[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 507545, member: 32426"] I’ll add a vote of BS as well. A Terrova 24V/80 moves my Crestliner 1750 around with authority. I’ve never wished that I had less thrust. Heck, I’m even planning to use an 80 on the little 1448M. It’s probably a good call to delete the transducer if you are getting the iPilot link. The coiled cord coming off the head will tolerate one extra cable routed inside of the coil but, it tends to bind up with two cables inside of the coil. It’s a MK Mickie Mouse approach for cable routing in my opinion. Also, the transducer and Ethernet cables coming off the MK are a few feet longer than necessary. This creates a bit of mess. If I were to do it all over again I’d go with Lowrance and Powerguide. The menu is more intuitive and there are useful features for TM control like zigzag and lazy-S. Unfortunately, now that I have two Terrovas and a bucket full of Humminbirds I’m stuck. It’s like cordless power tools, once you get a pile of Dewalt batteries, for example, it’s expensive to shift to a different brand. If you are not already heavily invested in HB and MK then shop around. Learn what the competition has to offer. [/QUOTE]
