Location: Elkhorn, WI | I'm looking at buying a 4-5 year old Minn Kota Power Drive 80lb with Copilot. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences to share? I hate to buy something if it has a history of being problematic. Thanks. |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I have had a powerdrive on the last two boats and for the first time in 6 years on this particular powerdrive, I had to replace the foot pedal. The last one was 5 years old when I sold the boat, and it was still working fine. Both of the boats were on the water a minimum of 70 days each year...

Location: Madison Wi. Chain | I have the same trolling motor and love it. It is 5 years old. I use the wrist control, so I avoid any issues with the foot pedals. Still working great. BG |
