Minn Kota Maxxum® 70/BG Freshwater - Bow Mount - Trolling Motor - 24V-70lb-42"

Dominate the Water with Unmatched Power and Precision

Picture this: you're out on the lake at first light, targeting bass in heavy cover, and your trolling motor powers through without skipping a beat. The Minn Kota Maxxum 70/BG freshwater bow mount trolling motor delivers exactly that kind of reliability. With 70 pounds of thrust and a 42-inch shaft, it's engineered for serious anglers who demand control in rough waters, stump-filled shallows, or weed-choked bays. This isn't just a motor—it's your edge in tournaments or everyday adventures, blending brute force with smart efficiency.

Tournament-Proven Maxxum Mount for Battle-Ready Performance

The Maxxum mount stands up to the harshest conditions, plowing through obstacles that would sideline lesser motors. When stowed, it locks down solid—no flexing, no vibrations, just rock-steady confidence. Anglers who've run it through stump fields swear by its toughness, letting you focus on the fish instead of the gear.

Bowguard 360°: Impact Protection That Resets and Repeats

Collisions happen—logs, rocks, docks. The Bowguard 360° absorbs hits from any angle, breaks away safely, and snaps back into place automatically. Its dual-bearing design keeps things whisper-quiet, and you can pop it off in seconds for transport or storage. It's like having a built-in safety net that keeps your sessions uninterrupted.

Heel-Toe Foot Pedal: Intuitive Control at Your Feet

Feel every nuance of the water with the ultra-responsive cable-steer foot pedal. Heel-toe steering gives pinpoint precision, while variable speed control lets you dial in exactly what you need. The 5-foot cable and ergonomic build mean no fumbling, even in choppy conditions—perfect for keeping your eyes on the sonar or the strike zone.

Cut Through Vegetation Effortlessly with Weedless Wedge 2 Prop

Weeds don't stand a chance against the swept-back, flared blades of the Weedless Wedge 2 prop (MKP-32). It slices through thick grass and milfoil without bogging down or draining your battery on constant chopping. Real-world testers in lily pad mazes report smoother runs and longer outings, preserving power for those marathon days.

Built to Last: Indestructible Composite Shaft and Cool-Running Power

Minn Kota's composite shaft flexes on impact but never breaks, kinks, or corrodes—backed by a lifetime guarantee. Pair that with oversized windings and a friction-cutting bearing system for operation that's cooler, quieter, and easier on batteries. The Digital Maximizer™ tech squeezes up to five times more runtime from each charge by matching power to your exact needs, so you're not left dead-sticking at dusk.

Stay Oriented with Illuminated Directional Indicator

Low light? Foggy mornings? The built-in illuminated arrow on the motor head glows bright, showing your heading at a glance. No more guesswork— just seamless navigation from dawn patrol to last light.

Rinse with fresh water after brackish trips to protect the shaft. Match your battery bank to 24V for optimal thrust, and store the pedal disconnected to extend cable life. Anglers often pair it with dual deep-cycle batteries for all-day power without compromise.
