Hi, I am Steve Chiasson, a retired P.E. teacher with a lifelong passion for fishing. I miss my career in education and sharing my passion for fishing is a natural progression. My experience as a tournament angler, seminar speaker, working at trade shows, and pro staffng for Humminbird, Minn Kota, Cannon Downriggers, Abu Garcia, Berkley, Fenwick, Pflueger, and Spiderwire has given me a wealth of knowledge. As a former Canadian Classic Champion, two time Angler of the Year, and multiple tournament winner, I will share my insights in the hopes of making you a more successful angler.
Minn Kota Terrova QUEST Brushless, Plus Brushed Terrova Features Too!
The popular Minn Kota Terrova electric trolling motor has been a reliable workhorse for many years. It is a best selling motor in the Minn Kota line. People have been asking for the brushless technology and it’s here! The brushless Terrova will be known as the Minn Kota Terrova Quest. This video showcases freshwater trolling motors only. There is also a Riptide saltwater series of Terrovas. The focus of the video will be on the Quest. There will be plenty of brushed Terrova comparisons as well as some upgrades to it too. Join me as I go in depth reviewing the new Minn Kota Terrovas at the Toronto International Boat Show.

So when you powered it up the transducer was not un the water right?? Is that the process?
You can power the unit up out of the water but it won’t work unless it is in the water. I always fire up the unit attached to the MegaLive first as it takes a bit to kick in.
Thanks. This was helpful. I got a boat that came with a hummingbird and really didn't know what I should set it to.
Glad it helped 😊, thanks for sharing your comment.
The prihana isn’t nearly as good as marking fish and finding fish and the structure as the helix . You should have used that , you can find the structure and the fish near it and you can’t with the piranha
I could have used the Helix as a portable sonar unit as well. It was a throwback trip in time for us and we treated it accordingly. The Piranha did a good job so we just rolled with it.
Good morning, Steve I enjoy your style of teaching and have learned a lot from it/you. I have a question for you I currently use my Mega Live on a Helix 9 and I am considering a Helix 12 and the images in this video are wonderful with this being way before the most recent update. I'm at a true crossroads. Do I make the jump to a Solix 12 or stay with the Helix line in a 12? I have also heard Solix and Helix don't work well together. When watching your newer videos I see you are currently running Solix so I think you would be most helpful with an opinion. Any input would be greatly appreciated Steve.
Thanks for the kind words. The resolution on the Helix and Solix 12 are the same. The main advantage of Solix is the touchscreen. I would get the Helix 12 and save yourself some $. I have done comparisons with the Solix and Aprx but I don’t run either one. All my units are Helix. The resolution on the Helix 12 is better than the Helix 9.
@@stevechiassonfishing5876 Thank you so much for that Steve when I saw the Solix/Apex comparison I assumed you had made the switch to a Solix. Thanks again Steve you have helped tremendously with my decision.
@ronreitz2399 happy to help
I need to change a bunch of icons, will this be a one at a time deal?
I would edit them one at a time and select an icon to give it meaning to you. Whatever icon you like the most, save it as the default icon and that willl make things simpler moving forward.
Is the mounting holes spaced the same . I am going from the brushed terrova to the terrova quest series
@@thomasrichard913 it was for my Ultrex, I am not 100% sure as the Terrova base is bigger on the Quest so I suspect the holes might be spaced a little differently.
Excellent video! I will use this more often. Thank you!
It’s definitely a key I use all the time. Thanks for taking the time to share your comment. 😊
That was a nice job explaining that! I have a question, I have a Helix 7 to help track my way point for when I am up front fishing. I have it communicatting with my Helix 10 at the steering wheel. I marked a waypoints with my Helix 7 but not on my 10. It shows up on my 10 when both are hooked up, but I will not let me rename it . Do I manually enter the latitude coordinates from the 7 into the Helix 10 even though it shows the waypoint on my 10? Or do I create a new waypoint and put the same information in the 10?
@@rodericknelson8371 You can only edit waypoint on the unit that you save it on.
@stevechiassonfishing5876 Ok, so that means I would need to go back to that same waypoint and save it on the 10 correct?
