Minn Kota PowerDrive – Bow-Mount Freshwater Trolling Motor
The PowerDrive 70 lb. is built for freshwater anglers who need serious thrust and the freedom of wireless control. With 70 lbs. of pushing power on a 24V system and a Micro Remote that fits in your palm, this motor handles big water, heavy current, and larger hulls without asking you to take your hands off the rod. It’s the same proven PowerDrive platform — reliable, quiet, and built to last — with the added convenience of remote steering.
Key Features
- Micro Remote – Compact handheld remote for wireless speed and steering control; keeps your hands free while fishing
- Deploy-Assist Lever – Raises and lowers the motor with one hand for fast, easy deployment from the bow
- Digital Maximizer™ – Draws only the power you need, delivering up to 5× longer run time per battery charge compared to non-digital motors
- Push-to-Test Battery Meter – Instant charge-level readout directly on the motor head
- Power Prop – Engineered for open-water performance and pushing through current or light vegetation
- Indestructible Composite Shaft – Guaranteed for life; flexes on impact and returns to true without bending or breaking
- Cool, Quiet Lower Unit – Runs cooler than conventional motors to extend service life and minimize noise on the water
Compatible Applications
- Freshwater bass boats, walleye boats, and larger aluminum or fiberglass fishing boats
- Bow-mount installations on boats in the 18–22 ft range (depending on conditions and hull weight)
- Dual 12V deep-cycle marine battery systems wired in series for 24V
- Anglers who prefer wireless Micro Remote control over a foot pedal

Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This is the right configuration for customers who want the reliability of the PowerDrive platform with the convenience of wireless control — particularly useful on larger boats where running a foot pedal cable across the deck is awkward, or for anglers who fish from a seat rather than standing at the bow. The 70 lb. thrust and 24V system make it well-suited to heavier fiberglass hulls and open-water conditions where the 55 lb. models may feel underpowered.
- Requires two 12V deep-cycle marine batteries wired in series — confirm the customer has a 24V-ready electrical system before purchase
- The Micro Remote is included; no additional remote purchase needed
- If the customer also wants sonar integration, the PowerDrive 70 lb. with CHIRP Sonar adds Humminbird CHIRP transducer capability
- For GPS anchor-lock or i-Pilot functionality, step up to the Terrova or Ultrex series
- The composite shaft is lifetime-guaranteed — no replacement shaft stocking required
