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

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.

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