Minn Kota Powerdrive 55_BT - 12v-55lb-54" w/ Free MK-106D On-Board Charger Product Description

Imagine gliding silently across a glassy lake at dawn, positioning your boat exactly where the bass are hiding, all without breaking a sweat. That's the everyday reality with the Minn Kota PowerDrive 55 BT trolling motor. This bow-mount powerhouse combines rugged durability with smart tech, making it a go-to for serious freshwater anglers chasing walleye, crappie, or panfish. Paired with the included MK-106D on-board charger, it ensures you're always ready for extended outings, minimizing downtime and maximizing time on the water.

What sets this setup apart isn't just the specs—it's how it performs in the real world. From thick weed beds to choppy currents, it delivers precise control and whisper-quiet operation, letting you focus on the bite rather than fighting your gear.

Standout Features for Everyday Fishing Adventures

Effortless Deployment and Stowage

The innovative deploy-assist lever makes launching and securing the motor a one-handed job. No more wrestling with heavy gear while your bait warms in the sun. It's especially handy for solo anglers or those with smaller boats, getting you fishing faster.

Intuitive Foot Pedal Control

Redesigned for responsiveness, the foot pedal handles speed adjustments, sharp turns, and on/off functions with precision. The generous 18-foot cord gives you freedom to move around the deck, keeping your eyes on the fish finder.

Bluetooth-Enabled Smart Steering

With built-in Bluetooth (BT) connectivity, pair it seamlessly with the Minn Kota mobile app. Adjust settings, track usage, and even get software updates right from your phone. This wireless edge means less clutter on deck and more customization for your fishing style—perfect for spot-lock alternatives or hands-free maneuvering.

Extended Battery Life with Digital Maximizer

This tech wizard optimizes power draw, stretching a single charge up to five times longer than standard motors. Pair it with the MK-106D charger, which uses microprocessor smarts for multi-stage charging and temperature compensation. It charges twice as fast in warm conditions, protects against overcharging, and displays clear status updates so you never head out with a weak battery.

Weedless Performance and Tough Build

The Weedless Wedge 2 prop slices through vegetation without clogging, powered by swept-back blades that maintain thrust. Backed by an indestructible composite shaft—flexible yet unbreakable—and cool-running motors that stay quiet, it's built to endure rough handling and years of abuse.

  • Freshwater Optimized: 12V, 55 lbs thrust, 54-inch shaft for versatile boat sizes.
  • Power Draw: Up to 50 amps max, with variable speeds forward/reverse.
  • Bonus: Push-to-test battery meter for instant charge checks.

How It Excels in Real Fishing Scenarios

On a typical bass tournament day, the PowerDrive 55 BT shines by holding position in wind or current, thanks to its electric steer precision. Anglers report all-day runtime on deep-cycle batteries, even trolling crankbaits at 2-3 mph. The charger's compact design mounts easily under seats, delivering full charges overnight at the dock or ramp.

For family outings or ice-out crappie runs, the quiet operation won't spook skittish fish, and the easy pedal lets kids or guests take the helm safely. Maintenance is minimal—rinse after salty exposure (though freshwater primary), check prop for nicks, and rely on the lifetime shaft guarantee.

Pro Tips for Peak Performance

  • Mount at the bow's optimal angle for your hull to minimize flex.
  • Balance batteries close to the motor for stable handling.
  • Use the app to fine-tune steering sensitivity for windy days.
  • Store the charger connected for maintenance mode trickle charging.

Is This Trolling Motor Right for Your Boat?

Ideal for 12-16 foot jon boats, bass boats, or pontoons under 2,000 lbs loaded. The 54-inch shaft handles moderate depths without dragging, while 55 lbs thrust punches through mild wind. If you need sonar integration or GPS, consider upgrades, but for straightforward, reliable control, this bundle delivers unbeatable value.

Skip generic big-box motors—invest in Minn Kota's proven engineering that pros trust for consistency.

PowerDrive 55 Trolling Motor - 12V-55lb-54"

ALWAYS DRIVEN.
An updated mount with the same attitude. We rebuilt PowerDrive to make it tougher and sleeker, but it's gonna keep doing what it's always done: show up to the launch ramp, day after day, with big-time technology, trusted power, and easy operation.

Redesigned Mount & Aesthetics
PowerDrive has been redesigned with updated technology, and remodeled to handle the workload that goesalong with it - giving you a stronger mount and bigger brains in a sleeker package.

Deploy-Assist Lever
The deploy-assist lever puts you in motion and in pursuit of fish quickly and easily. Depress the lever to deploy the motor and you're ready to go. When it's time to move, it stows easily and securely - ready for action whenever you are.

Redesigned Foot Pedal
Control speed, steering, and momentary and constant on/off with the newly redesigned, robust foot pedal. Includes 18' cord.

Push-to-Test Battery Meter
The push-to-test battery meter on PowerDrive gives you an instant "state of charge" reading at the push of a button, so you can see just how much longer you have on the water.

Propeller
Weedless Wedge 2: Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™ 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.

Advantage Minn Kota
Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why we're confident enough to guarantee it for life.

Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.

2-Year Warranty
This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.
