MinnKota Powerdrive V2

[K.Kiser]

Looking at maybe putting a trolling motor on the xb02... Looking at something in the 45-55lbs. thrust range with foot control... Anybody tried the V2 that steers electrically..? I love the concept because I don't care for heavy pedals and overswing, but not sure how the electric steering system holds up to a few knocks or if it drains a battery noticeable quicker.. Don't want a hand control...

The 45-55lbs thrust minnkota EDGE would my other option.. It's a traditional foot control 24v... What's ya'lls thoughts.?

It is harder to be exact with the electrical pedals. I've had a couple on different boat and I always seem to have more control with a manual foot pedal. The newer ones may be better, the one that I have on a saltwater boat is about 4 years old (and been in the shop about 4 times)

I have one on a 16 foot sylvan, works good.

The 55 Edge is a 12v. Perfect for an XB2002!