If you change it on the 7, should show up on 10
@stevechiassonfishing5876 I don't think it will let me rename it on the 7 because it is only set up to track and mark waypoints, but i will give it a try in the morning. Thank you so much for your help.

Can this TM network with Lowrance?
@@user-fi5qv9rt7c If it has a built in transducer, there is an adapter cord that will enable you to use the 2D transducer only.
I have the Helix 5, not installed yet. Can both panes be active so you can run your chart as a navigation tool and the left so you can see whats going on under you at the same time?
@@davidwelday3276 you can run both at the same time, no problem, but only one active pane at a time.
@@stevechiassonfishing5876 hope it holds up better than my Lowrance Hook 2, it didn't even last a season and it went totally whack on me and I've tried everything. This will be a better unit anyway with mapping built in instead of using my phone. I don't even fish, but I like the data and the visuals

Excellent video! Thanks for the detailed information. I'm onto your next video before getting on the water!
Thanks Joe, I appreciate your kind words.
@stevechiassonfishing5876 I've just purchased a unit and your videos are hands down the best ones online! Tonight, I sit in the garage in the boat on simulator mode... 😆 getting used to the settings... have a great day!
@joedaoust That’s awesome and the best way to learn, get comfortable with your electronics.
You too, enjoy your new toys.
Very nice video. I wish i knew this before today, lol. Tried going fishing with a map and had dots on it where cubes have been placed. In no way were we even close.
Thanks Tim, I appreciate your kind words.
Question? I've watched your video a few times and haven't seen how you get rid of the vertical grid line when on the SI. I don't like them.
Hit menu, menu, go to sonar tab at top, scroll down to SI Range Lines, right click to turn them off. (make sure you have clicked custom, not angler under user mode which is menu menu under the set up tab)
@@stevechiassonfishing5876 Great, thanks for getting back to me.
Thank you so much
You’re welcome, glad you found it helpful.
After doing all kinds of research on the internet, I got the Terrova, 12V. 55 thrust and 45 shaft. I think that it will pull my 17 foot Nitro pretty well as I had a Motor Guide with a 40 pound thrust and that pulled it very well. I am going to have it mounted in the next couple of days and really look forward to trying it out. It's got a few more "bells & whistles" than I need, but I hope to learn how to get it to work. I think that the Spot Lock feature will really be a help the way that I fish. I bought it mainly for the Auto Pilot. When I lived in Florida, in the 90's, I had an AP motor and LOVED it!! I just bought a used boat and this was the next BIG step on "tricking it out" like I wanted to. Thanks!
That’s exciting, you will love spot lock!
Great video. I really enjoy your teaching method. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the teaching compliment! I definitely try my best to teach people to get the most out of their electronics.
Personally I think a 3 minute intro is a little long to wait to get t the content. That said good videos.
Thanks for the suggestion, glad you liked the video.
Fantastic video. Very informative. I've been trying to dial my Helix 7 3G in so I could see my bait when drop shotting. I have watched dozens of videos and tried the settings they suggested but so far I've had no luck. Are there any other factors besides settings that could prevent me from seeing my lure? Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated. The down imaging beam is narrow making it difficult to see your bait. You will have more success using your 2D sonar which shoots out a cone signal. The cone angle will allow you to see your bait. MegaLive is also another way to see your bait. Ice fishing you can even see your swivel above the drop shoot hook, bait, and weight falling.
Do you know if you can over ride the automatic stowing feature where it turns the head automatically when you pull up on the rope? For example, in shallow water I often pick up the motor but only half way and use the foot pedal to steer still and guide the motor to get out of the shallow water so the bottom of the motor is not hitting the bottom of the lake but still running the motor so I can power out while picking it up a smidge. Unsure how this may read as I have been having a hard time describing this in writing.
I do understand your question as I do the same thing. I will check next time I am out.
Yes you can override the stow feature. Just pull it up like normal, it orients itself but you just simply step on the foot pedal and it operates just like you are used to when steering out of shallower water.
Awesome! My only last concern is the size and weight. I have an 18ft bass boat and went from a motorguide scissor mount to a Terrova. Terrova has such a small foot print and is nice but the issue is hard to add 360 and/or other accessories. I love the small footprint of the Terrova though but wish I could add the other stuff. My Terrova is getting old now and thinking of updating.
