. Thanks so much for making it. It was so much help with set-up and using the different features. If I had your address I would send you a Christmas card. This is my first remote control trolling motor. I took it out for setup a couple days ago. After one trip I am so glad I got it. The difference between it and my old Minn Kota foot control is about like going from a Ford Pinto to a Cadillac. Your video had a lot to do with it. Thanks again brother. Do you guide?
Great video! I just had an 2024 Ulterra 72” put on my boat to replace a Terrova that I had. The salesman told me that the puck on my boat wouldn’t be used anymore because the gps is built into the head of the Ulterra. I’m confused now.
Great video. If you are pulling planner boards in 20 mph wind catfishing, which mode would you use so the boat does not sway as much in the rear causing the boards to get tangled. I may be trying to find a solution that is not there in terms of fighting the wind. It appears to be the locked course mode but I thought it is worth asking. So far I like the Ultrex quite a bit and the video is very helpful.
Excellent and informative video… thanks from a new subscriber. I just installed my new adv nav Terrova. I put the puck on the bow centerline. I did install next to motor. I know in the past this was frowned upon…
Great Video! I just bought my motor a week ago. This video was extremely helpful. Does the trollingmotor have to be deployed to use tracking mode? If your using the big motor for power during the track
Hello, love the review my only question is I thought the heading sensor is built into the unit? I can’t find anywhere that you need to use the puck. Please clarify for me before I purchase thanks!
To my understanding, the advanced GPS unit does have a heading sensor in the head unit. It comes with the puck in the box, which needs to be installed for more precise location acracy.
@@Dr4co6412 Don't know if you found your answer or not? I recently found out by downloading the "puck" manual. It stated inside the manual, that the Terrova QUEST model, "has an internal heading sensor built-in". Don't know if you have/going to purchase, a Quest model or not? Hope that helps...
I learned today that my Terrova 2024 Advanced GPS does not need a heading sensor like the one shown at 1:18. No wonder why I couldn't get it to pair with the trolling motor! It isn't supposed to have one!
Well mine came with the heading sensor in the box with the trolling motor. I followed the instructions provided with the trolling motor and paired the puck with no issues?
Love your vid, I subscribed! Like you said, there are no videos out on Advanced GPS and hardly any forums or websites with any info explaining the change from iPilot link. There is going to be a lot of confusion, I know I'm not going to be the only one. But the Minn Kota rep on the phone made me feel like an idiot. Had a hard time with the update, too... until I realized it's not iPilot link anymore. Such a weird thing. Guess the Riptide Terrova's still come with the heading sensor? The Minn Kota rep on the phone actually chuckled at me when I said my heading sensor was missing from the box. Told me it comes integrated with the head and it's no longer needed. All I need to do is the keel offset and all the features will activate.
Hey man just kinda curious. I just bought a new terrova and mine came with a heading sensor. Question is how did you find out that you didn't need it? Just don't want to install it without needing to.
@@midwayadam1 Hmm that is confusing. I'll post a link to the one I bought. I got the 36v/24v Terrova with side imaging. It didn't come with the white puck heading sensor so I called and complained. The rep asked if I was sure it wasn't there and I said I was sure... then they sent me one in the mail. Well, it wouldn't pair to my trolling motor no matter what I tried. Learned the iPilot updates didn't work because it is now called Advanced GPS. Those updates worked. Still wouldn't pair to the puck. SO, I called in again and the rep laughed and asked where I got the puck. Told me it isn't supposed to have one. I plan to take it out on the water tomorrow to test all the features and see how tight spot lock will keep me without having a puck.
@@joshuasmith2689 yeah I don't know I got a 24v terrova as far as I know it's mainly for spot lock jog feature. I was able to pair mine. Good luck buddy didn't mean to stir the pot and get you thinking. 😂
I purchased one the other day and installed it. Can’t wait to try it out and learn more about it. Question do you have to have hummingbird fishfinder to drift and follow Shoreline as you were speaking also Cruise?
