I have had three now: An old Motorguide (junk) an 80lb 60" shaft Terrova, and my current 112lb 72" shaft Terrova.
Price is not a factor in my decision making. My buddy had an Ulterra that had nothing but issues with the auto-deploy, which led me to the Terrova without auto-deploy.
Spot-lock and autopilot are non-negotiables in choosing a trolling motor, IMO. Those are my two favorite features.
The battery use is also surprisingly economical. I have a 36v 100 AH lithium, and can go for 4 solid days of fishing without a charge.
In terms of maintenance - none. When I kill this one, I will probably do the Garmin Kraken, because I much prefer Garmin electronics to Humminbird, and want to integrate my chart plotters with the trolling motor.
