Good purchase,worth it.Wrestled between motor guide and minnkota for a month. Top two reasons I went with minnkota 24v/65 maxxum were rock solid mount(it is) and maximizer variable speed. Batteries use to drop 50 percent with old omc42 lb/24v. Now only 25 percent on a 10 hr day. Noise is alittle more than omc. I have caught 6# bass in 3 feet of water only 25 feet away. Bass can hear a crawfish moving, hearing a trolling motor is a given. Doesn't seem to matter. Plenty of power for my 17.5 ft Hydra sport.

warningIf you buy the 55lb, 12v model the motor will not look like it is pictured. I bought this thinking I had plenty room for my graph transducer and that's not the case. It has the fin on the end opposite the blade and its much larger than pictured. 1 hour drive to buy this only to find out it won't work.

Five months of use and this motor has been greatBought this in May 2018 to replace a Motorguide 65 lb thrust on my bass boat. Used the Motorguide X3 for two seasons, and it had been a problem from day one. Noisy, weak mounting bracket, very tight steering, and noisy motor. So far, the Minnkota Maxxum has been great. It is quiet, the mounting bracket is strong and holds the motor firmly in place, and it just outperforms the Motorguide in pretty much every respect. I like the infinitely adjustable speed control, versus the five fixed speeds on the Motorguide, and the Minnkota just seems to have a bit more torque. I like the way the Minnkota has a bit of a gradual start up when I push the on button, and the steering is smooth and just the right tension to enable easy changing of direction, yet holds the motor in place when I take my foot off the pedal. I am very satisfied with this trolling and after being a Motorguide user for 21 years, I am a Minnkota convert. Motorguide has apparently lowered their standards the past few years, and it shows. For a good all-around trolling motor, at a reasonable price point, I recommend this motor to anyone needing a trolling motor in the 55-70 pound thrust range. I don;t think you'll be disappointed.

In the repair shop more than the waterPurchased this in April it's been in the repair shop 2 times with bad bearings, very disappointed with Minn Kota quality. Spend a little more money and buy a Motorguide and maybe you won't be stuck in 2 tournaments without a motor!

Trolling Motor UpgradeI own a Ranger RT178 bass boat and wanted to upgrade the Edge 45 lb thrust trolling motor that came with the boat from the factory. The 55 lb Maxxum trolling motor was easy to install and is enough to power my boat without the extra cost of using a 24 V system. The new motor is much smoother than the Edge and was a great upgrade to my boat.

Maxxum trolling motorVery disappointed in the trolling motor. When on the momentum cycle the start button on the foot pedal works less than half the time. At $632.00 this is very unacceptable.

I have a Ranger RT188(18’8”” aluminum)bass boat. It currently has a MK Edge 70 pound thrust. How would the Maxxum 65 compare? Would it be sufficient for my boat?
Asked by: DJFlats
65 should still be sufficient if you're not having issues with power out of the 70.

The Max 65 is a 24 volt two wire system depending on the plug you have it might accept just the two wires."

I have a 1999 ProCeaft 180 Combo Fish and Ski. It has a Motor Guide 67lb thrust 12/24 volt trolling motor. The mount is 5” wide and 24.5” long. Will the 24 Volt Minn Kota Maxxum 65lb thrust mount in the same holes?
Asked by: Smitty79
It would depend on what style MotorGuide. If it is a 'scissor' mount that stows with a rope and handle, then yes, the hole pattern would match a Maxxum 65.

Is this trolling motor strong enough for a TR-186 Bass boat?
Asked by: Hammar
Appropriate thrust is based on overall weight of the boat, gear, people, etc. We recommend at least 2 lbs. of thrust for every 100 lbs. you're trying to move.
