Quick Details
The Minn Kota freshwater Terrova has been the most popular trolling motor on the market for years; for good reason. Whether you fish for crappies, bass or walleyes, the Terrova has always been a dependable, high performance companion on the water.
With the new 2024 Terrova 55, all of the features that make the Terrova so popular have received upgrades; the new lever-style stow/deploy mechanism and integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar just to name a few. As always, feel free to ditch the anchor and stay glued over that brush pile, courtesy of Minn Kota’s legendary “Spot Lock”.
Also new for 2024; Minn Kota’s “Advanced GPS technology” with a redesigned remote replaces their previous i-Pilot GPS system adding some new GPS navigation functions including “Drift Mode,” and “Dodge”.
Integrate your Terrova 55 with select Humminbird fish finders and tap into Minn Kota’s One Boat Network offering seamless communication and control between various Humminbird and Minn Kota products.
Terrova 55 Standard Features Include: “Advanced GPS” system with wireless remote, Real-Time Battery monitoring, Digital Maximizer, Heading Sensor and Minn Kota smartphone app. A Humminbird Helix adapter cable and 30’ ethernet cable for the One Boat Network setup with select Humminbird fishfinders are also included.

2024 Terrova 55 Full Details
Recommended for:
Small to medium freshwater center console, Carolina skiffs, flats boats, small Pontoons, jon boats, bass boats and general fishing boats. The 12v - 55 lbs thrust motor is recommended for boats with a fully laden weight up to 2,500lbs and length up to 18'. However, fishing conditions, hull design/shape and intended use all have a significant impact on calculating the appropriate amount of thrust for your boat. For more help determining the right thrust for your boat please refer to our Trolling motor thrust guide.
How It's Unique
The Terrova is a step-up from Minn Kota's entry-level PowerDrive line of motors. Compared to the PowerDrive lineup, this Terrova 55 has more available features, it's easier to stow and deploy and has a more rugged construction.
All Terrovas are equipped with Advanced GPS and come with the a full size Advanced GPS Remote and a Heading Sensor (enables the popular Jog Feature). Most freshwater Terrova models also include a multi-function foot pedal and integrated sonar. Freshwater PowerDrives are available with Advanced GPS and the smaller Micro Remote as an option. All other freshwater PowerDrive models are operated by foot pedal only.
While both models offer GPS technology, only the Freshwater Terrova lineup enables simultaneous operation with wireless remote and multi-function foot pedal.
We recommend the PowerDrive trolling motors for fishermen who are looking for a no frills, value-priced motor with optional Advanced GPS (including Spot Lock) or foot pedal operation. The PowerDrive is available in 55 and 70 lbs thrust levels. If you need a motor with higher thrust levels, longer available shaft lengths, standard Advanced GPS with full size remote, one-hand stow/deploy and more available features the Terrova is the motor for you.

Available Upgrades:
Mounting Details:
This motor is bolted directly to the bow of the boat using the included mounting hardware, and requires drilling 4-6 bolts into the hull for installation. Ideally, it's best to have access to the underside of the mounting platform in order to secure and fasten the bolting hardware. However, if accessing the underside is impossible you can use no access bolts to secure the motor from the top. For more information see our compatibility guides or download motor installation instructions and heading sensor instructions.
If you wish to take the motor on and off your boat, you can also opt for a quick release bracket which is a very popular choice. For the Terrova 55 select the MKA-21 quick release bracket.
Mount Dimensions:
14 17/16" length x 8 3/8" width
Motor Voltage and Batteries:
The Terrova 55 is a 12 volt motor and requires one (1), 12-volt marine battery or one (1) 12v LiFePO4 lithium battery (min 80AH rating). For more information on the proper batteries to purchase for your trolling motor, see our Trolling Motor Battery Selection Guide.
Motor Wiring Details:
The Terrova 55 can be wired directly to the battery or it can be used in conjunction with a plug and receptacle for a cleaner, more professional installation. If using a quick release bracket, a plug and receptacle like the Minn Kota MKR-28 will allow you to plug and unplug the motor for easy removal and re-mounting.
To protect your motor from damage, a circuit breaker is highly recommended.
Shielded, marine grade wiring should be used to connect the motor to the power source (aka battery!). To determine the appropriate gauge wiring download this circuit breaker and wiring table.
Power Lead Length:
Two 5' power leads (red and black) ending in terminal rings (aka lugs). Minn Kota motors do not come from the factory with trolling motor power plugs and receptacles.
A power plug can be crimped or heat shrunk onto the power leads; make sure to have a matching receptacle installed in the hull. If you are replacing an existing motor that has a plug already installed, you can remove and transfer it to the new motor's power leads.
NOTE: Although most power plugs and receptacles are universally compatible regardless of voltage, make sure that they are rated at 60amps or more. Minn Kota and Marinco offer high-quality, reliable plug and receptacle sets.
Pedal Cord Length:
18' Cord

Amperage Draw:
50 amps at maximum speed
Motor Run Time:
Important Note: Calculating run time is very difficult due to the many factors involved. As you likely won't be running your trolling motor 100% of the time, the actual amount of on-the-water time will be longer than continuous motor run times listed below. Trolling motor run time can vary depending on the boat, operating conditions (winds, waves, etc) and the type of battery used. Listed below are run-time estimates assuming a 100 amp hour rated batteries. To learn more, please see our article on calculating motor run time.
- 20+ Hours: At slow, trolling speeds that draw 5 amps or less
- 4.8 Hours: Approx. run time with throttle 50% open
- 2.4 Hours: Approx. run time with the motor at full throttle
Stow and Deploy Method:
The Terrova's manual stow and deploy system is activated by a foot lever and employs weight distribution which works like a pendulum and helps carry the weight of the motor. Simply depress the lever, grab the top of the control head, pull up and then swivel the shaft down into the stowed and locked position. The "Auto-Park" feature automatically lines up the lower unit with the mounting ramp for easy stowing.
Motor Steering Method:
The motor is steered via the included Advanced GPS remote control and/or multi-function foot pedal. The Terrova 55 can also connect (aka network) to compatible Humminbird fishfinders via an ethernet connection. This networking feature is part of Minn Kota's "One Boat Network" and allows you to control your motor directly from the Humminbird and tap in to additional auto-navigation and mapping features.
Download Minn Kota's One Boat Network smartphone app to control your motor directly from your phone and sync up with your Humminbird for mapping and auto-navigation features.
