Great unit, works great, allows good control of boat even in 15mph wind. Great deal at Walmart, check out everywhere, I don't think you can beat the deal.

I bought it in Feb. for the spring. I have an old minn kota & it is now my back up. It is probably 25yr old 24lb thrust. This motor started in fwd. & reverse. Then I shut it off. I don't like to dry run them , it was just a check . It worked in all speeds & reverse & I shut it down. Minn Kota is quiet. I bought the wall mart because Cabellas & Bass Pro was higher. BUT... Bass Pro & Cabella does not sell the 40lb thurst this yr. They went to 45lb thurst. Sooo u r probably buying last years model. I'm sure the fish won't mind. Just an FYI : This is just a rough comparison but 1hp= approx.15lb thurst. So the old model does about the same & u save money

I have not used this troller yet bet the Minn Kota has always proven trustworthy... Now the reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5, I ordered the specified weedless prop and and once I received it it would not fit.. I searched online for all the info and it is the correct prop from everything I had found. I ended up calling Minn Kota and was told that no actually it would not fit the lower range motors, well that is a problem, as I never read anywhere that this is a lower range motor.

Got it on time for Christmas. Haven't taken it on the water yet, but everything looks good so far.

Bought this couple months ago, have been out with it about 6 times. Placed on my 14 ft aluminum boat. Plenty of power and no problems what so ever. Recommended for those who have smaller vessels. Great buy!

I purchased a c2 40 minn kota motor for my 16 ft flat back canoe it pushes it great even in the wind and choppy water so far ive had no problems when paired up to a 105 amp hr deep cycle battery my wife and I love it thanks.

I complained to MK and never got a reply. I've had 3 MK's in last 25yrs, before I bought this one I had a 30lb and it was as fast as this one on high speed and battery last way longer. It died so I bought this 40lb 2 yrs ago, mistake. With 2-12v batteries it will last less than 2 hrs then any headwind it blows off course. And 4th speed stinks, seems like its about 1/3 the speed of 5th, 4th should be about 2/3 the speed of 5th its pretty usless in any wind over 5mph.

Really nice powerful little motor. We have it on a 14 feet canoe that has a transom to mount the motor with the provided clamps. Pushes the canoe nice and slow at speed 1/5 and moves along at speed 5/5. If you have a small boat or canoe and just need to move around and get to a favorite fishing or swimming spot this is an excellent buy.

Our Intex inflatable scoots right along with the little C2 pushing it. Don't be hard headed about the battery. Do the research and spend the money on the right one. You need the AGM marine battery and the battery box. That thing is heavy but we have had it run about three hours continuously. It should do four hours but I'm not asking it to do that. I am not rowing that boat.

Works as advertised. I have a 10 aluminum boat and it works pretty good
