>> Minn Kota V2 Pontoon 68 Trolling Motor
After lots of research and searching I finally decided to buy a trolling motor for my 29 year old 24 pontoon boat and chose the Minn Kota V2 68 24v I ve used it 3 times now so this is a newby talking The resource info at Minn Kota the sales outlets and blogs addressed my questions and the trolling motor is much as I expected I am satisfied Things I like 3 year warranty 18 cord on foot pedal variable speed quick launch quick release came with everything needed to mount it except batteries of course clear instructions installed it by myself everything works no problems Disappointments quick release mounting isn t fully stable when running motor at full speed causing vibration that can only be controlled by reducing speed or going straight as ANY direction change causes vibration and foot pedal steering sensitivity that is very difficult to master meaning I am either oversteering or getting no turning at all when I try for small direction changes Maybe over time I ll get where I can actually control where I am going Otherwise seems well made and solid
>> Great on our Pontoon Boat
After mounting this unit on our 21 foot Fisher pontoon boat and heading to the lake with 20 mph winds I was pleasantly surprised with the results Although not meant to head into a Blue Norther in Oklahoma this unit does an all around respectable job in a variety of situations I have had several bass boats with good trolling motors and this one falls into that category Nice installation hardware included also Hope this is helpful to those searching for a much better than average unit with a longer shaft to accommodate medium sized pontoon boats
