Minn Kota PowerDrive™ 70/US2 IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 24V-70lb-60" *Remanufactured — Product description
Discover the Upgraded Power and Precision of the PowerDrive 70 Trolling Motor
Anglers who demand reliability and cutting-edge tech on every outing swear by the Minn Kota PowerDrive 70 with i-Pilot and Bluetooth. This remanufactured model delivers the same powerhouse performance as its factory-fresh counterparts—70 pounds of thrust at 24 volts, paired with a robust 60-inch shaft—but at a value that lets you gear up without compromise. Redesigned from the ground up, it combines a sleeker profile with a beefier mount to tackle rough waters and heavy use, ensuring your boat stays positioned exactly where the fish are biting.
Revolutionary i-Pilot: Your GPS Fishing Companion
At the heart of this trolling motor lies the updated i-Pilot system, transforming how you navigate and anchor. Forget manually fighting currents or wind—Spot-Lock pins your boat in place with pinpoint GPS accuracy, holding steady even in choppy conditions. Record your proven paths for repeat runs through prime honey holes, or let Advanced AutoPilot steer you effortlessly. The larger remote screen makes commands intuitive, while Bluetooth connectivity opens the door to smartphone control for seamless software updates and on-the-fly adjustments.
Universal Sonar 2 (US2) for Real-Time Fish Finding
Integrated Universal Sonar 2 provides dual-beam sonar right from your motor, feeding clean data to your fish finder. Whether you're scanning for structure or tracking schools, this built-in tech saves space, reduces clutter, and keeps your focus on the strike. It's a game-changer for tournament pros and weekend warriors chasing bass, walleye, or panfish.
Effortless Handling with Smart Design Features
Stowing and deploying shouldn't feel like a workout. The Deploy-Assist lever makes it a breeze: press down to drop into the water, and it secures firmly when you're trailering home. A quick-push battery meter lets you glance at remaining power, helping you plan longer days without unexpected cutoffs. The Weedless Wedge 2 prop slices through vegetation like butter, its swept-back blades pushing debris aside to maintain steady thrust in weedy bays or lily pads.
Engineered for Longevity and Quiet Operation
Minn Kota's indestructible composite shaft flexes under impact but never quits—backed by a lifetime guarantee. Extra-large windings keep the motor cool and efficient, extending runtime on deep-cycle batteries while minimizing noise that could spook wary fish. This quiet power means you can sneak up on bedding bass or finesse crappie without detection.
Tips for Maximizing Your PowerDrive 70 Performance
- Pair with 24V deep-cycle batteries in good condition for optimal thrust and stamina.
- Calibrate i-Pilot on calm water for best Spot-Lock accuracy.
- Rinse the shaft and prop after saltwater use to preserve the corrosion-resistant build.
- Use the app for high-speed bypass to zip across lakes faster when needed.
