Minn Kota PowerDrive 70 Trolling Motor, 24V, 60" Shaft & Foot Pedal – 1358473

The Minn Kota PowerDrive 70, model 1358473, is a freshwater bow-mount trolling motor with 70 lb of thrust, 24V power, and a 60-inch shaft. This version includes a corded electric foot pedal for steering and speed control, keeping your hands available while you work a shoreline or hold your fishing line.

Foot-Pedal Control

• Side-to-side electric steering: Control steering and variable speed with the included PowerDrive pedal.
• Momentary and constant operation: Select motor operation from the pedal.
• Waterproof pedal: Includes an 18-foot cord.

This is the foot-pedal configuration, not the GPS-enabled PowerDrive version. The supplied detailed specifications list no Spot-Lock, i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, CoPilot, wireless remote, or One-Boat Network compatibility.

Deployment and Power Management

• Deploy-Assist lever: Depress the lever to help deploy the motor; stow it manually when moving between locations.
• Digital Maximizer: Variable-speed power management delivers power according to your selected speed to help conserve battery charge. The supplied description advertises up to five times longer runtime; actual runtime depends on operating conditions and battery setup.
• Push-to-test battery meter: Provides an on-demand state-of-charge reading.
• Power Prop: Included MKP-37 propeller.
• Composite shaft: Covered by the manufacturer's stated lifetime shaft guarantee, subject to applicable terms.

AutoPilot: The supplied detailed specifications say “No,” but the separate summary says “Yes.” AutoPilot is not represented here as an included feature. Confirm directly with Minn Kota for model 1358473 if that function is essential to your purchase.
