Minn Kota Terrova 55/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 12V-55lb-54"
Minn Kota Terrova 55/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 12V-55lb-54" — Product description
Master Your Fishing Spots with Precision GPS Control
Imagine anchoring your boat exactly where the fish are biting, without ever touching the motor pedal. That's the game-changing power of the i-Pilot GPS system in this Terrova model. Spot-Lock holds your position with pinpoint accuracy, even against wind and current, letting you focus on casting lines instead of drifting. Anglers swear by this feature on multi-day trips, where maintaining that prime spot means more keepers in the livewell.
Bluetooth connectivity takes it further—pair it with your smartphone for on-the-fly adjustments, software updates, and jog functions to nudge your position by just five feet. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow bays or walleye on deep structure, this setup turns reactive fishing into proactive domination.
Effortless Stow and Deploy for All-Day Comfort
No more wrestling with heavy gear at dawn or dusk. The Lift-Assist design uses a spring-loaded mount to lift the motor's weight, making stowing feel like a breeze. Pair that with the redesigned lever for one-handed operation, and you're back underway in seconds. This is especially clutch on smaller crafts where space is tight, or when solo anglers need to multitask.
- Quicker transitions between trolling and trailering
- Reduces physical strain during long outings
- Stays secure even on choppy waters
Clean Sonar Setup Without the Clutter
Universal Sonar 2 runs your transducer wiring straight through the shaft, keeping your deck tidy and protected. Shielded connectors mean reliable signals for your fish finder, spotting structure and schools without false reads from interference. It's a seamless match for popular electronics, giving you cleaner arches and better bottom detail right out of the box.
Pro tip: Mount it forward on the bow for optimal downward views, and calibrate with your unit for hyper-accurate depth readings in varied water clarity.
Stealthy Power That Outlasts the Competition
With 55 pounds of thrust on a 12V battery, this motor handles boats up to 18 feet effortlessly, sipping power thanks to Digital Maximizer tech—up to five times longer runtime per charge. The updated steering motor runs whisper-quiet, so skittish panfish or spooky crappies never hear you coming.
Weedless Wedge 2 prop powers through vegetation without bogging down, while the indestructible composite shaft flexes on rocks but never snaps. Lifetime guarantee on that shaft? It's Minn Kota confidence in action.
Intuitive Controls for Every Angler
The low-profile foot pedal offers heel-toe precision or button steering, with a dedicated Spot-Lock button for instant activation. Add the wireless remote and heading sensor, and you've got command from anywhere on deck. Push-to-test battery meter keeps surprises at bay, showing real-time charge so you never cut a trip short.

Quieter Steering Motor
These Terrova's have a completely updated motor design - engineered to run quieter than ever before. So fish won't be spooked, but you might be.
i-Pilot w/New Phone App
Boat positioning becomes automatic with the redesigned, GPS-powered i-Pilot system. i-Pilot lets you set Spot-Locks, record paths, control speed and steering, and more. i-Pilot system features reinvented Spot-Lock - the most accurate electronic GPS anchor ever - and have redesigned remotes with largerscreens, more options, and Bluetooth technology, so you can connect to your smartphone for quick control of basic functions and easy software updates.

Advantage Minn Kota
Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why we're confident enough to guarantee it for life.
Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.
2-Year Warranty
This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.

The Minn Kota Terrova tow motor has many features, such as a balanced motor design, a telescopic and unfolding pole that can be easily stored, and a main disconnect switch that automatically turns off the motor during storage. The foot pedal can provide high responsiveness and precise control at any position on the boat, while the steering resolution is less than 1 degree, and the digital maximizer only consumes the power you need, so energy can be saved to provide longer running time. The most technologically advanced motor can also withstand 112 pounds of thrust. It starts with a simple telescopic rod, fast response control and powerful power. And when you add options like i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link or Universal Sonar 2, Terrova can take you anywhere.
