AutoPilot™
Minn Kota's patented AutoPilot navigation system is just what you need to spend less time steering your boat and more time
catching fish. Simply put, AutoPilot keeps your pursuit of trophy fish headed in the right direction. AutoPilot (available on PowerDrive
and Riptide motors) is like having a navigator in the boat, allowing you to concentrate on making that next cast rather than continuously
repositioning your boat. When activated, AutoPilot takes over the steering of your boat and keeps you headed in the direction you want to
travel, even under high winds or heavy chop. With AutoPilot, there's no need to manually adjust your motor to maintain your desired
heading.
AutoPilot utilizes a patented, state-of-the-art compass system that locks on to a particular heading and automatically and
continuously makes adjustments to keep your boat moving in that direction. To use AutoPilot, simply point the motor head in the direction
you want to travel and AutoPilot takes over from there. It's that easy. Beyond its navigational ease and convenience, AutoPilot also helps
you catch more fish. You can use AutoPilot in a variety of ways to keep you positioned in the strike zone.
To troll parallel to the shoreline, point the motor head at a distant
landmark along a parallel line to the shore. AutoPilot will mainain that
heading until you choose to change or adjust your desired line.
To troll along a current line or over a shelf or ledge, point the motor
head at a landmark in the distance. The motor will automatically pull
the boat along the desired line. Should wind or waves cause the boat
to drift, the motor will make automatic adjustments to continue to pull
the boat to the desired landmark.
AutoPilot
can be used to run "in place," ideal for hovering
over schooling fish. Depending upon conditions, you can adjust the
speed of your motor against the wind, waves or current. The AutoPilot function
will keep your boat headed in the same direction, allowing you to hover "in
place" over a desired area.
AutoPilot can be used to
repeat a productive troll. At the end of a
run, rotate the motor head 180 degrees. AutoPilot will swing the boat
completely around and take you back along the exact same course.
Universal Sonar
Here's where form and function come together in a unique and eye-catching
way. With Universal Sonar, a state-of-the-art, integrated and protected
transducer is built into the lower unit of the motor. Out of sight. Out
of harm's way from things that go bump in the dark. All wiring
runs up and inside the indestructible composite shaft. No clamps. No
ties. No exposed connections. With Universal Sonar, your sensitive "view" to
the bottom is fully protected. Say "goodbye" to unsightly wires, ties and clamps, and protect
your sensitive fish-finding equipment. With Universal Sonar, the transducer
is built into the lower unit, concealed and out of harm's way. All wiring
runs inside the motor shaft for a clean look. No rigging required.
Universal Sonar 2
Minn Kota has improved on the original Universal Sonar. Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature sensing - compatible with all
major fishfinder brands - and the performance of dual beam technology (available with all Humminbird® DualBeam Plus™ models and
select Lowrance® and Garmin® models). An expanded view and greater bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water
below.
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
infinitely variable speed settings. You get the ability to "dial
up" the precise speed setting you desire and your motor runs cooler
with no wasted power. By properly regulating the amount of power that
is delivered to your motor, you get up to five times longer run time
on a single charge.
