Minn Kota has built electric fishing motors for nearly seventy years. Match thrust, voltage, shaft length, and control to your boat and the water you fish. Minn Kota is the oldest name in electric fishing motors, and this collection covers the full lineup, from transom-mount motors for small boats to bow-mount Terrova, Ulterra, and Fortrex models with i-Pilot GPS. Picking the right one comes down to four things: thrust, voltage, shaft length, and how you want to steer it. Get those right and the motor holds you on a spot all day. Match thrust to boat weight Thrust is measured in pounds, and the rule of thumb is at least two pounds of thrust for every hundred pounds of fully...

Minn Kota has built electric fishing motors for nearly seventy years. Match thrust, voltage, shaft length, and control to your boat and the water you fish.
Minn Kota is the oldest name in electric fishing motors, and this collection covers the full lineup, from transom-mount motors for small boats to bow-mount Terrova, Ulterra, and Fortrex models with i-Pilot GPS. Picking the right one comes down to four things: thrust, voltage, shaft length, and how you want to steer it. Get those right and the motor holds you on a spot all day.
Thrust is measured in pounds, and the rule of thumb is at least two pounds of thrust for every hundred pounds of fully loaded boat weight. Heavier rigs, wind, and current all argue for more thrust, so when you are between sizes, go up. An undersized motor fights the wind and drains the battery trying to keep up.
Thrust ties to voltage. Smaller motors run 12 volts on a single battery, mid-size motors use 24 volts on two batteries, and the biggest motors run 36 volts on three. More voltage means more thrust and longer run time, but it also means more batteries and a charger to match, so plan the whole power system, not just the motor.
The shaft has to be long enough that the prop stays submerged when the bow rises in chop. Measure from the mounting deck to the waterline and add for rough water. Too short and the prop ventilates and cavitates in waves, too long and it is awkward to stow.
Bow-mount motors pull the boat and give the best control for fishing, while transom-mount motors are simpler and fit small boats. From there, choose hand control, foot control, or i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link, which add GPS Spot-Lock to hold a position, record tracks, and steer from a remote. Spot-Lock alone is why a lot of anglers upgrade.
If you fish salt, choose the Riptide series, which is built with corrosion-resistant materials and sealed components for the saltwater environment. Running a freshwater motor in salt shortens its life fast.
Not sure which Minn Kota fits your boat and battery setup? Tell our crew your boat length, weight, and water, and we will match the thrust, voltage, shaft, and control so it bolts on and holds you where you want to be.
Plan at least two pounds of thrust per hundred pounds of fully loaded boat weight. Wind and current call for more, so size up when you are between motors. An undersized motor struggles to hold position and drains the battery.
Voltage scales with thrust. Smaller motors run 12 volts on one battery, mid-size run 24 volts on two, and the largest run 36 volts on three. More voltage means more thrust and run time but more batteries to carry and charge.
Measure from the mounting deck to the waterline and add length for rough water so the prop stays submerged when the bow rises. Too short and the prop ventilates in waves, too long and it is hard to stow.
i-Pilot adds GPS to the motor so it can hold a position with Spot-Lock, record and replay tracks, and steer from a remote. Spot-Lock holding you on a spot hands-free is the most common reason anglers upgrade.
Yes. The Riptide series is built with corrosion-resistant materials and sealed components for salt. Running a standard freshwater motor in saltwater shortens its life quickly.