Thanks for the video. I see that the power head direction indicator is not working properly (and didn't seem to be when you first mentioned it). What you referred to as the foot of the trolling motor on the screen. When you were in drift mode, at about 9:52 in the video, your motor is pointing forward but the power head direction indicator on your remote is pointing in the opposite direction. And, when you were showing the cruise control function. Tried my new powerdrive today. The actual trolling motor was pointing forward. The power head direction indicator kept going in circles. . . Sheese. And, would not calibrate for the keel offset, no way, no how. Called Minn-Kota and they seemed lost and want to send me the puck (that I really don't want to use, ad it only adds jog) to see if that will correct the issues. . . For $2,500 you'd think. . .
I'm having the exact same problem. MY TM is slightly offset on the port bow and I'm NOT using a puck. The image of the TM on my remote is not the same position as my actual TM.
What does th3 quick #2 button do? #1 is drift, #3 is record track. Also the button above the power button being One Boat Network, how does that function or work? This would be a good follow-up video
Wow, drift mode looks excellent. I am a walleye fisherman and trying to drift in goofy, variable winds is a nightmare. I just got mine mounted and will give it a trial on the water in a couple of days. Just to be sure - does drift mode require a hummin bird? The manual isn't too clear on what features need the depth finder. Thanks for the great video!
Press and hold for a couple of seconds until the light changes colors, then release the button on the puck which will put it in pair mode, then go to the trolling motor and press the pair button. they do not have to be pressed at the same exact time. The directions for pairing are in the manual.
For spot lock I am confused it says you can go left or right forward or backward which doesn't make any sense.... All them directions would be different depending on what direction you come into the same spotlock?? It would make more sense if it said that it would move north south east or west.
the new Advanced GPS Minn Kota Terrova what is the difference between using the phone app and the the bigger style of the advance GPS remote as far as functions go do you not get all functions with the phone vs the advance remote thank you.waiting to do a purchase as soon as i get a response
36v. I run Ionic lithium batteries so I can fish all day long, then run a 5 hour flounder gigging charter and still have about 40% battery left! The original Remote battery still says full charge
Actually they are pretty reasonable considering the 11 year warranty, maintenance free, twice the power of lead acid, fast charge times, and weighing only 30lb each. It’s definitely what I need for running my charter trips!
@@bayoubanditcharters wow 11 years that’s really good. I mostly troll, I have a 8 horse kicker on my tracker and I was thinking of getting that setup to help steer, use the kicker for speed and then the minn kota to steer .. you think it would be good for that ?
Where did you run your heading sensor to the battery directly or switch panel ? Wire is just so small getting it into a good connection on 5/16 O terminal
I guess I’m not sure on your question? Just in the direction you want to go and adjust your speed accordingly. If you want to go down wind or current, use drift mode, it will slow you down to the desired speed you want.
Very nice informative video, being new to this. I had the dealer install this when recently purchasing my boat and have yet to slash it (right around the corner). Only 1/3rd into the Terrova manual, after viewing this video I now feel I have gained most of the info I need, except a couple things. I have the Terrova Quest with Chirp model: 1. I don't think mine came with a "puck" is that an option? And is it a "must have" option to be accurate with navigating? I don't remember the Dealer showing me this nor does it look like it was listed as "contents within package" inside my manual. 2. If you're Vertical jigging in a strong current river trying to keep your fishing line straight going with the current. Is it better to experiment with "Cruise control" or "Drift"? And if you chose Drift, do you point to landmark upstream or downstream? Thanks for the taking time to produce this video.
Thanks brother! Mine came with the puck in the box, so I'm not sure with the different models? I would use Drift mode pointed upstream and set your speed over ground to the desired drift you want. Drift mode combines auto-pilot and cruise control into one mode.
@@bayoubanditcharters Thanks, yeah I ended up looking at the "puck" manual online it stated, "*Not applicable with QUEST series trolling motors which feature an internal heading sensor." Being I have a Quest model that solves my mystery; Thanks again.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Powerdrive Advanced GPS. Is there any advantage to simply getting the micro remote and using either the One Boat or the Minn Kota app to use some of the advanced features? Or should I just pay for the advanced remote and get it over with? Very informative video and perfectly explained. I;ll be visiting more often....

