No. The plugs are different. Invest in the co pilot wireless remote system for the V2. Its a little bit cheaper and will have the appropriate plug.

A recommended motor size for a 20ft boat is around 74 lb's of thrust. However in super windy areas you may want to consider going to something with a little more push. The powerdrive V2 will not be able to support your boat. The highest lb's of thrust that it comes with are 70. Minn Kotas newest model of bow mount is the fortrex and would suite your needs as it comes in 80 lb's and 101lb's of thrust. Prices varry from 1100-1300 USD. Another alternative would be the terrova as it does come in 80 lb's of thrust at around 1000 USD. Both of these bow mount motors have pretty good features and can be found either online or from a catalog. The only other thing to consider from lb's of thrust would be shaft length size. Take a tape measure and determine how far down the transom of your boat is from the water. Your propellor should sit 5-6 inches under water. There is one other thing that you should be aware of when purchasing either of these bow mounted motors which is that they are going to require 24V batteries.

Hope this helps

Question
assembly
I have a flat serface in the back of my boat where i'm thinking of putting a bow mount motor but if i did that it would be facing backwards. When i get the motor, can i set the shaft backwards so there would be no reverse throttle/steering? Doese that make any sense?

I suppose to you mount it that way as there is technically no reverse on this motor. You turn until shaft is backwards and technically in reverse. The problem is you cant turn a complete 360 in reverse...the wire up top will start to wrap. I think you would be better off with a transmon mount back there.
