Well sort of.........
Just got my Minn-Kota Riptide Terova repaired for the fourth time and I am ready to hit the delta for some Top Water action.........
now the only problem is this darn thing I aquired about a week ago, I think some people call them "JOB's" I have other words for it this time of year.
I can get off around 2:30-3pm and leave sac. for the little place I would like to call home this time of year.
If any one is interested in some evening Line side blow ups just shoot me a note and we'll hook-up and go get the toilet to flush,,,,,

How bout I take your boat down early and get it ready for you, so you can just come straight down after work? Think of all the time you would save and could fish longer!

Just ask any one who doesn't make a % when they are sold.....

The TEROVA
Worst motor Minn-Kota has ever made.........

Nothing but trouble with the key fobs and the nav. sys. in the auto pilot.

the shaft on the replacement (yes replacement) motor they sent me was not sealed correctly and the lower unit burned up....

also the wires (main power) shorted in side the head while fishing and the whole thing started smoking..........
I fixed that my self........

If you have a motor with 1000 hrs on it say with her......
just order new seals and new brushes less than $40 and put them in.... it is real easy....you can do it in about 1hour from start to finish while drinking a 6-pack...........

OH yea the foot pedal for my terova has been replaced twice with in the 2 1/2 years I have had it...... they are not serviceable.........
good news now is you don't always have to wait for back order parts up to 5 weeks..........

Trust me stick with the V2 model if you are going to rely on it......
if you get a terova you better get two.......

If you need more details on how the trova is junk
just give me a call
I can't put to much more in print.......
