Minn Kota Pontoon PowerDrive™ 70 Trolling Motor w/Foot Pedal - 24V - 70LB - 48" Product Description

Imagine gliding silently across the lake on your pontoon boat, effortlessly positioning for that perfect cast without disturbing the water or the fish. The Minn Kota Pontoon PowerDrive 70 delivers exactly that kind of reliable, whisper-quiet performance tailored for pontoon owners who demand all-day control and convenience. With its robust 70-pound thrust and 48-inch shaft, this 24-volt electric-steer motor handles moderate winds and currents on freshwater lakes, keeping you dialed in whether you're trolling for walleye or drifting for crappie.

Effortless Deployment and Stowage for Pontoon Life

Pontoon decks demand motors that install fast and stow without hassle. The Deploy-Assist Lever makes dropping the prop into the water a one-handed operation—simply press down to deploy, and it secures firmly when stowed. Paired with the included Aluminum Quick Release Bracket, you can detach the entire unit in seconds for trailering or storage, protecting your investment and freeing up deck space for family gatherings. This setup shines on pontoons where space is at a premium and quick transitions between fishing spots and cruising matter most.

Precise Control at Your Feet

The PowerDrive Foot Pedal puts intuitive command right under your boot. This waterproof pedal with an 18-foot cord lets you steer side-to-side, adjust variable speeds, and toggle momentary or constant on/off without taking your eyes off the sonar screen. Power Steering ensures smooth, responsive turns, while the built-in AutoPilot feature holds your heading automatically—ideal for maintaining a consistent troll speed when multiple rods are out. Anglers love how it frees hands for fighting fish or sipping a drink.

Maximized Battery Life for Extended Outings

Nothing kills a fishing trip faster than a dead battery. That's where Digital Maximizer technology steps in, intelligently managing power output to extend runtime up to five times longer than standard motors. It dials in precisely the thrust you need, whether idling quietly or pushing against chop. A quick glance at the Push-to-Test Battery Meter gives you real-time charge status, so you can plan your day without surprises. On a full 24-volt setup, expect hours of steady operation, even in demanding conditions.

Built Tough for Real-World Fishing

Crafted for freshwater abuse, this motor features an indestructible composite shaft—backed by a lifetime guarantee—that flexes under impacts from logs or docks but never breaks. The Power Prop slices through weeds and heavy loads with authority, providing that extra kick in open water or when fully loaded with gear. Minn Kota's cool-running, quiet lower unit means less vibration, longer life, and no spooking nearby fish. It's electric-steer reliability in a bow-mount design perfect for pontoons.

Tips for Getting the Most from Your PowerDrive 70

To optimize performance, mount it securely on the bow using the bolt-on hardware, ensuring the 48-inch shaft reaches optimal prop depth. Pair with deep-cycle marine batteries rated for trolling motors, and check connections before each trip. In weedy areas, the Power Prop sheds debris effortlessly, but a quick rinse with freshwater post-use keeps it spinning smooth. Many pontoon captains add LED lights to the pedal cord for night fishing, enhancing visibility without added complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Minn Kota Pontoon PowerDrive 70 suitable for saltwater use?

No, this model is optimized for freshwater environments like lakes and rivers. For saltwater, consider Minn Kota's corrosion-resistant options.

How does AutoPilot work on this trolling motor?

AutoPilot automatically steers to maintain your selected compass heading, helping you hold a straight line or consistent troll path without constant pedal adjustments.

What battery setup does the 24V PowerDrive 70 require?

It runs on two 12-volt deep-cycle batteries wired in series for 24 volts. Use marine-rated batteries with at least 100Ah capacity for best results.

Can I upgrade the prop on this motor for heavier weeds?

Yes, the MKP-37 Power Prop is standard, but Minn Kota offers weedless props like the Edge or I-Pilot Link series for thicker vegetation if needed.

Does the foot pedal work well in rough water on a pontoon?

Absolutely. The waterproof, side-to-side electric pedal is responsive and durable, with Power Steering smoothing out turns even in choppy conditions.

How easy is it to remove the motor for winter storage?

Very easy—the Aluminum Quick Release Bracket allows tool-free detachment in under a minute, making it pontoon-friendly for off-season prep.

What's the max amp draw, and does it affect battery choice?

Max draw is 42 amps at full thrust. Digital Maximizer keeps average draw lower, but select batteries with sufficient cold cranking amps for reliable starts.
