About Us
In 1934, O.G. Schmidt invented the first gear-driven electric trolling motor in Fargo, North Dakota. The idea took off with anglers looking for more boat control, and Schmidt named the growing company for the land he called home: in the heart of fishing country, on the MINNesota-North DaKOTA border, Minn Kota was born.
Since then, we haven’t stopped evolving and innovating. From foot pedals to composite shafts, and variable speed controls to GPS-controlled trolling motors.
Today, our trolling motors help you plow through stump fields while our i-Pilot systems control your boat at the push of a button. Our Talon shallow water anchors lock you to a fishing spot like nothing else. We make marine battery chargers that keep everything running from sunrise to sundown, day after day, year after year. And with a full line of Minn Kota parts and accessories to support it all, we’ve got your back.

Pro's: 1.Battery can be charged from the outside post. Thus you never have to open the top of the case.
2. Power gauge/meter is a great feature.
3.The 2 DC outlets work great. Before I bought this power center I connected a DC outlet to my battery and it fried my charger. No issues with this thus far.
4. Case is rather sturdy and built of decent quality.
Con's: 1. Battery gauge/meter only works accurately if the motor has been off for 60 seconds. This is written on the box itself. Not a big deal but it would be nice if you could test the battery while the motor is running.
2. As some have commented I wish the top snapped onto the bottom of the box. The strap is what is used to connect the bottom and top box together. It doesn't feel secure so I just grab the box by the bottom of the box. Not a big deal.
Overall, this product is excellent. The con's are me just nit picking and for the price this is a no brainer. I did several hours of researching this type of product and buying the componets seperately. This is the best product that I could find that has everything you need and is the best overall value I could find. Hope that helps.
Battery Info: For those individuals who where wondering about 27 batteries and bigger fitting into this product.
This Minn Kota Power Center fits my EverStart 29DC Marine Battery from Wal-Mart. However, it is a tight fit and this case would not hold anything much bigger. Many have commented that this only fits 27 batteries or smaller but this is not true. Wal-Mart lists the dimensions of my 29DC battery at 13 inches x 6.75 X 10 (L x W x H). I am not recommending getting a 29 size battery and Minn Kota only rates this to fit 27 or smaller sized batteries but this product is excellent considering the price point. Closing the top on the 29DC battery takes a little caress but this is not an issue since you never really have to take off the top cover since you can charge the battery from the outside posts.
The power center came in handy during the power outage and I was able to use it in conjunction with an inverter to keep my family's cell phones charged and to power our computers and wireless router. This made the two days pass easier.
Some things to keep in mind:
(1) Don't attempt to lift the power center by the top handle with a battery installed. My series 29 battery weighs 60 pounds and the strap and top handle simply won't handle this weight. You will lose your foot when the battery falls on it. Use two hands to hold the power center by the two side handles on each end.
(2) When lifting by the side handles, a pair of gloves will prevent the sharp edges of the plastic from digging into your hands and causing injury.
(3) This box would be better if it was made out of heavier, tougher plastic and better yet if made out of aluminum.
(4) Use a ratchet strap in place of the provided cinch strap. The ratchet strap won't work loose, but even so, still don't lift the battery box by the top handle with a battery installed. See point (1).
(5) It is nice to be able to charge the battery without removing the lid of the power center.
(6) Built-in circuit breakers for trolling motor and accessories make this a good value although it is still pricey.
(7) The power center is designed to prevent accidental shock by providing insulated wingnuts on the battery terminals. This is a good design and it could save your life.
If used as intended, this power center makes a very handy trolling motor battery box for a small boat. It is also now part of my emergency preparedness equipment kit since it functions nicely as an emergency power center during a power outage.
I will update this review if I experience any product defects after further use.
If you're on the fence and wondering if this power center is worth the money, I think it is. Go ahead and buy it as I am getting my money's worth.
