Can this motor be used with a deep v 17ft tracker boat?

Yep. That's exactly what I mounted mine on. More than enough power for this light boat but install was a little awkward. Took one weekend to install.

As far as I can tell, it is the same as the Powerdrive V2 (no pontoon discussion) with an additional plate that is mounted to the deck for easy removal for pontoons. It also is not an autopilot.It works wonderfully with my 18ft deep-V Alumacraft.

It can but this model is for a pontoon where you stand over the unit and stomp on the lever to deploy. The other has a string and spring pull method that is much better suited for deep V's.

Most likely. Do NOT use it for a large motor. It broke in half the first time I used it on my Verado 175. You can probly find a better product for about the same price with about any other brand.

With a lot of help I was able to use this control along with some parts off of the old control and quite a bit of modification to make it work on a 16' Bass Tracker fishing boat. I would not recommend it.

I believe it should work, I installed this on my 21' seaswirl with 150 hp 2 stroke Johnson, works well, I could have gone with the Baystar but the 150 hp was at the limit for the Baystar

Motor & wiring with 8 gage wire and spade fittings, owners manual provided. You will need: 24 volt system (2 -12v batteries in series (w/8 gage wire), boxes, room in boat), circuit breaker(s)w/ many different setups, secure transom mount that won't damage boat; optional quick connect fittings for batteries, wing nuts(?), charging system (w/its own many options - onboard is better). Maintaining the batteries is a big job with this motor. If backtrolling, turn motor head around. Comfortable place to sit and operate motor and optional neck brace and seat belts for quick surges! See MinnKota web site for more. You're just getting started, bud. But it does have the power for my 17 ft Fisher!

Yes. I used mine on a large lake with a 14' aluminum row boat, and it was more than adequate. The only issue is will your boat handle the 45 lb. battery?

Mine is on a 14ft ali with 18 hp and holds contact. Much depends on correct placement of the transducer. It is cheap and brilliant for small boats. My son has his with a 35hp and it breaks contact at full speed. We know the area and reduce speed in interesting territory.

Sure, as long as the boat has a motor mount and you can reach the handle guide

Yes,I believe that small a motor would be no problem. Just keep in mind that there is no rudder board, or anything that could control speed/direction beyond a trolling action.

You need to research the parts on your motor or call a local marine mechanic and he would be able to tell you if it will work.

I used it on a 16.5 Sea Nymph boat. For the budget, this one will do the job. I recently added 3 new batteries in and it still did great except on a windy day where there were strong current. I would lost speed to half at 100% power. If your boat, passengers, and gears is less than 1000 lbs, you will be more than fine. Once you exceed that weight, the you will lost speed and power under strong current and winds.

I imagine it depends on the boat, but in most cases I'd have to say yes. I have a 17' Bass Tracker. I was able to position it to rest right behind the 3 main seats. I'm very pleased with it. It makes a world of a difference in the summer sun! Easy to install. I used 5/16" self tappers to fasten to the aluminum edge.Highly recommend

No. I have a 15' Deep V Tracker and it works great..I purchased the Co-pilot and it is a nice feature.

Wow...Classic Motor! I use mine for a Minnkota trolling motor on my INTEX SEAHAWK inflatable boat, and it supports it just fine. It's adjustable, so I don't see why it wouldn't support your very cool motor. If you get it, please post your results.

I have one with a 2.5 horsepower motor that pushes this boat pretty well. Its not a race boat but probably moves it around 10 knots or so. 3.5 horsepower motor should do even better. Like the product.

I don't believe it will work for you because it attaches to a Minn Kota Trolling motor's universal sonar port. It's simply for use in connecting a fish finder to a universal built in sonar transducer in the bottom of the Minn Kota Power head.

I don't have that boat, but looking at it and the optional motor mount available, it should work fine. Mine is on an old Coleman Crawdad and I love it.