You're not wrong about nobody else having a video about this new model lol. Thank you for making one. Solid video and demonstration. I'll subscribe
Thanks brother, I appreciate it and hope it helps!
Set you lock a course and use cruise control at the same time
Point the bow toward a heading you want to stay on and set autopilot then use cruise to set at 1.1 MPH

@bayoubanditcharters I'm confused on the difference between Drift Mode and Locked Course. Is it just that in Drift Mode you can specify a MPH over ground and in Locked Course you can only control prop speed?
Yes. Drift mode does both! So if you’re fishing with a strong tail wind, drift mode will slow your boat down and steer.

It is a little on the heavy side, but I use it on my belt loop so I don’t notice it. On the bright side the batteries last forever!
Thank you for sharing this video so little content about the advance GPS

Appreciate it brother, you’re going to love it!
That was a great help to me setting up new motor today, much easier watching your video while on the boat, cheers .
Thanks for your comment brother! Always happy to help!
Just bought one today and having it installed. Look forward to using it this weekend in Southern Louisiana. Saved me a lot of time reading the manual. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks brother, you will love it!
Just got a new terrvona thanks for the video
Awesome, happy to help!
Thank God, someone who actually explains everything.
lol, I try
Great video brother! The only man on youtube to explain how to use this motor. Greetings from Ireland, Happy Christmas
Thanks brother, I definitely appreciate your comment and Merry Christmas to you as well!
I am trying out my new Terrova 80 tomorrow. Thank you for a great explanation on how to use the features. I use a Lowrance Elite 7 HD so I cant use all the features. but Spot Lock, Jog, and Cruise Control will make fishing so much easier for me. Thanks again! 👍

Thanks. I am installing new terrova now. I have all garmin graphs.
Heck yeah, you’re going to love it!
Thanks, I am fixing to buy one for my new G3 Jon Boat.
You will love it brother, mine has been flawless! I have a one year review video dropping soon!
Great video! Paired trolling motor and puck right on the water since I forget the instructions in my truck lol
Thanks brother, happy to help!
Thanks for the good info. just bought a new terrova last week.
Yes sir! You’re going to love it!

Heck yeah, thanks brother!
Bayou great video Bro! You just saved me a lot of time and a headache. Thanks from SE Georgia JT
Yes sir! Happy to help!
Excellent, thank you. Just installed a new 2024 Terrova. Will use this on the water to test it out.
Yes sir! Happy to help brother!
Installed my ulterra quest and your video helped speed up the learning process on the controls, thanks for the video ! From ontario canada!
Heck yeah, thanks for your comment brother!
Thanks for the video, you did a really good job explaining all the features.
Thanks brother, I did the best I could, lol!
Thanks!
Heck yeah! Defiantly appreciate it brother!
thanks from the blackforest germany ... i will get the engine next week. .the black one . now i know how it works. great
Awesome brother!
Finally, I got to play with the new Terrova today.
Your video was rather handy as the instructions sent with motor were rather useless other than the remote instructions
Heck yeah, thanks!
I am sold, thanks!!! I just ordered the whole system.
Awesome!
Great! I think I might actually be able to operate my trolling motor now.
Lol, happy to help brother!
Just bought one, good info man thanks! Looking forward to using it for walleye fishing!
Heck yeah! Thanks brother, you’re going to love it!
You should do a video on manually stowing a ulterra Quest. Thanks for the awesome explanation video.
literally the video i was looking for. thank you!
Yes sir!
You did a great job explaining the features and demonstrating the remote. If your in Drift Mode & want to Spot Lockor deviate the course, you can then resume a new course? I.e. fishing down a long bank.
Yes, thanks!
Awesome video thank you dude. From the uk.
Thanks brother! Happy to help!
That looks like a nice unit but as old as I'm getting , I can hardly operate my Tv remote lol . Best of luck with the new motor .
Lol, I can understand that. I took a little getting used to it, but I love it so far.
Nicely done! Much appreciate the tutorial.
Thanks brother, happy to help!
Great Video - Thanks dude - I just received my new Riptide Terrova Quest Down Under and can't wait to try these new features 🤘🤘
Heck yeah, you’re going to love it brother!

Thank you just bought one and this video helped me out a lot
Happy to help brother!
Drift mode and lock course seem to do the same thing? Great video and very informative.
Drift mode combines auto pilot and cruise control into one! You can set your target speed as well as your heading
Great info. I have that setup and this was invaluable. Thanks!
Happy to help, thanks!
Very informative! Easy to understand.

