Digital Maximizer
Conventional trolling motor design (speed coil technology) delivers a constant, steady flow of power to the motor, regardless of the speed setting. This constant flow results in wasted power and excessive heat – both of which reduce your time on the water and the life of your motor. And with speed coil technology, you are limited to a pre-determined number of speed settings.
Minn Kota® variable speed motors utilize our exclusive Maximizer™ technology to deliver the precise amount of power needed at any speed, along with variable speed settings. You get the ability to “dial up” the precise speed setting you desire, regulating the amount of power delivered to your motor so it runs cooler with no wasted power. And now, our advanced, digital microprocessing optimizes draw to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. Get up to five times longer run time on a single charge.
EM option
EM electronics is the Maximizer housed in a fully waterproof control module to be mounted below the deck of the kayak. All electronics are sealed in marine-grade polyurethane to provide corrosion-proof protection. The extruded aluminum housing features specially designed fins that dissipate heat to keep things cool under high rpm use. Control the speed of your EM equiped kayak with an corded remote that can be mounted or handheld. Offers infinitely variable speed control in forward and reverse. Features neutral (off) detent position. This is the "Best of the Best" and should be considered if you are concerned about run time
