Minn Kota Traxxis 55 Freshwater Trolling Motor - Transom Mount - 12V - 55lb - 36"

Discover the freedom of precise boat control on your next fishing adventure with the Traxxis 55, a transom-mount trolling motor engineered for freshwater enthusiasts who demand reliability without complexity. This 12V powerhouse delivers 55 pounds of thrust through a sturdy 36-inch shaft, giving you the reach and power to navigate shallow bays, weed-choked coves, and everything in between. Whether you're chasing bass in early morning fog or drifting for walleye at dusk, its intuitive design keeps you focused on the fish, not the motor.

Effortless Handling for All-Day Fishing

Picture this: you're in the thick of a hot bite, and repositioning your boat shouldn't interrupt the action. The innovative One-Hand Stow lets you lift and secure the motor with a single pull—no fumbling with levers or buttons. Deploy it smoothly via a thumb release into any of ten positions, adapting instantly to water conditions or storage needs. Pair that with the Tilt/Extend Tiller, which adjusts up to 45 degrees and extends 6 inches for comfortable control from any seating position, complete with a built-in digital battery indicator to track power at a glance.

Maximize Every Charge with Smart Power Management

Battery life can make or break a trip, but the Digital Maximizer changes the game. This technology optimizes power output to match your speed, stretching a single charge up to five times longer than traditional motors. Dial in whisper-quiet variable speeds for stealthy approaches, conserving energy for those marathon sessions when the fish are finicky. The Push-to-Test Battery Meter provides real-time voltage checks right on the head, so you're never guessing how much runtime remains.

Adapt to Any Terrain with Precision Adjustments

Weeds and varying depths are no match here. The Quick-Cam Depth Adjuster allows fast, tool-free changes that lock securely, holding your prop at the perfect level. Meanwhile, Steering Tension Control via the mount collar lets you fine-tune resistance—loose for agile maneuvering in tight spots or tight for hands-free stability during trolling. The Power Prop, optimized for 3-5/8-inch diameters, slices through dense vegetation with ease, backed by included hardware for quick swaps.

Built to Last in Harsh Conditions

At its heart lies Minn Kota's legendary indestructible composite shaft, flexing under impact but never breaking—guaranteed for life against defects. The lower unit runs cool and silent, reducing wear and keeping noise low to avoid spooking fish. This transom-mount hand-steer design thrives in freshwater environments, from ponds to big lakes, with a max 50-amp draw that pairs perfectly with standard 12V deep-cycle batteries.

Real Angler Tips for Peak Performance

To get the most from your setup, pair it with a quality deep-cycle battery and check connections before launch. In heavy cover, run at mid-speeds to leverage the Power Prop's weed-shedding design. For storage, tighten the steering tension fully to enable true vertical stowing, protecting it during trailering. Regular rinses after salty sprays (even in freshwater use) extend its cool, quiet operation for seasons of reliable service.