You can use it without the puck. The puck helps with drift mode to give another reference point for boat angle and position
Good Video. You didnt mention what pound thrust you have? Thanks
Sorry about that, 36v-112
Very good video explain operation and calibration very well, good job thank you
Yes sir! Thanks for your comment!
Minn Kota should buy and link this video.
Lol, thanks brother! Just a Southern boy trying to explain new electronics, lol! Hope it helps!
Now you need to have a video on how to pair your phone and for the use of the phone with the motor when you don't have a hummingbird to hook up to it

It’s pretty cool brother!

Heck yeah! Drift mode is my favorite!
Excellent and informative video… thanks from a new subscriber. I just installed my new adv nav Terrova. I put the puck on the bow centerline. I did install next to motor. I know in the past this was frowned upon…
Thanks brother! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been enjoying mine!
Isn't the heading sensor now built in? Thank you
Yes it is. The puck gives a second GPS position for drift mode so the system knows the orientation of the boat.

Still wouldn't pair to the puck. SO, I called in again and the rep laughed and asked where I got the puck. Told me it isn't supposed to have one. I plan to take it out on the water tomorrow to test all the features and see how tight spot lock will keep me without having a puck.
@@joshuasmith2689 yeah I don't know I got a 24v terrova as far as I know it's mainly for spot lock jog feature. I was able to pair mine. Good luck buddy didn't mean to stir the pot and get you thinking. 😂
I purchased one the other day and installed it. Can’t wait to try it out and learn more about it. Question do you have to have hummingbird fishfinder to drift and follow Shoreline as you were speaking also Cruise?
No, I only have the remote and all functions work fine!
To drift down stream (slower than the current) with the bow pointed upstream…..what is the best setup? Thanks for your help! Great video.
Drift mode for sure!
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks, happy to help!
Thanks for the video. I see that the power head direction indicator is not working properly (and didn't seem to be when you first mentioned it). What you referred to as the foot of the trolling motor on the screen. When you were in drift mode, at about 9:52 in the video, your motor is pointing forward but the power head direction indicator on your remote is pointing in the opposite direction. And, when you were showing the cruise control function. Tried my new powerdrive today. The actual trolling motor was pointing forward. The power head direction indicator kept going in circles. . . Sheese. And, would not calibrate for the keel offset, no way, no how. Called Minn-Kota and they seemed lost and want to send me the puck (that I really don't want to use, ad it only adds jog) to see if that will correct the issues. . . For $2,500 you'd think. . .
I'm having the exact same problem. MY TM is slightly offset on the port bow and I'm NOT using a puck. The image of the TM on my remote is not the same position as my actual TM.
What does th3 quick #2 button do? #1 is drift, #3 is record track. Also the button above the power button being One Boat Network, how does that function or work? This would be a good follow-up video
#2 button pulls up all of your saved tracks and waypoints
New sub here. Very informative and helpful. Thank You
Thanks brother!
Love this channel!!
Thanks brother!
Wow, drift mode looks excellent. I am a walleye fisherman and trying to drift in goofy, variable winds is a nightmare. I just got mine mounted and will give it a trial on the water in a couple of days. Just to be sure - does drift mode require a hummin bird? The manual isn't too clear on what features need the depth finder. Thanks for the great video!
No hummin bird required
Thanks!
Is this unit connected to your fish finder? Or is this all possible without networking it to your fishfinder?
Mine is not, but you can hook it up to a Hummingbird
What other features are available if u link it to your fishfinder? A lot more or pretty much the same?@@bayoubanditcharters
How do I press the puck button and hold it AND go to my trolling motor if they are not next to each other? Thanks for the help.
Press and hold for a couple of seconds until the light changes colors, then release the button on the puck which will put it in pair mode, then go to the trolling motor and press the pair button. they do not have to be pressed at the same exact time. The directions for pairing are in the manual.
@@bayoubanditcharters Thank you
For spot lock I am confused it says you can go left or right forward or backward which doesn't make any sense.... All them directions would be different depending on what direction you come into the same spotlock?? It would make more sense if it said that it would move north south east or west.
Do I have to have the puck device with my new quest?
Everything I’m reading is saying you only need it for jog mode
Please advise
You can use it without the puck, but it helps with drift mode and jog
