Minn Kota Fortrex 80 lb 24V Trolling Motor with Dual Spectrum CHIRP - 45 Inch Shaft

Fortrex 80 Trolling Motor - Dual Spectrum CHIRP - 24V - 80LB - 45

Go ahead, make its day. Fortrex is fearless, with a ruthlessly tough anodized aluminum mount, Mono-Arm Design, and 80 pounds of thrust. It tears through anything in its path from thick weeds to stump fields to deliver you to the fish.

Lift-Assist Mount

The patented Lift-Assist Design cuts the weight of the stow and deploy in half. Features a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring.

Removable Bowguard 360 Bracket

Breaks away on impact from any angle and automatically resets itself, giving uninterrupted fishing. Plus, its dual-bearing system eliminates noise, and the entire mount is easily removable.

Mono-Arm Design

Made of extruded, anodized aluminum with a solid one-piece construction that helps the trolling motor run quieter with less wear for a longer life.

Built-In Dual Spectrum Chirp Sonar

Keeps the transducer and wiring completely concealed and protected, running everything through the trolling motors shaft. By covering a wide range of frequencies, Humminbirds CHIRP produces more accurate and detailed returns of fish, structure, and bottom than traditional sonar.

Counter-Tension Stabilizer

An integrated spring in this mount applies force, whether the trolling motor is stowed or deployed. That translates to a trolling motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque, and years of silent operation.

Illuminated Directional Indicator

Easy-to-read illuminated directional indicator built right into the motor head tells users the intended direction in any condition.

Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal

Get heel/toe control of the motor with this ultra-responsive foot pedal that includes speed control and momentary and constant on/off. Made with a high-impact composite material for unparalleled durability.

Push-to-Test Battery Meter

Press a button on the trolling motor head to get an instant status of the battery life you have left.

Digital Maximizer

Provides up to 5 times longer run time on a single battery charge. These variable-speed trolling motors let users dial in the exact speed, delivering only as much power as is needed, helping to conserve your battery for a full day of fishing.

Weedless Wedge 2 Prop

With swept-back flared blades to power through anything without battery-draining chopping and hacking, the Weedless Wedge 2 is one of the most trusted props in fishing.

Indestructible Composite ShaftGuaranteed for Life

At the core of your Minn Kota trolling motor is an indestructible composite shaft. Its a Minn Kota exclusive, and Minn Kota guarantees it for life.

Cool, Quiet Power

Every Minn Kota lower unit runs cool to extend trolling motor life and stays quiet.
