Minn Kota Fortrex 112 Trolling Motor - Dual Spectrum CHIRP - 36V - 112LB - 45" Product Description
Dominate the Water with Unmatched Power and Precision
Picture this: you're stalking trophy bass in a weed-choked bayou at dawn, and your trolling motor slices through the thickest vegetation without a hitch. That's the reality with this beast of a bow-mount motor. Built for serious anglers who demand reliability in brutal conditions, it combines raw 112-pound thrust with smart engineering to keep you on the fish longer. Whether you're chasing walleye in currents or musky in timber, its 45-inch shaft reaches deep, giving you control where it counts most.
Freshwater warriors know the drill—gear has to take a beating and keep performing. This cable-steer setup with heel-toe pedal lets you finesse your position intuitively, all while the integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar paints a crystal-clear picture of what's below. No more guesswork; just more hookups.
Engineered for Battle-Ready Durability
The mono-arm mount isn't just tough—it's a game-changer. Crafted from extruded anodized aluminum, it absorbs impacts and runs whisper-quiet, cutting down on vibration that wears out lesser motors. Add the counter-tension stabilizer, and you've got zero play in steering, even after hours of hard use. That means precise control when every cast matters.
Lift-Assist and Bowguard: Stow and Go Without the Struggle
Stowing on a rocking boat? The nitrogen-charged Lift-Assist spring halves the effort, so your back stays fresh for the fight ahead. Hit a stump at full tilt? The removable Bowguard 360° bracket snaps back into place instantly, dual bearings killing any rattles. It's like having a bodyguard for your motor—removable too, for secure trailering.
Superior Sonar That Finds Fish Faster
Hidden inside the shaft, the Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar from Humminbird sweeps multiple frequencies for razor-sharp images of fish arches, submerged timber, and contour shifts. Traditional sonar can't touch this detail, helping you pinpoint schools in murky water or drop baits right on structure. Pair it with your graph for a seamless setup that boosts your catch rate without extra clutter on deck.
Stay Powered All Day with Smart Tech
Digital Maximizer tech squeezes every amp from your 36V battery, stretching run time up to five times longer than basic motors. Dial in exact speeds to match the bite—slow troll for crappie or push hard through wind. The push-to-test battery meter gives quick glances at remaining juice, and the illuminated directional indicator glows through fog or dusk, keeping you oriented.
Weedless Prop and Shaft Built to Last
The Weedless Wedge 2 prop's flared blades shrug off grass and sticks, powering forward without bogging down. Backing it is an indestructible composite shaft—flexible yet unbreakable, guaranteed for life against cracks or snaps from logs and rocks. Cool-running lower unit means less heat buildup, more seasons of service.
Real-World Fishing Advantages
In bass tournaments, anglers rave about how it holds position in choppy bays, letting spot-on presentations shine. Ice fishermen adapt it for open-water drifts, while stripers love the thrust for fighting currents. Variable speeds and responsive pedal mimic hand control, ideal for solo operators. Maintenance is a breeze—rinse after salty trips (though freshwater optimized), check cables, and it's ready for next outing.
Pro tip: Match it with deep-cycle batteries sized for your boat's draw—expect solid performance on hulls up to 25 feet loaded. It's not loaded with bells like auto-pilot, but for pure, rugged thrusting, nothing touches it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of boats is this trolling motor best suited for?
With 112 pounds of thrust and a 45-inch shaft, it's perfect for larger freshwater boats around 20-25 feet, like bass boats or walleye rigs. It handles heavy loads, wind, and currents with ease.
How does the Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar improve my fishing?
It uses wide frequency coverage for detailed, accurate readings of fish, bottom hardness, and structure—far better than standard sonar. Everything's wired through the shaft for a clean install.
Is the foot pedal comfortable for long days?
Yes, the heel-toe cable-steer pedal is ultra-responsive with speed control and durable composite build. Anglers love the intuitive control for precise maneuvering without hand fatigue.
Can it handle thick weeds and obstacles?
Absolutely—the Weedless Wedge 2 prop powers through vegetation, and the Bowguard 360° resets from any hit. Mono-arm design and composite shaft add toughness for stump fields.
What's the battery life like on a full charge?
Digital Maximizer extends runtime up to 5x by using only needed power. On 36V deep-cycles, expect a full day of mixed speeds; check the meter often for best results.
How easy is stowing and deploying?
Lift-Assist cuts weight in half with a gas spring, making it effortless even solo. Counter-tension keeps it stable stowed or deployed.
Is the mount removable for transport?
Yes, the entire Bowguard mount detaches quickly, protecting it during trailering or storage.

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.
