Minn Kota Trolling motor questions

Question

Here are a couple I am having a heard time figuring out.

First one is the Digital Maximizer. My PowerDrive (not the V2, but not the oldest version either. It looks like the current v2's but it has a little different pedal, and the stow&deploy lever looks a bit different also. The model says 50PD and it has the "Grip Glide" lever on top.)

Mine also has the maximizer technology, but it doesn't say "digital" maximizer, is the new model have an upgraded maximizer circuitry? Or did they just add the word "digital" to it for marketing reasons and its still the same maximizer they have been using for years?

The other is, between my model of PowerDrive, and the newer PowerDrive V2, is the only difference the Deploy lever and the foot control changed a little?

Thanks

It is a marketing deal. Digital isn't necessarily better, but it is supposed to have less chance of depth finder interference. Other than that, they are just different methods to get the same result. It is a current term...hip. Kinda like "broadband" that Lowrance is marketing. (What does "broadband" mean?)

The V2 has a bump-out feature as part of the stow system.

The biggest advantage is the foot pedal. It was redesigned, and should last better. Also, the plug is sealed (more of a saltwater plus).
