I have owned my terrova for a few years now. I absolutely love it 95% of the time. The 5% of the time I don't like it is getting it back in the boat after use. I am 67 and I can still get it back in ok but I always try to grab my front seat to steady myself. I have tried to tie a rope to it to try and pull it back in like you would a conventional trolling motor but it just doesn't work for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
