[QUOTE="richz, post: 441689, member: 22141"] I have a Minn Kota 55AT trolling motor on a Lowe 170W. I fish the Kankakee River in Indiana. I basically drift down river and use the trolling motor to keep me a certain distance from the shore. Speed 4 usually works, but if I get hung up or want to hit the area again going to speed 5 only lets me gain slightly on the current. I was thinking about going to Minn Kota Terrova 24 volt. When I get a lure hung up by shore I have got the 55AT into some nasty logs and have watched the shaft bend. This motor can take some abuse. The terrova uses electric steering and I am wondering if this type of motor can take the same kind of abuse. [/QUOTE]
