Discover the Power and Precision of the Terrova 55 with i-Pilot
Anglers who demand reliable performance on the water swear by the Terrova 55. This 12-volt powerhouse delivers 55 pounds of thrust through a 54-inch shaft, perfect for freshwater setups on bass boats, pontoons, or jon boats up to 18 feet. What sets it apart? The integration of i-Pilot GPS technology paired with Bluetooth connectivity, turning complex navigation into effortless fishing time. Imagine holding your position over a hot bite without constantly adjusting—Spot-Lock does that for you, accurate to within a few feet even in wind or current.
Remanufactured to meet original standards, this motor undergoes rigorous testing for like-new operation, giving you premium features at a value price point. It's not just about power; it's engineered for stealthy, smooth control that keeps fish unaware and you focused on the catch.
Effortless Stow and Deploy with Lift-Assist
Stowing a trolling motor after a long day shouldn't feel like a workout. The Terrova's updated Lift-Assist mechanism takes the load off your arms and back, making deployment as simple as a quick lever push—by hand or foot. This redesign means less hassle transitioning from trolling to trailering, so you spend more time fishing and less fighting gear.
Paired with the low-profile foot pedal, steering feels intuitive. Heel-toe or point-and-go, it offers pinpoint precision with sub-one-degree resolution. The added Spot-Lock button right on the pedal lets you anchor instantly without reaching for the remote.
i-Pilot Bluetooth: Your Boat's New Brain
The real game-changer is i-Pilot with Bluetooth. Download the app to your phone for wireless control—set waypoints, record custom paths for repeat runs, or tweak speeds on the fly. Spot-Lock evolves with auto-adjust for drift, while AutoPilot maintains your heading hands-free.
Universal Sonar 2 compatibility means seamless integration with fish finders for live readings without extra transducers. A push-button battery meter keeps you informed, preventing unexpected power drops mid-fight with a trophy fish.
Tips for Maximizing Your Terrova's Lifespan
To keep this motor humming season after season:
- Rinse freshwater after saltwater use (though optimized for fresh) to protect electronics.
- Store fully stowed with the shaft vertical to avoid bends.
- Monitor amp draw (up to 50A at full throttle) with a quality 100Ah deep-cycle battery or dual setup for all-day power.
- Update i-Pilot firmware via Bluetooth for the latest features like enhanced cruise control.
- Inspect the prop regularly; the Weedless design handles most snags, but clear heavy debris promptly.
Backed by a one-year warranty, it's ready for adventure right out of the box.
Why Go Remanufactured? Smart Savings Without Compromise
Remanufactured Terrovas are factory-refurbished: motors disassembled, worn parts replaced, and fully tested to exceed new-unit specs. You get the same durable build and cutting-edge tech as a fresh model, often at a fraction of the cost. Perfect for upgrading your rig or replacing a battle-worn unit without breaking the bank.
