Minn Kota Traxxis 55 Freshwater Trolling Motor - Transom Mount - 12V - 55lb - 42"

Discover the Power and Precision of the Traxxis 55 for Your Next Fishing Trip

Picture this: you're out on the water at dawn, targeting bass in shallow coves or drifting over weed beds for walleye. The last thing you want is a trolling motor that fights you every step of the way. That's where the Minn Kota Traxxis 55 shines. This 42-inch shaft, 55-pound thrust workhorse is built for freshwater anglers who demand reliability without the fuss. Mounted on your transom, it gives you fingertip control to position your boat exactly where the fish are biting, all powered by a straightforward 12-volt setup.

What sets it apart? It's not just about raw power—it's the smart engineering that makes long days on the water effortless. From effortless stowing to battery-saving tech, every detail is crafted to keep you focused on the catch, not the gear.

Key Features That Make Traxxis 55 a Game-Changer

Effortless One-Hand Stow and Deploy

No more wrestling with levers or buttons. Simply lift and pull forward to tuck the motor away securely. When you're ready to fish, a quick thumb release lets you drop it into one of ten precise positions. This design saves precious time during multi-stop outings, whether you're trailering home or switching spots on a busy lake.

Versatile Tilt and Extend Tiller

Customize your grip with a tiller that tilts up to 45 degrees and extends 6 inches for comfortable control from any seating position. The built-in digital battery indicator keeps you informed at a glance, so you never get stranded far from the ramp.

Digital Maximizer for All-Day Endurance

Ever cut a fishing day short because your battery died? Digital Maximizer changes that by intelligently managing power output. It stretches a single charge up to five times longer than traditional motors, dialing in just the speed you need without wasting energy. Perfect for extended sessions chasing crappie or panfish.

Quick-Cam Depth Adjuster and Steering Tension Control

Lock in your ideal depth with a simple cam mechanism that adjusts fast and holds firm against current or waves. Pair it with the adjustable steering tension collar—loose for smooth maneuvering through tight cover, tight for hands-free stability. It's like having a custom fit for every condition.

Rugged Build for Real-World Abuse

The indestructible composite shaft flexes under impact but won't break, backed by a lifetime guarantee. Add the Power Prop for chopping through thick weeds, a push-to-test battery meter, and cool, quiet operation, and you've got a motor that outlasts the competition.

Why Anglers Swear by the Traxxis 55 for Freshwater Adventures

This transom-mount beast excels on smaller boats like jon boats, bass skiffs, or pontoons up to 16 feet. Its 50-amp max draw pairs perfectly with group 27 or 31 deep-cycle batteries, keeping things simple and cost-effective. Hand-steering via tiller means intuitive control—no foot pedal learning curve. Variable speeds let you finesse lures at troll speeds or power through wind.

Fishermen love how it handles diverse freshwater scenarios: stealthy approaches in skinny water, holding position over structure, or battling vegetation in northern lakes. It's quieter than gas kickers, cooler-running for marathon trips, and tough enough for rocky shores.

Tips to Get the Most from Your Traxxis 55

Rinse with fresh water after salty or muddy trips to protect the lower unit. Check prop for debris regularly, and store vertically using the tension control for space-saving. Pair with a quality charger to maintain battery health—your Digital Maximizer will thank you with even longer runs.
