Minn Kota Terrova 80 lb Bow Mount Trolling Motor – 72" Shaft, 24V, Dual Spectrum CHIRP

High-Bow Reach. 24V Power. GPS Precision.

The Minn Kota Terrova 80 lb with a 72" shaft is built for larger freshwater fishing boats with high bow profiles where a 60" shaft won’t reach the water cleanly. Running on 24 volts, it delivers strong, efficient thrust with the full Terrova GPS feature set — Spot-Lock® anchoring, AutoPilot™ heading control, and built-in Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar — in the longest shaft available in the 80 lb family.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: The Terrova 80 lb / 72" / 24V is the right choice for anglers with a high-profile bow (approximately 28"–36" from the waterline) who need more reach than the 60" shaft provides but don’t want to step up to a 36V / 112 lb system. It’s well-suited to larger aluminum fishing boats and fiberglass hulls in the 19–24 ft range where 24V thrust is sufficient and the high bow demands the longest shaft in the 80 lb lineup.

Shaft Selection Tip: A general rule is to add 16" to your bow height to determine the minimum shaft length needed. Measure from the waterline to the top of the bow mount before ordering. If your bow measures 28" or more, the 72" shaft is the correct choice in this thrust class.

MEGA Down Imaging Note: The 80 lb / 72" configuration is only available with Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar. If MEGA Down Imaging is a priority, the closest option is the Terrova 80 lb / 60" with MEGA Down Imaging — or step up to the Terrova 112 lb / 72" with MEGA Down Imaging if you also need more thrust.

24V Battery Setup: This motor requires two 12V batteries wired in series to produce 24V. Use matched batteries of the same age, type, and capacity. AGM or lithium batteries in the 100–120 Ah range are recommended for a full day of fishing.
