Minn Kota Fortrex 112/MDI Trolling Motor - 36V-112lb-52"
Minn Kota Fortrex 112/MDI Trolling Motor - 36V-112lb-52" — Product description
Imagine gliding silently across the water at dawn, your eyes locked on crystal-clear images of structure and fish hovering just below the surface. The Minn Kota Fortrex 112/MDI trolling motor transforms that vision into reality, blending brute 112-pound thrust power with seamless Humminbird MEGA Down Imaging integration. This 36-volt beast with a 52-inch shaft isn't just a motor—it's your competitive edge on the water, whether you're chasing bass in shallow weeds or targeting walleye in deeper contours.
Seamless MEGA Down Imaging Built Right In
Forget the hassle of external transducers dangling off your bow, exposed to waves, rocks, and accidental kicks. The Fortrex 112/MDI houses a dedicated MEGA DI transducer directly in its rugged lower unit, channeling all wiring cleanly through the shaft. This setup delivers razor-sharp Down Imaging straight from the bow's vantage point, revealing fish, vegetation, and bottom details in unprecedented clarity using megahertz frequencies.
Pair it with your Humminbird fish finder via a simple plug-in, and you'll also unlock CHIRP Digital Sonar. This sweeps a wide frequency range to cut through clutter, painting precise targets from surface to bottom—no guesswork, just actionable intel that helps you position perfectly for the strike.
Battle-Tested Mount for Rough Waters
The patented Lift-Assist mount slashes deployment effort in half with its nitrogen gas-charged stainless steel spring, making stow and launch effortless even after a long day. Add the Removable Bowguard 360° bracket, which absorbs frontal or side impacts and self-resets without fuss, backed by a dual-bearing system for whisper-quiet performance.
Engineered with a mono-arm extruded aluminum design and Counter-Tension Stabilizer, this motor stays rock-solid deployed or stowed. No wobble, no rattles—just stable control that minimizes steering effort and extends component life through years of hard use.
Precision Control at Your Feet
Dominate your drift with the heel-toe cable-steer foot pedal, built from tough composite for relentless durability. Intuitive speed dial, momentary constant on/off switches, and an illuminated directional indicator keep you oriented in low light or fog. A quick push-to-test battery meter on the head gives real-time voltage readouts, so you're never caught off-guard mid-tournament.
Power That Lasts All Day
At the heart lies Digital Maximizer™ technology, sipping battery power by delivering only the thrust you demand—up to five times longer runtime on a single charge compared to traditional motors. Cool, quiet operation from the lower unit means less heat buildup and vibration, preserving performance during marathon sessions.
The Weedless Wedge™ 2 prop powers through thick vegetation with swept-back blades that weed-shed effortlessly, avoiding the drag and battery drain of chopping props. Flex the indestructible composite shaft—guaranteed for life—and it bounces back from strikes against logs or docks without a hitch.
Elevate Your Angling Game
Serious anglers swear by the Fortrex 112/MDI for its no-compromise build in demanding environments like tournament trails or remote backwaters. It excels in spotting subtle bottom changes for jigging setups or dialing in exact boat positioning for casting to isolated cover. Pair its imaging prowess with spot-lock alternatives or integrate into your electronics ecosystem for a boat that fishes like an extension of your instincts.
Maintenance is straightforward: rinse after saltwater jaunts, check connections seasonally, and store with the shaft tilted to shed water. This motor rewards attentive owners with unwavering reliability season after season.

Now with Built In MEGA-DI:
You can’t mark fish if you can’t see fish. And the best view of what’s below comes from Humminbird’s MEGA Imaging™. So get a Humminbird’s eye view with a MEGA DI transducer built right into the lower unit of our most powerful, trusted motors.
No cluttered wires, no clamps and a transducer that’s protected from the elements. Just plug your fish finder into your motor to see what’s down there. Then go catch it.
No External Transducer - Messy wiring on an externally mounted transducer doesn’t just look bad: the transducer and wires are more susceptible to damage. With Built-In MEGA DI, the transducer is housed in the indestructible lower unit and all wiring runs through the shaft, for a clean, uncluttered look that’s protected from the elements.
Humminbird MEGA Imaging opened the eyes of anglers everywhere by taking fish finding into the megahertz frequency for the first time. Now your Minn Kota® motor can deliver crystal clear MEGA Down Imaging of what’s directly below the bow, just the way it was meant to be seen.
In addition to MEGA Down Imaging, the Built-In MEGA DI transducer will also provide CHIRP Digital Sonar, for precise, crystal-clear returns of fish, structure and the bottom at all water levels. Sweeping multiple frequencies across a broad spectrum, this powerful tool eliminates noise for precisely defined targets.
