Johnson Outdoors MinnKota E-Drive Primary Propulsion Electric Motor Feature
- Realtime digital battery gauge
- Clean Built to run up to 2 hours at 100% on a single charge
- Features a special tilt-lock mechanism for safe and secure trailering
- No fumes, no emissions no gas
- Features key switch for added safety
Ideal for lakes and other closed bodies of water where gasoline and noise restrictions apply, Minn Kota's E-Drive Electric Outboard motor delivers 2-horsepower energy without the fumes or emissions of gasoline. This quiet and efficient motor will move a full-sized pontoon boat up to 5 miles per hour and can run for up to 2 hours at 100 percent on a single charge.
The E-Drive Motor comes with a bolt-on transom mount that connects directly to your boat's standard cable linkage and that includes a special tilt-lock mechanism for safe and secure trailering. The motor features a Electric Throttle Control for ultra-response ease of use, allowing you to control forward/neutral/reverse positions with your fingertip. The motor's Digital Maximizer optimizes draw to extend the battery life and reduce damaging heat for up to five times more runtime on a single charge. In combination with Minn Kota's signature, cool, quiet power, the fish will never know you are coming.
Additional features that distinguish the E-Drive from the competition include a realtime battery gauge ensuring that you never get stranded, the tilt gauge providing an instant readout of motor position, the E-Drive tiller for convenient control, and the intelligently designed Minn Kota Actuators that operate smoothly, quietly, and dependently and feature the industry's highest IP68 waterproof rating. Built to last, the E-Drive Electric Motor is backed by a two-year warranty from Minn Kota.

Features:
- Digital Maximizer: The Digital Maximizer optimizes draw to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat--helping you stay on the water up to five time longer on a single charge. By regulating power, the Digital Maximizer delivers the precise amount of power needed at any speed with rapid on/off switching from the battery connection to control speed more efficiently than speed coils can. If 'on' time is longer compared to 'off,' the motor receives more power. If 'off' time is longer, the motor gets less power. Since there is minimal power lost to accomplish this, the overall motor is very efficient. With variable speed control, the Digital Maximizer allows for proper speeds to be set and maintained while trolling lures for proper presentation. Fine-tuned speed adjustments and virtual speed adjustments allow the user to control boat speed more effectively in changing environments.
- Electronic Throttle Control: The ultra-responsive throttle lever delivers fingertip control with forward/neutral/reverse positions and push-button tilt up/down. The throttle mounts either on the binnacle or side mount at the cockpit, and features a key switch for added safety.
- Bolt-on Transom Mount: Minn Kota's standard E-Drive motor features a bolt-on transom bracket that includes a power tilt mechanism and a built-in breakaway mount that protects the motor from underwater hazards.
- Tilt Gauge: A dash-mounted tilt gauge provides an instant readout of motor position.
- E-Drive Tiller: The E-Drive Tiller model allows for comfortable, convenient control with its exclusive Tilt Tiller.
- Minn Kota Actuators: E-Drive models are powered by intelligently designed actuators with 12V DC motors. They operate smoothly, quietly and dependably, and also feature the industry's highest IP68 waterproof rating.
- Realtime Battery Gauge: Instantly see how many hours of runtime you have left on your battery with this realtime, back-lit gauge. It also features a fuel gauge showing battery condition, as well as throttle power level.
- Stainless Steel Prop: A special sheer pin protects this stainless steel prop from damage when encountering underwater obstacles. The prop also features a replaceable, hub-mounted zinc anode to fight galvanic corrosion.
- Cool, Quiet Power: No motors runs cooler or more quietly than a Minn Kota does. The Minn Kota is constructed with extra large windings and commutators to dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. Minn Kota's unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise--making the motor so quiet, they'll never hear you coming.
About Minn Kota:
With over 75 years of innovation and power on the water, Minn Kota Motors has been delivering some of the best-built trolling motors in the world for three quarters of a century. Beginning in 1934 in Fargo, North Dakota, Minn Kota began with Mr. O. G. Schmidt's invention of the trolling motor. Because of its proximity to the MINNesota--North DaKOTA border, The Minn Kota Manufacturing Company name was born. Since its founding, Minn Kota has led the way in product innovation and cutting-edge technology with a long list of 'firsts' that include: first electric gear-driven motor (1934); first electric motor with reverse switch (1965); first built-in electronic/variable speed control (1986); first computer-controlled motor, first self-steering unit (AutoPilot) (1991); first fully automatic trolling motor (Genesis) (1999); and first DualBeam integrated transducer - 83kHz/200kHz with temperature sensing (Universal Sonar 2) (2007) among numerous other innovations in its 75 years of business.Manufacturer Warranty
