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.

 Wow sweet motor! December 10, 2009
wingdragon (UT)
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!

I did a lot of research before I bought this trolling motor. I saved $80.00 on shipping and tax by getting it here on Amazon.
Took it out to the lake last weekend for first time since buying it and installing it 2 months ago. I put it on a 17' crestliner "fish n ski" deep v that weighs 2050 lbs. withought gas. I was told by a lot of people to get the 54", but i resisted and did the math and got the 48' shaft. it is the perfect length.
The installation was easy. The motor performed well even with 20 mph head winds. Although i like the old school foot pedals better. I was able to turn the pedal sideways and push up for left and push back for right.
The long cord is a major plus cause it was way cold and i could get behind the windshield, instead of up on the deck in the freezing cold.
Best buy for a trolling motor for $500.
Great Trolling Motor August 13, 2009

This motor was everything the maker claims it would be. It was fairly easy to install, and I really like the qick removable mounting system.
Minn-Kota used on pontoon August 18, 2009
Vern (Jefferson City, MO)
I purchased this trolling motor for use on my 24 foot pontoon and was surprised and pleased at how well it moves the boat through the water (2.2 mph according to my GPS - no wind). I have used it several times now and have yet to draw the battery below 50% charge so I don't know how many hours I can run on a charge. It goes all day with no problem.
The foot controls are a great idea but the direction (left/right) controls are too 'touchy'. They seem to over-react to the slightest pressure, I wish they could somehow put some kind of a buffer in the circuit. I can't say that I have really mastered it yet. The idea of controlling from the captain's chair is great (middle of the boat).
Getting the motor latched into holder after removal from the water is harder than it should be. However, once in place it is firmly held.
Overall I am very pleased with the quality and performance of this motor.
top notch motor July 12, 2009

This motor proves why Minn Kota's name is tops in trolling motors. I put this on an 18' jon boat with a wide beam. It moves the boat great and ran for about 4 hrs the first time and the battery had only used 25%. I also purchased co-pilot with this and a quick detach bracket. Both great as well. I wish now I had bought the autopilot feature but the motor preforms great as is. My only complaint is that the battery leads were pretty short and that the instructions said the motor was to be used with a 60 amp fuse. I felt I should have been informed about needing extra components to use the motor. I have no complaints about stow and deploy as I've seen in other reviews.
