Minn Kota PowerDrive™ 55 Trolling Motor w/Foot Pedal - 12V - 55LB - 54"

Imagine gliding silently across a glassy lake at dawn, your boat positioning perfectly for that trophy bass lurking in the shallows. The Minn Kota PowerDrive 55 trolling motor makes those moments possible every time you hit the water. This 12V powerhouse with 55 pounds of thrust and a 54-inch shaft is engineered for freshwater anglers who demand reliability without the fuss. It's not just a motor—it's your quiet partner in chasing limits, built to shrug off rough days and keep delivering precise control.

Effortless Control with the Electric Foot Pedal

Steer with confidence using the included side-to-side electric foot pedal, complete with an 18-foot waterproof cord for flexible mounting. Momentarily tap for spot-on adjustments or hold for constant speed and direction. Pair it with the AutoPilot feature, and the motor automatically corrects your course against wind and current, letting you focus on casting rather than compensating. Anglers love how this setup frees up hands for rods while maintaining stealthy approaches to spooky fish.

Maximize Every Charge with Digital Maximizer

One of the smartest features on this trolling motor is the Digital Maximizer technology. It intelligently manages power output, squeezing up to five times more runtime from a single deep-cycle battery compared to traditional motors. Dial in variable speeds for everything from slow trolling for walleye to powering through chop for bass tournaments. Real-world tests from dedicated fishermen show it lasting full days on lakes like Erie or Champlain, even with heavy use.

Unmatched Durability for Season After Season

The indestructible composite shaft flexes under impact but never breaks—Minn Kota backs it with a lifetime guarantee. Add a cool-running, whisper-quiet lower unit that resists overheating, and you've got a motor ready for brushy backwaters or open bays. The Power Prop (MKP-37) bites through weeds and pushes strong in current, while the Deploy-Assist lever makes launching and stowing a one-handed job. No more wrestling with heavy gear at the ramp.

Simple Power Management

A quick push-to-test battery meter gives you an instant readout of your charge level, so you're never guessing mid-fight. With a max amp draw of 50, it's perfectly matched to standard 12V setups, and the push-button system keeps things straightforward for all skill levels.

Versatile Bow-Mount Performance

Bolt it securely to your bow for optimal freshwater handling. The electric-steer design responds instantly, and variable speeds adapt to conditions from calm ponds to windy reservoirs. Freshwater-focused, it excels where precision meets power—think drifting live bait for crappie or holding position over structure for pike.

Pro Tips for Peak Performance
