Minn Kota Edge 55/FC-45" L&D w/Free MK 106D On-Board Charger

Conquer Tough Waters with Unmatched Reliability

Imagine gliding silently through dense weed beds or navigating stump-filled shallows without a hitch. The Minn Kota Edge trolling motor empowers you to do just that, delivering relentless power and precision where bigger fish hide. Designed for freshwater bow-mount setups, this cable-steer foot control model combines rugged build quality with intuitive handling, making it a go-to for serious anglers chasing bass, walleye, or panfish in challenging environments.

What sets it apart? An extruded aluminum upper arm that shrugs off years of abuse, a hybrid composite motor head that's impact-resistant, and a lifetime-guaranteed composite shaft that flexes but never fails. Pair it with the included MK 106D on-board charger, and you're set for extended outings with batteries that charge smarter and last longer.

Standout Features for Everyday Anglers

• Latch & Door Mounting System: Securely locks in place for transport, yet removes effortlessly with a soft-grip knob—ideal for trailering or overnight storage without hassle.
• High-Visibility Directional Indicator: Mounted on the motor head, it gives instant feedback on your heading, so you stay oriented even in low light or choppy conditions.
• Ergonomic Foot Pedal: Responsive and spacious for precise steering and speed adjustments, letting you keep both hands free for casting or fighting fish.
• 5-Speed Control: Smooth forward, reverse, and variable speeds adapt to trolling patterns, spot-lock needs, or quick repositioning.
• Cool, Quiet Operation: Advanced windings and bearings minimize heat and noise, preserving battery life while keeping you stealthy around skittish gamefish.

Power That Handles Real-World Demands

With 55 lbs of thrust on a 12V system and a 45-inch shaft, this motor suits mid-sized boats perfectly—think bass boats, jon boats, or pontoons up to 18 feet. The Power Prop slices through vegetation effortlessly, maintaining momentum where lesser props bog down. Max amp draw stays efficient at 50, stretching your battery runtime for all-day adventures.

Anglers rave about its stability in wind and waves; the redesigned mount absorbs shocks, reducing vibration that can wear on gear or fatigue you during long sessions.

Indestructible Composite Shaft: Built for the Long Haul

At the heart of the Edge's toughness is its composite shaft—stronger than steel, corrosion-proof, and flexible enough to rebound from strikes against rocks or logs. Minn Kota backs it with a lifetime guarantee, because they know it outlasts the competition in brutal freshwater conditions.

Stay Charged Longer with the MK 106D On-Board Charger

Don't let dead batteries cut your trip short. The bundled MK 106D is a game-changer for marine use, featuring microprocessor smarts that monitor temperature, charge state, and more for optimal performance. It delivers multi-stage charging up to twice as fast in warm weather, with automatic shut-off to prevent overcharging and extend battery life.

• Waterproof aluminum housing withstands splashes, shocks, and salt exposure (even if you're rinsing after freshwater use).
• Compatible with flooded, AGM, or maintenance-free 12V batteries—protects against shorts, reverse polarity, and sparks.
• LED status codes show charge progress, errors, or full capacity at a glance.
• Compact at 8-3/4" x 4-3/4" x 3" and just 4.5 lbs, it mounts easily in tight battery compartments.

Real tip: Position it near your battery bank for quick access, and use its temperature compensation to maintain peak performance from cool mornings to hot afternoons.

Tailored for Freshwater Warriors

This setup shines in scenarios like shallow-water tournaments, family fishing outings, or solo scouting runs. The cable-steer design offers the tactile feedback hand controls can't match, while the foot pedal's durability handles muddy boots or wet decks. Maintenance is straightforward—rinse after use, check connections, and let the charger do the rest. Upgrade your setup and focus on what matters: landing that trophy catch.
