Minn Kota Maxxum 70/SC - Foot Control - Weedless Wedge 2 Prop - 1 Year Warranty - 24V-70lb-42" *Remanufactured — Product description
Picture this: dawn breaks over a glassy lake, fog lifting just enough to spot that perfect weedline. You're rigged and ready, but rough waters and hidden stumps test your gear. That's where the Minn Kota Maxxum 70 shines—engineered for anglers who demand unwavering performance from the first cast to the last. This remanufactured powerhouse delivers the same tournament-proven grit as new, at a fraction of the cost, complete with a fresh one-year warranty to keep you fishing worry-free.
What sets this foot-control model apart? It's not just thrust; it's the seamless blend of rugged build and intuitive handling that lets you focus on the bite, not the boat. Whether you're working shallow flats or battling current, the 70 pounds of shove on 24 volts propels you precisely where big fish hide.
Battle-Tested Durability for Real-World Fishing
Tournament-Grade Maxxum Mount
No flexing, no vibrations—just rock-solid stability. This mount laughs off pounding waves and stump-filled shallows, stowing securely when you're done. Anglers swear by it after seasons of abuse, proving it's built to outlast casual outings.
Bowguard 360°: Impact Protection Redefined
Hit a log at any angle? The Bowguard absorbs the shock, pivots away, and snaps back into place. Its dual bearings run whisper-quiet, and quick-release design means easy swaps for maintenance. It's the peace of mind that keeps downtime to zero.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Slice Through Vegetation
Forget clogged props draining your battery. These swept-back blades with flared edges push thick milfoil and hydrilla aside like a hot knife through butter. Paired with the MKP-32 prop, it maintains steady power in the sloppiest cover, ideal for bass boats chasing bedding fish.
Lifetime-Guaranteed Composite Shaft
Stronger than steel yet flexible on strikes—this shaft bends but never breaks, resists corrosion from saltwater splashes or muddy rivers. Minn Kota's lifetime guarantee underscores the confidence: it's the shaft that won't quit on you mid-tournament.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Your Maxxum 70
- Battery Setup: Pair with AGM or lithium batteries matched for 24V to avoid voltage sag during long days. Monitor with a voltmeter for peak efficiency.
- Weed Management: Run at mid-speeds in heavy cover to let the Wedge prop excel; tilt up slightly in super-thick stuff for clearance.
- Maintenance Hacks: Rinse the shaft and prop after brackish trips to preserve the composite. Lubricate cable steer pivot points seasonally for silky operation.
- Angler Upgrade: Many pair it with a fish finder foot pedal extension for hands-free navigation while casting.
- Remanufactured Edge: Factory-refurbished means like-new internals tested rigorously—often outperforming used motors without the premium price tag.
Real talk from the water: this motor's foot pedal feels natural after a quick adjustment, giving you butterfly control without wrestling the boat. It's why pros stick with Minn Kota for high-stakes events.
