Location: Manitowoc, WI | I have a 36v 60" Minn Kota Terrova with I-Pilot on my Lund Baron Magnum. Unfortunately the motor does not sit far enough into the water to perform at it's peak. How hard is it to lengthen the trolling motor shaft from 60" to 80"? Does anyone know a business or someone who does this? |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Jim. Maybe you can call minnkota direct and get them to cut a 80" shaft. I am sure who ever makes the shafts for them makes them in long sticks and cuts them to length. Maybe the guys in the shop are the ones to talk to instead of the sales guys who only know how to read prices off a list, DOH!!! LOL |

| Even if they would sell you something it would probably void any type of warranty because the extended length may cause to much additional stress on the gear box, mount, or even the composite shaft itself.
Like Denny said though, never hurts to ask. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | No, I am not a jigger, but I was hoping to use it to pull spinners. That boat is a tank...inside a tank!!! It's huge and it's the perfect trolling machine!! I'll make due with the T8 and put a Trollmaster on it.
I've got a great deal on a barely used Terrova with I-Pilot if anyone wants one!!! |

| Jerry put a EM on the big motor I love mine for pulling spinners over here on the Bay or the Lake. Let me know how much you want for the Terrova I might be in the market real soon.
