|---|---|
| Motor Run Time: | Important Note: As you likely won't be running your trolling motor perpetually, the actual amount of on-the-water time a motor should allow will be substantially longer than times listed. Actual motor run time can vary depending on conditions (winds, waves, etc) and the type of battery used. Listed below are run-time estimates assuming a 100 amp hour rated battery. To learn more, please see our article on calculating motor run time.
|
| Stow and Deploy Method: | PowerDrive's Deploy-Assist lever makes it easy to deploy the motor by squeezing a lever, raising the shaft and deploying it into the water. When not in use, the shaft and head can be quickly removed from the water and laid on the deck for storage. |
| Motor Steering Method: | The motors is steered via the included foot pedal which can control motor speed and direction. If the CoPilot or i-Pilot accessories are purchased, PowerDrive V2 can also be controlled via wireless remote control. Note: If a CoPilot or i-Pilot wireless remote is installed, the foot pedal will NOT function. If you'd like to be able to use both a pedal and wireless remote simultaneously, you'll need to choose a Terrova motor. |
| Shaft Adjustment: | An adjustable depth collar makes it easy to set how deep the shaft and propeller sit in the water. |
| Motor Speed: | All PowerDrive motors have a variable speed motor. |

Duracraft 16ft aluminum
Review by Brandon -
I ordered my PD V2 after much research and deliberation and man is it a great motor. For my 16 ft boat, this motor is more than enough! The iPilot is a must have as well, Controlling this boat in a 15mph wind has never been this easy. I LOVE not having to deal with a foot pedal, and being able to troll all day on a single battery charge is awesome! Everyone told me to spring for the more expensive Terrova, but honestly, for my aluminum boat, I could not be more satisfied.Overall Rating
Shipping was super fast (4 business days), and the staff at trollingmotors.net kept me updated with emails throughout the shipping process and even made a follow up to ensure my order was correct. Great experience, great product. And if you are rigging a boat and want to do it the right way, look into the package deal with charger, plug, fuse, and mounting bracket. (Posted on March 11, 2013)

Mirrorcraft 17
Review by Bassboat -
I had one of these motors for about 4 years and have had it fixed multiple times. The biggest issue I had are the pedals. I've gone through three and a friend of mine is getting his second. When it works, it works great but I never get a full summer out of it. (Posted on January 28, 2013)Overall Rating

Linder Arkip 460
Review by Henrik Karlsson -
My new Minn Kota i-Pilot will definitely help me a lot in my fishing. Both for normal trolling, slow trolling with live bait and also when you want to lay still and position precise, then I use the spot lock function. The extended running time is also important when you do many hours on a fishing trip. I appreciate the battery indicators and long running time, I use a 100 amp battery, and it lasts for many hours. The wireless remote control is great, and combined with the GPS function where it is possible to record a track I can follow the same path many times, really good if you find a hot spot.Overall Rating