A well done video! Great explanations of the settings and how to preview changes via simulation mode.
Thank you Ross, your kind words are much appreciated.
Hi Steve... Hope all is well... I am reviewing (again!) many of your videos... I am looking for your Mega Live video, with your recommended settings information...

Trying to be helpful and educational.
Thanks for the video. Is the Minn Kota Terrova I Pilot (Not I Pilot Link) compatible with the Hummingbird Helix 9 MDI+ GPS G4N CHO?
If you have a built in transducer it will work. You can’t control trolling motor with Helix since it’s not a link.
Were you the teacher in Ferris Buehlers Dayoff movie?
I will give you the most unique comment award 🥇 ever on my CZcams channel.
Might be a tad easier using the 3/4 bit and then the drill bit in that order.
Thanks Joseph, excellent suggestion.
Hi Steve, I see you are using a helix 12. Is it worth it to go to a 12 instead of a helix 10? I already have a helix 9
The advantages of a 12 over a 10 is better resolution. It’s also easier to view multiple screens on the 12. The 10 still provides a really good image so it comes down to budget, mounting space, and personal preference.
Buy a 12 volt regulated power supply and an extra helix power plug cable. Properly connect and use inside your home. This is what I do in the comfort of my home.
I have lithium 12V batteries I use for ice fishing and also do that as well. It’s a very helpful tip too, thank you. Lots of anglers don’t have ice fishing opportunities so this accessory is a good option for them.
Do you need a mounting plate like the quick release?
Completely optional, I do not use a mounting plate, it is bolted directly to the bow platform.
What's the difference between heading up or course up?
Heading up is boats current direction map rotates with boats direction, course up is used when navigating to a waypoint. I will send you a picture in other conversation.
Excellent video
Thanks Tom, much appreciated
Been looking for a better fishfinder and am considering the humminbird helix 7 mdi gps g4 to use for jigging for salmon. My main issuse with my current sounder is its just too cheap to get any detail (lowrance hook2 4x). I need something that will show me depth of fish so i can get my jig in the right depth. Would my jig show up on this as i jig up and down so i know im really close to depth of fish?
Yes it will work, I used a Helix 5 ice fishing in 120’ of water for lakers. I recommend you use 2D sonar for vertical jigging.
This is the unit I have. 859 ci HD sonar GPS down imaging
Helix units came after the 859 series.
Sorry just read the earlier comment.
Hi Steve I am having a problem setting up my views and putting my picks on the 3 quick buttons on the bottom.. it's not the same menu that comes up as in your videos. When I go through the views I can't find any of DI/sonar views. Way to many chart views and other systems views. I did not get a manual when I got the boat. No just sonar views that I can find. I don't know why they don't show up in the menu.
As far as I know you press and hold the buttons just like Helix, I had a 958 and 959 units and they were press and hold too. In case you haven’t seen this one czcams.com/video/by5OwxaZWUQ/video.htmlsi=_cbwoUbjQGHJCYxc
I really like the way you do these videos. You take your time, you thoroughly explain the settings, and I like when you use a pencil to point things out. So many "how to" videos rush through things, have poor camera angles, and I learn almost nothing from watching them. My hat is off to you because these things are SO COMPLEX its not easy to learn all the functions. It takes me a long time to learn computer things as I did not grow up with computers and I hate learning new software.
Your kind words are a fantastic start to my day. Your willingness to learn is an essential part of getting comfortable with your electronics. Everything is hard before it’s easy 😊.
