Minn Kota Fortrex 80 Trolling Motor - Dual Spectrum CHIRP - 24V - 80LB - 45" Product Description

Conquer Tough Waters with Unmatched Durability

Picture this: you're navigating dense weed beds or dodging hidden stumps on your favorite freshwater lake, and your trolling motor powers through without flinching. That's the essence of the Minn Kota Fortrex 80. Built for serious anglers who demand reliability, this 24V, 80-pound thrust beast with a 45-inch shaft combines brute strength with smart tech to keep you on the fish longer. Its anodized aluminum mount and innovative design shrug off abuse, letting you focus on the thrill of the bite.

Lift-Assist Mount: Effortless Handling On and Off the Water

Raising and lowering a heavy trolling motor can be a workout—until now. The patented Lift-Assist mechanism uses a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring to slash the effort in half. Stow it quickly at the dock or deploy silently before dawn. This feature shines during long days when fatigue sets in, ensuring smooth operation without straining your back.

Removable Bowguard 360° Bracket: Impact-Proof Protection

Stumps, logs, and rocks are no match. The Bowguard 360° breaks away on any strike angle and snaps back into place automatically, so you never miss a cast. Dual bearings keep it whisper-quiet, and the whole mount detaches easily for secure storage or transport. Anglers in shallow, obstacle-filled waters swear by this for uninterrupted sessions.

Mono-Arm Design: Solid as Rock, Quiet as a Whisper

Crafted from extruded anodized aluminum in a seamless one-piece build, the Mono-Arm reduces vibration and wear. It runs smoother and lasts seasons longer than lesser designs. Pair it with the Counter-Tension Stabilizer—an integrated spring that eliminates flex in stowed or deployed modes—and you've got pinpoint control with zero slop or noise.

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar: Crystal-Clear Fish Finding

Integrated sonar hides the transducer inside the shaft for ultimate protection and clean lines. Humminbird's Dual Spectrum CHIRP scans wide frequency ranges, delivering sharper images of fish arches, weed edges, and bottom contours than standard sonar. Switch between 2D and Down Imaging modes to spot schools in murky water or map drop-offs precisely. It's like having a pro-level fish finder built right in, saving deck space and wiring hassles.

Precision Control Features for All-Day Confidence

  • Illuminated Directional Indicator: Glows in low light, showing your heading at a glance—perfect for night fishing or foggy mornings.
  • Heel-Toe Cable-Steer Foot Pedal: Responsive composite pedal offers intuitive speed adjustments and on/off toggles. Durable enough for rough boots and wet decks.
  • Push-to-Test Battery Meter: Quick button press reveals remaining charge, so you're never stranded mid-battle.

Digital Maximizer and Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Efficiency Meets Power

The Digital Maximizer intelligently rations power for up to 5x longer battery life, matching output to your exact speed needs. No more wasting juice at full tilt. The Weedless Wedge 2 prop's flared blades slice through vegetation without clogging, maintaining thrust where others bog down. Add an indestructible composite shaft—backed for life—and cool, quiet lower unit operation, and this motor is engineered for endurance.

Ideal for Freshwater Bow-Mount Adventures

With 80 pounds of thrust and a 45-inch shaft, it suits mid-to-large boats (16-22 feet) in lakes and rivers. Variable speeds, cable-steer reliability, and freshwater optimization make it a workhorse for bass tournaments, walleye runs, or family outings. Max amp draw of 56 keeps batteries happy all day.

Complete Package for Easy Setup

Everything you need arrives ready: the motor, MKP-38 prop, hold-down strap, stabilizer, and mounting hardware. Bolt it on and hit the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar special on this trolling motor?

It uses a broad frequency range for detailed 2D sonar and Down Imaging views, revealing fish, structure, and bottom details more clearly than traditional sonar. Everything stays protected inside the shaft.

Is the Fortrex 80 suitable for boats over 20 feet?

Yes, its 80 lbs. of thrust and 45-inch shaft work great on boats 16-22 feet in freshwater, handling wind and current effectively.

How does the Lift-Assist mount help during fishing?

It halves the force needed to stow or deploy, using a gas-charged spring—ideal for quick adjustments without fatigue.

Can the Bowguard handle repeated impacts?

Absolutely. It breaks away 360° on impact and auto-resets, with dual bearings for silence and easy removal for maintenance.

Does Digital Maximizer really extend battery life?

Yes, it optimizes power delivery for up to 5 times longer runtime by providing only the needed voltage at variable speeds.

What's the best prop for weedy areas?

The included Weedless Wedge 2 prop powers through thick vegetation with swept-back blades, minimizing drag and battery use.

Is the foot pedal durable for rough use?

Built from high-impact composite, it withstands boots, splashes, and daily abuse while offering precise heel-toe control.

Ready to elevate your angling game? This trolling motor delivers where it counts—toughness, tech, and tenacity for those trophy catches.

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 motor's shaft. By covering a wide range of frequencies, Humminbird®'s 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.

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