I just sold my Power Drive and mounted a Terrova but I had a minor problem, the quick disconnect plate wasn't quite right. The plate fits either unit no problem but it was installed using the PD, I set it up on the Terrova and it wouldn't deploy all the way. It turns out that there is an easy fix for the problem, I placed blue tape along the back edge and 1 side of the fixed plate , un-bolted it from the hull, mounted the Terrova and placed it so it would deploy correctly. I measured the difference and I had to move the plate 7/8 of an inch closer to the edge of the gunnel. Since I didn't want to drill more holes in the boat I carefully measured to drill the plate, drilled it in stages and viola, Terrova mounted and ready to go.

 ~c~  Good deal.  It is amazing how one model differs from another this way.  Nothing is standard any more.
