Product Description
The evolution of power leaps forward with Minn Kota's newly re-engineered PowerDrive V2 Series of trolling motors. The most tried and trusted electric steer motor is now enhanced with intuitive, ergonomically-designed features that deliver more performance than ever. The PowerDrive V2 series also offers a redesigned foot pedal, new deploy-assist lever, and digital electronics enhancements.

Key Features of the PowerDrive V2 Series:



    Minn Kota's Digital Maximizer technology supports up to five times longer run time on a single charge.
  • Deploy Assist Lever: Features a new deploy-assist lever that puts you in motion and in pursuit of fish quickly and easily. Simply depress the lever to deploy the motor and you’re ready to go. When it’s time to move, it stows easily and securely--ready for action again as soon as you are.
  • Ergonomic Foot Pedal: Offers precise speed adjustment, right/left steering, and both momentary and constant On/Off. Features the industry’s highest IP68 waterproof rating and 18' cord. Optional wireless foot pedal available.
  • AutoPilot: Spend less time steering your boat and more time catching fish. Simply put, AutoPilot keeps your pursuit of trophy fish headed in the right direction.
  • CoPilot Compatible: The wireless CoPilot remote control accessory (available separately) lets you control speed and steering from anywhere on the boat. With CoPilot you get every fish-fighting advantage and a clean, uncluttered deck while eliminating the fatigue of being "locked" to the foot pedal.
  • Digital Maximizer: Up to five times longer run time on a single charge. Conventional speed coil technology wastes energy by delivering a constant, steady flow of power to the motor--regardless of the speed setting--resulting in wasted energy. Pioneered in 1985, Minn Kota’s innovative Maximizer technology delivers the precise amount of power needed at any setting, along with variable speed control. Now, the advanced, digital microprocessing optimizes draw to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. Get up to five times longer run time on a single charge.
  • Indestructible Composite Shaft: The standard of the industry since 1991! Pound for pound, the ultra high-yield composite material has been tested to be three times the strength of steel. Virtually indestructible, it flexes on impact and then returns to its original position. Unlike steel, will not kink, break, rust, or corrode.
  • Cool, Quiet Power: Extra-large windings and commutators are used to dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power and longer motor life. A unique bearing system produces low rpms/high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise.

Manufacturer's Warranty
All PowerDrive V2 bow-mount trolling motors feature Minn Kota's two-year warranty.

About Minn Kota
Minn Kota is the oldest manufacturer of electric fishing motors in the world with nearly 70 years of hard-earned experience in the lab and on the water. Throughout their history, Minn Kota has led the way in product innovation and cutting-edge technology. The Minn Kota electric trolling motor began its life in 1934 in Fargo, North Dakota. Mr. O. G. Schmidt, inventor of the trolling motor, was known to be a man of many diverse ideas. Prior to the trolling motor, Mr. Schmidt invented, produced and sold a copper soldering torch from his home in Wheatland, North Dakota. Due to its success, manufacturing operations were then moved to Fargo. Because of its proximity to the MINNesota-North DaKOTA border, Mr. Schmidt named the business The Minn Kota Manufacturing Company.

Just what I wanted
 
Review Date: May 3, 2009
Reviewer: Fred L. Ordelheide, East Texas
Perfect on front of my 21 ft Lowe pontoon. Plenty long. Easy to install with hardware provided. Powerful enough for a pontoon. Foot control works great and was not sensitive to me, as another reviewer described. That is a personal matter, but I found it just right.

Takes up little room and I installed it at a bit of an angle so it stores on deck to one side for walking room, then centers when put in the water.

I made my own cord and clamped it so I can pull it up with that. My old one had a cord and this does not. I was used to the cord and find it handy so added that myself.

Good price, arrived on time, undamaged and works as advertised.
Wow sweet motor!

This is my third minnkota i had earlier autopilot wireless model, riptide, now this one in 48inch shaft. The good its beautiful black color, great aluminum build quality. How could MotorGuide come close to this motor they cant! I was looking for lowest priced decent motor. There are other types with different mounts but this unit is best. No clumsey wiring to foot control its all electronic baby with electric steering. Everyone says get 24v um why 12volt is simple offers great power to move 17 foot crestliner if i need longer trolling time add two batterys + to + neg to neg. I plan on installing 40amp inline circuit breaker or fuse close to positive side battery. The advantage of electric motors for trolling you can get the speed just right for pop gear worm, walleye fishing pulling bottom bouncers. I have a kicker motor but tell you what this unit gets used its more enviormently friendly must have for nice boat. Most important option on my rig! Amazon is fantastic super quick shipping like 2 days ground LOL. Autopilot feature on other motors is nice but not totally needed you just do more imputing on controls. Mounting read the directions look at sheet supplied. You will need a helper to hold unit where you want it in down position. Under two plastic side plates are where the bolts go. The motor must be far enough out from boat to lower and raise unit. Dont go to far out just enough. Try and center motor but off angle to right is preffered not straight ahead. They do offer a quick release bracket it will raise motor couple inches there nice to have for removing motor for winter but not required. Perfect score motor i see no way of improving its looks or function. Shafts for bow are toss up a super deep v alum boat like starcraft 19 id go 55inch shaft or lund tyee,fisherman. My crestliner sits little lower in water and 48 if fine!
great

Reviewer: Charles R. Johnson,
I used this trolling motor to move an 18' pontoon boat. It does an excellent job for me. I've used it in high winds, and it performs well. I highly recommend it.
Excellent!

I have been out a few times with this trolling motor and it has performed excellent! I love the momentary feature when doing a controlled drift and it has plenty of power for my 16 ft boat. I am waiting to get the Co-Pilot from Minn Kota which was offered as a rebate for free.
