Minn Kota Powerdrive Trolling Motor 

*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*

excellent video! i am thinking about putting one of these on the front of my kayak

I just got a 55lb 54in bow mounted on my river hawk pro v. I mounted a in boat charger to the batterie box. Your correct the boats a little hard to steer when the settings around 9 or 10 but it moves my 16ft boat like a champ.

Thanks for your input on this motor, really agree with you on the foot controller being as thin as it is that’s the main reason I’m going with this model, rented a boat with the motor guide and did not like the high brick like foot controller.

This is the first trolling motor I have owned. It’s been great! Lots of thrust. Would recommend.

This is an excellent video- great information

ANDERSON CONNECTORS!!!!! You can get them in the gauge you need!

Answered a lot of questions for me. I have a little 6x15 pontoon thinking this motor would be good fit.

I have the copilot system if you ever change your mind and want a remote. I finally saved up and added the I pilot to mine. I really like the autopilot feature. I was disappointed though because you lose the connection for the foot control.

I just got a bargain on a Power Drive. My fishing buddy upgraded to a Minn Kota with spot lock. He sold me his Power drive 24 volt for $100 and a two pack charger for $20. I have an 18 foot Bass Tracker Pro with OEM Motor Guide cable foot control and 12/24 electrical. I will convert to 24 volt only. The boat is already wired with 6 gauge wiring.

I just bought the same trolling motor for my 24' pontoon. For my boat, it is definitely strong enough to move it with ease, though I never ran it above speed position 7. You sold me on it. I do have one question (concern). Because of the design of my trailer, I have to remove the motor from the quick release bracket when loading the boat on the trailer. This means I have to remove the screw-tension knob from the bracket while in water. I was trying to come up with some method whereby I could "tether" the bolt to either the bracket or the deck of my pontoon. I realize it is just a 1/4x20 bolt with a knob on it, but still, would not want to drop it over water. Any thoughts on securing or tethering it?

Hey Don, As I said on an earlier post, you sold me on this model. However, I seem to have a hard time deploying the Powerdrive from the stowed position, even when putting a fair amount of leverage on the the Deploy Assist Lever. The part that hooks onto the Latch Collar is free, but the motor still doesn't deploy. Then suddenly after pushing up & down and wiggling the shaft, it finally "jumps" loose and then I can deploy it.. Have you encountered any issues like this? I've done searches on it and it looks like I'm not the only one, but no one seems to have a good fix. Just curious if you have had any issues.

I have a 15ft tracker topper I use for fishing I would love to put a foot controlled trolling motor on. Would you recommend this option? I have seen a few on craigslist and price seems to be right.

I use a downriger plug on mine to take it off

Your into sounds like podunk by kid rock

What kind of power plug came on your motor I can't find one to fit mine

Great job ///what size boat?

You've had it for awhile now, Have you fallen overboard trying to lift/stow the motor?

Love it

How do you put it into reverse ?

Lol so people pay extra money for it to deploy itself and foot panel? That’s hilarious