the new Advanced GPS Minn Kota Terrova what is the difference between using the phone app and the the bigger style of the advance GPS remote as far as functions go do you not get all functions with the phone vs the advance remote thank you.waiting to do a purchase as soon as i get a response
I have not used the phone app yet, only the remote that comes with the trolling motor.
Awesome video
Thanks! Happy to help!
Is it possible to use auto pilot and cruise control at the same time? My very old Motor Guide allows it.
Yes, I do that quite a bit.
Thanks, great video!
Yes sir! Definitely appreciate your comment, thanks!
Im about to purchase a trolling motor. I'm torn between a Rhodan and a Terrova. Still like your new Minn Kota? Would you still recommend it?
Absolutely love it!
Thanks, I'm about to pull the trigger!
Love this trolling motor! Used it today and it was outstanding!
How long does the battery last ? And what volt do you use .. awesome vid
36v. I run Ionic lithium batteries so I can fish all day long, then run a 5 hour flounder gigging charter and still have about 40% battery left! The original Remote battery still says full charge
@@bayoubanditcharters that’s awesome .. damn expensive battery !
Actually they are pretty reasonable considering the 11 year warranty, maintenance free, twice the power of lead acid, fast charge times, and weighing only 30lb each. It’s definitely what I need for running my charter trips!
@@bayoubanditcharters wow 11 years that’s really good. I mostly troll, I have a 8 horse kicker on my tracker and I was thinking of getting that setup to help steer, use the kicker for speed and then the minn kota to steer .. you think it would be good for that ?
Where did you run your heading sensor to the battery directly or switch panel ?
Wire is just so small getting it into a good connection on 5/16 O terminal
I ran it to a terminal on my fuse block
Thanks for the information
That’s why it’s recorded lmao
Yes sir!
Cheers from Australia
Cheers brother!
i got a question where do you point the bow of the boat when its wind against tide
I guess I’m not sure on your question? Just in the direction you want to go and adjust your speed accordingly. If you want to go down wind or current, use drift mode, it will slow you down to the desired speed you want.
Is there no jump to highest speed “rabbit” feature?
Not to my knowledge, but it might be possible to assign one of the buttons to do that in the settings?
Do i have to re-calibrated and sink the heading senor up everytime it powers back up?
No. Only if I use drift mode, which I seldom use.
Do you have to sink the head everytime or just initially? I am setting mine up tomorrow for the first time. Great video.
Just once
Great thank you.
How difficult is it to stow and deploy?😊
Not bad at all!
Thanks for sharing!! How do you attach the lanyard?
It has a belt loop clip or one that goes around your neck.
Very nice informative video, being new to this. I had the dealer install this when recently purchasing my boat and have yet to slash it (right around the corner). Only 1/3rd into the Terrova manual, after viewing this video I now feel I have gained most of the info I need, except a couple things.
I have the Terrova Quest with Chirp model:
1. I don't think mine came with a "puck" is that an option? And is it a "must have" option to be accurate with navigating? I don't remember the Dealer showing me this nor does it look like it was listed as "contents within package" inside my manual.
2. If you're Vertical jigging in a strong current river trying to keep your fishing line straight going with the current. Is it better to experiment with "Cruise control" or "Drift"? And if you chose Drift, do you point to landmark upstream or downstream?
Thanks for the taking time to produce this video.
Thanks brother! Mine came with the puck in the box, so I'm not sure with the different models? I would use Drift mode pointed upstream and set your speed over ground to the desired drift you want. Drift mode combines auto-pilot and cruise control into one mode.
@@bayoubanditcharters Thanks, yeah I ended up looking at the "puck" manual online it stated,
"*Not applicable with QUEST series trolling motors which feature an internal heading sensor."
Being I have a Quest model that solves my mystery; Thanks again.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Powerdrive Advanced GPS. Is there any advantage to simply getting the micro remote and using either the One Boat or the Minn Kota app to use some of the advanced features? Or should I just pay for the advanced remote and get it over with?
Very informative video and perfectly explained. I;ll be visiting more often....
The remote came standard with mine
@@bayoubanditcharters Thank you for your quick reply. Is there any advantage to that remote vs. the micro.
Like button smashed.
Very helpful thank you!!!
Happy to help brother!
How to be sure if I go in store to buy a terrova 2024 it will be a 2024 the saleman will give me, and not a old 2023 with no new feature
The Advanced GPS just came out in 2024. Give my guy a call, he’ll treat you right!
Does it require you to have the heading puck to do the Is calibrating
Ther puck comes in the box with the trolling motor.
