Description

PowerDrive is an electric-steer bow-mount trolling motor in 45 and 55 lb (25 kg) versions at 12 V and a 70 lb (32 kg) version at 24 V, with a 48, 54 or 60 inch (122, 137 or 152 cm) shaft. A lever on the mount helps deploy and stow the motor (Deploy-Assist).

It is controlled in one of two ways: with a foot pedal on a 5.5 m cord, or with the small wireless Micro Remote. The Micro Remote versions have GPS (Spot-Lock and AutoPilot) and join the One-Boat Network, and the foot pedal does not work with them. Two versions also have a built-in Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer.

Digital Maximizer draws only as much current from the battery as the chosen speed needs, and a button on the mount tests the battery. It is rated for fresh water; for the sea there is the Riptide PowerDrive.
