trolling motor shaft length for a 1750 crestliner fishhawk

[triple crown]

Just boat a 2000 crestliner fishhawk and replacing the trolling motor. What length shaft are people using on them. I do fish heavy water sometimes(looking at a minnkota 70 or 80 lb terranova ipilot)

I would vote for the 60 inch Terrova on that rig. I would hold off till dec to get the i-link version.

wont the i lnk only work with hummingird?

also-what will the upgrade be on that over the 1500 motor now

60inch is the only way to go.....
In my opinion this is a universal answer on any deep V aluminum or glass boat.

60" 80 lb. Terrova without a doubt. iPilot Link only works with Humminbird, I'm just guessing, but I think it will cost about $350 more than the current Terrova w/iPilot. The stand alone iPilot is $450 and the new iPilot Link is $800, $800 - $450 = $350.

I'm going to have to look into the Terrova since they seem so popular. I switched from a Powerdrive, to a Motorguide Tour series with cable steer.

I like the direct link to boat control with the cable steer, and especially the stow/deploy of this type of mount.

Maybe the features available in the Terrova will make it worth switching

The only way to go . Handles everything I throw at it. Fish the detroit river heavy in the spring lasts all day any condition. The Ipilot is great for setting up tracks , speed, also the gps n is nice for hands free.

1750 will work with 48 but 54 will work better now 60inch I am not so sure it's needed. Minimum get 55pound thrust or higher Ipilot motor. If you are cheap like me saving $125 for battery, $350 for 70pound motor I am happy with my lighter setup. Have not priced terrova but suspect it's another $250. What is ipilot link lol?

I have the same boat and a 60" terrova/ 80 lb- I can troll up to 2.6 mph with it and works great- having a few issues with the I pilot tho-
