[QUOTE="shorthairsrus, post: 202547, member: 219"] I would get the trolling motor that is the same brand as your other electronics. If your using garmin etc - then i think its a toss up - i have owned them both over the years; the one that lasted the longest for me was motor guide. My brother has had several problems with his minn kota terrova - he has exchanged 2 of them and is on his third and he doesnt put no where near the hours i put on mine (i dont have a kicker). I have had no issues with the terrova that i have currrently. It does have inference with electronics on the bow. I worked on that over and over and finally solved it. I bring it in during the winter and i use 29s for batteries and i keep em nice and fresh and charged. My spot lock works fine too and i am sure mine was one of the first generation models. 2 Batteries - when i had a 16footer - i put a batter over in a side box and ran the wire up. Just make sure you have thick enough wire - review the amps used and length of cord and do the computation to make sure it is adequate. I would strongly advise you get a 24vlt system as you will be so much more happy with how long your battery lasts and to have that additional power. Good fishing short [/QUOTE]
