lineman49 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Minn Kota power drive for sale Listing for a friend. A Minn Kota power drive; 55 # thrust; 54" shaft; 12 volts; It has a foot pedal with a 20' cable & comes with mounting hardware. It is in excellent condition. This unit "Cannot be upgraded" to an I-Pilot system. Asking $285 , he is only selling it because he upgraded to an I-pilot himself. Prefer local pick up in the buffalo, NY area but might meet 1/2 way. Let me know! Thanks
Jerry Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 fyi it can be upgraded to I-pilot, all you gotta do is install a new motherboard for a powerdrive v2. I just did this to my old powerdrive it's a 2002 model n it works great.
lineman49 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Posted April 4, 2017 He looked into it & was told this one is an older model & cannot be upgraded. That is why he got a new one. He was in contact with Minn Kota Co. & that is what he was told.
Jerry Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Yeah I know that's what they say but with a little research I was able to do it extremely easily.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Jerry Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 No soldering, just crimp connectors and shrink tube that comes with it. The I-pilot itself is $500 and the motherboard was $100.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United
