Specifications

• Available Thrust and Voltage Options
  • The Maxxum is available in 55 lbs, 70 lbs and 80 lbs of thrust. The 55 lb thrust motors are 12 volts. The 70 lbs and 80 lbs thrust motors are 24 volts.
• Available Shaft Lengths
  • The Maxxum is available in shaft lengths of 45", 52", and 62". The shaft on the Maxxum cannot be lengthened as it would be cost prohibitive. The shaft can be shortened. If the shaft is shortened at an Authorized Service Center, it will not void your warranty. If the shaft is shortened outside of an Authorized Service Center, the warranty will be voided.
• Motor Control Options
  • The Maxxum is controlled with either a foot pedal or a hand control tiller.
• Mounting Holes
  • All Maxxums have the same mounting hole patterns as our cable-steer motors for easy interchangeability between cable-steer trolling motors.
• Shipping Weight
