This system dissipates heat even under extreme operating conditions. Motor components (winding, commutator) are dimensioned to generate less heat and reduce propeller rotation noise. This also extends motor life.
Coupled with the Digital Maximizer inverter, which regulates the motor's power output and precisely adjusts the boat's speed, your Minn Kota PowerDrive GPS bow motor considerably reduces power consumption and extends the life of your battery.

What is the motor shaft length ?
It's important to choose the right shaft length for your Minn Kota motor. If it's too short, the propeller won't be sufficiently immersed and won't be mounted correctly. Comptoir Nautique recommends :
- Measure the distance between the bow and the waterline.
- Add 10 cm to the waterline measurement for rough water fishing.
- Add 30 cm to the waterline measurement to steer a hand-operated motor while standing in the boat.