I had a 2018 Ulterra on my boat with Ipilot link with the touch screen remote. The remote is so sensitive that when my shirt brushed against the screen it would make the trolling motor to do things you didn't want it to do. Like deploy in shallow water and it ended up bending the stow/deploy motor shaft. It also locked the remote without me knowing and I was trolling on speed 6 when I saw a big submerged rock, I tried steering around it but nothing happened because the remote was locked. I hit that rock and me and my partner were thrown out of our seats to the ground. Luckily we didn't get hurt but we could of easily. The last time I went fishing the trolling motor failed to deploy, I finally got that to work and then it wouldn't trim up or down. I never got that to work. I believe it fried either the main board or the trim motor board. But, it's still under warranty. So, I purchased the new quest ulterra. That thing is a BEAST. I am still in the installation phase. When I get my 2018 ulterra back from warranty work, I am going to sell it. I hope I won't have any problems with this new motor. I am glad it doesn't have the touch screen remote because that is what gave me all the problems on my old unit. I also bought the MK57 plate for the Quest ulterra. I don't know if I will use it yet because it's really heavy and my boat is a Nitro 170dc. With the new motor being over 20lbs heavier, it might be too much weight in the front with that plate. Plus, I am 330lbs..LOL Thanks for your video 😊 Tight lines Bro
I just put the Ultrex Quest on my boat. The Ulterra Quest design thoroughly impressed me. The Quest series is definitely beast like in quality. We used my buddies Quest in a recent tournament and it was awesome!
I did EVERYTHING Hummingbird said and it still doesn't work. The new basemap is on my SD card and it simply won't upload. Frankly, if Hummingbird didn't make such lousy units they wouldn't have to keep updating and fixing them. I literally would have rather bought a new one that have to deal with this hours long nightmare that won't end. I'm 60 years old and I'd rather be fishing than trying to help their company deal with their own inadequacies.
I did the Basemap video to do my best to help people. There were a few more steps with this update. Did you follow all the instructions in my video?
0:24 really like the videos, very helpful. Thanks Steve
My pleasure, glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Nice job!!! How did you attach the ultrex? I’m trying to put one on mine but I’m having trouble with clearance. Which boots did you use?
Not sure what you mean by boots?
Bolts?
If you’re referring to bolts, I did use different lengths to accommodate available space.
Also, what shaft length did you go with?
52” shaft, I fish bigger lakes for Smallmouth and the longer shaft keeps the trolling motor in the water when the waves get bigger.
Steve. I can mess with contrast and sensitive and get it ok but I still many days that the image is fuzzy.
Do you fish murky water?
The older units had the puck mounted away from the TM, which you had to calibrate ,as you said newTM has it built in do you still have to calibrate it?
I just installed mine but haven’t had it out on the water. I helped a friend with his and we did a keel offset. We set the Quest to straight on deploy and designated stow orientation. I didn’t see anything about doing circles anymore. The keel offset is the calibration. I will be doing mine soon. If anything else needs to be done I will let you know.
No circles to calibrate, just the keel offset, straight on deploy, and stow orientation. Quite simple to set up. The motor comes with a separate instruction manual to complete set up. In the installation manual, it goes into a discussion about indexing the trolling motor. In my experience, the trolling motor and prop shaft line up with the pedal being parallel to the boat so you are usually good to go as far as indexing goes. My boat should be good to go by the end of the day.
Great stuff
Thank you, your comment is much appreciated.
Please remember the direct route is not the best way. This could make it a horrible trip.
In that particular case it was a pretty direct route.
You make good points on the reason for larger reels. One I don't totally agree with. I fish smaller, shallower waters than you, so most reels have too much line capacity. I solved that by putting a filler on my reels, and can keep fresh line on.my reels for less cost. The issue is retreive speed. I spend more time slowing my retreive down for a longer presentation than utilizing the retreive speed of the reel. Thanks for your informative videos.
You’re quite welcome. Ultimately each angler will have preferred choices. Informed anglers will make the best choices for specific conditions.
You should include instructions on replacing the depth collar, I'm on my third one since I installed my terrova 2 months ago
Which Terrova model did you get?

Effective analogy Hugh 👍
Cant you just turn the 360 off would be the easiest
You could but the Mega 360 is a super helpful tool for seeing the structure.
Great information and video? I'm looking to replace the black connection box on my ranger for the trolling motor, where can I purchase for the connection boxes, again thank you.
If you’re referring to the trolling motor on and off switch mine needs replacing too. I had to cable tie wrap it last trip so it would stay on. Hopefully I can use a switch similar to one for my lithium electronics battery in video. I will look into that very soon. If you don’t hear back, drop another comment to remind me.
Thank you Steve, I have watched most of your videos a few times. I hope you do many more in the future.
