All Maxxum motors include a composite shaft and a Bowguard 360 degree mount. According to the website, the 360 degree mount allows break away on impact from any angle, then automatically resets itself.

The pedal has had a number of design improvements to allow more room for the operator's foot and exact speed control.
Warranties
The composite shaft on all Minn Kota Maxxum motors is stronger than steel. It is designed so that it flexes on impact to prevent breaking, kinking or corrosion.
