Win55 Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 I am considering putting a Minn Kota Terrova with iPilot/SpotLock on my Pathfinder 1806 with 90 Yamaha 4 stroke. Can I get by with a 12V 55lb thrust or do I need to go with an 80lb? I mostly fish in the flats around Big Bend area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBGNole Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hi Win. I would not go with less than a 24 volt 80Lb Ipilot. I believe the 12v will be a disappointment in power and battery run time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured my boat loaded down with two people and gear is near 2,700 lbs. I am going with the 80 like you suggested instead of the 55. The console is so small on this boat I really wanted just one battery for TM but I can make it happen. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yes go with your gut, get the 80lb thrust. I have a 24 volt on my 16 Redfisher! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
