Easy to install and easy to use. Runs great ,,durable. I've had 6 or more Minn-kota trolling motors. Other guys I know with other brands have had problems and I haven't. I've up graded for size or new boat and type of fishing.

This thing is amazing. It chews through grass better than any lawnmower, and pulls my boat like nothing I've ever seen. It was a breeze to install, as the mounting holes matched up perfectly with the old motorguide mounting holes. My only complaint so far is that the instruction manual is lacking detailed specifications, mainly the amperage draw. I've only used it one time so far, but I have very high hopes for this Trolling Motor.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by smallmouthno1 Happy with service provided
I knew before I ordered the Minnekota Maxxum Bow Mount 70 lb thrust motor that I would like it as I have fished with a friend who owns the 80 lb thrust. I only gave it a 4 rating as I have only used it 3 times to date.
The main thing I would like to review is the service I got from Bass Pro. I ordered the item by phone and was told I would receive the item in about 10 days. But three days later I had the trolling motor. This allowed me to have it mounted and on the boat for the weekend. Thank you Bass Pro for handling the shipping in an orderly fashion.

After much deliberation and reading hundreds of reviews I selected the Minkota Maxxum over aMotorguide. This Maxxum is the most powerful trolling motor I have ever used. First day out we had gusting winds for most of the day. I had no problem controlling my boat and used the trolling motor four six and a half hours with no let-down. I hit a couple of stumps quite by accident but never had an interruption. I have been extremely surprised and happy with this purchase.

A:Â
It should not cause any electonic interference. However, if it does it might be from the battery for the trolling motor and sonar unit. Here is what I found online: The solution in my casewhere there are two 12 volt batterys and the change to 24 volt occurs at the
plug in and NOT AT THE BATTERIES is to run a light 14-18ga wire from each of the negitive termals on your trolling motor batteries to your negitive termanal of your starting battery. Fuse each wire with 2-3 amp fuse. I hope this helps. Thanks

The details or discription does not mention lift assist, is this standard, if not where can I find this to install?Answers
A:Â
Mine does not have any lift assist - you have to pull it up with a cord. It also needs to be turned slightly by hand to stow it properly.Details:Â
I am going to buy a maxxum trolling motor but i want to know what is the variable speed.Answers
A:Â
Variable speed allows you to adjust the speed from 0 to 100 percent vice having just five speeds. It allows you to go super slow or full speed. It's like a dimmer switch on your lights in your home.
A:Â
Variable speed could be compared to a rotary dimmer switch you may have on the wall in your house; a smooth turning wheel in the foot pedal without definite "clicks". Non-variable is normally a 5 set speed motor with a set point for each speed or 5 "clicks". Minn Kota also incorporates the Maximizer into the variable speed units which is supposed to prolong battery life by pulsing power to the motor. I believe the non-variable units do not have the maximizer and the soft start feature.Details:Â
Does the soft start feature of the Maximizer hinder blowing weeds and grass off the prop? I can see drifting into some green stuff and when you hit the pedal to move, there isn't enough spin to get the grass to fly off. I've heard this mentioned as an issue but don't know if it's true...Answers
A:Â
Yes it does hinder your escape if you are fishing in vegetation such as lilly pads. I have been fishing the maxxum series for years and the only advantage i have found was the extended battery use. I have already replaced one of my minn kotas and will replace another one this spring. hope this helpsDetails:Â
I have a Motorguide 12v Pro Series TM bow mount. Will the Maxxum mount fit the Motorguide holes by any chance. Also, can the Maxxum use existing wiring.Answers
A:Â
my unit "did not".Details:Â
I have 12 voit system now, I'd like to move up to a 24 system..What type of wiring to use..Is the 24 voit a 3 wire system, the 12 voit is only 2 wires. What size wire is recommended for the 24 voits..such as A #12, or #14 size wire..what size fuse to use..Answers
A:Â
depends on the length you have to pull. in most applications #10(multi strand) will suffice. with a motor that is 12/24 you will need three strands and with a straight 24 and 2 strand #10 is all you will need. always remember that DC current requires heavier conductors than AC current.A:Â
Some 24V systems use a three wire if the motor is designed to be either 12V or 24V otherwise the 24V is usually a two wire. You should be considering a heavier gauge than 12 or 14 even though you actually have a lower amperage load with the 24V than the 12V. Ohms law is relative here with the lower amperage as well as the line drop in voltage you will have coming from the batteries to the motor which at times could be near 19 - 20 feet depending on the boat. Many rigs see at least 8 ga. or 6 ga. to compensate for the line drop which should not exceed 5% in voltage to the motorAnswers
A:Â
Yes. On mine it's a toggle switch on the left side of the control. Has to be changed by hand. Constant turns the motor on but you still can control the speed with the dial on the footpad. Manual allows on and off as you press the button on the footpad at whatever speed is set on the dial.A:Â
Yes, on the side of the foot pedal.A:Â
