Newest Minn Kota motor!

[Technonorb]

Looks like a nice motor. Went to Bass Pro Shop yesterday and the guy spoke about this motor but didnt know anything about it. I have Lowrance electronics and evidently Minkota only interacts with Hummingbird and Motorguide interacts with Lowrance. Motorguide has a small selection as in 1, for this type of motor and the BP rep. I talked with wasn't a fan at all of Motorguide. Still stumped!!

I don't think this motor is the answer for what you are looking for. I would put a wait and see on this motor anyway. This isn't the first time they have tried the auto deploy and we have some members here that can tell you first hand that the previous version was a disaster.

I won't speak badly of the Motorguide version because I do not know anything first hand. Historically, Minn Kotas are much more quiet than Motorguides and that is extremely important when stripers are surface to 20.

Being able to interface with the depth finder would be cool, but I can only think of a few times it would come in handy. In those cases, the Minnkota ipilot already has a feature that would allow you to retrace a previous path so it would probably be easier to do it there than at the depth finder.

All in all, I think the Terrovo with the ipilot is still your best choice. I just wanted to make sure you had as much info as possible. I would also recommend adding the MKA-21 Quick Release Bracket.
