Minn Kota Endura C2 50 Trolling Motor w/Battery Meter - 12V - 50LB - 42" Product Description
Discover Reliable Power for Your Next Fishing Adventure
Anglers know that a dependable trolling motor can make or break a day on the water. The Minn Kota Endura C2 50 stands out as a workhorse designed for freshwater pursuits, delivering consistent 50-pound thrust from a compact 12-volt setup. With a 42-inch shaft, it's ideal for smaller boats, kayaks, and jon boats where maneuverability meets endurance. What sets it apart? It's engineered for those long days chasing bass, walleye, or crappie, without the fuss of complicated electronics.
Built on decades of Minn Kota's reputation for toughness, this motor handles real-world abuse—from tangled weeds to accidental bumps—while keeping noise low and operation smooth. Imagine gliding silently toward a promising spot, tiller in hand, confident that your setup won't quit on you.
Standout Features That Deliver Real Results
Effortless Control with Telescoping Tiller and Lever Lock
The adjustable six-inch telescoping tiller lets you dial in the perfect grip, whether you're standing or seated, reducing fatigue on extended trips. Paired with the rugged lever lock bracket, it secures firmly in any of 10 positions. This combo resists twisting under load and shrugs off sun exposure, ensuring it stays rock-solid season after season.
Versatile Speed Options for Precise Handling
Navigate with finesse using five forward speeds and three reverse settings. Crawl through shallow cover at low speeds or power up for quick repositions—it's all intuitive, letting you focus on the fish rather than fighting the motor.
Weed-Cutting Power Prop
That 3-1/4-inch prop isn't just tough; it's optimized to slice through thick vegetation like milfoil or hydrilla. It maintains momentum where weaker props stall, keeping you in the strike zone longer. Every kit includes the pin, nut, and washer for hassle-free swaps.
Lifetime-Guaranteed Composite Shaft
Flexibility meets unbreakable strength in the composite shaft. It bends without snapping under impacts, then springs back— a Minn Kota hallmark that outlasts aluminum rivals in rough conditions.
Cool and Quiet Operation
Advanced lower unit design dissipates heat efficiently, prolonging motor life even during all-day use. Plus, it runs whisper-quiet, so you won't spook skittish fish with unnecessary racket.
Maximize Performance on the Water
For optimal results, pair this 50 lb thrust motor with a Group 27 deep-cycle battery. At full tilt, expect around 42 amps draw, but smarter speed management stretches runtime. Transom mounting is straightforward—most users secure it in under 30 minutes with basic tools.
Pro tip: In heavy cover, stick to mid-speeds to leverage the Power Prop's full potential. Regular rinses after saltwater exposure (though it's freshwater-optimized) and shaft inspections keep it humming. Hand-steering shines for solo anglers, offering direct feedback that's hard to beat.
Fishermen rave about its simplicity—no apps or screens to glitch—just pure, reliable push that gets you there and back.
Perfect Match for Everyday Anglers
- Small Craft Enthusiasts: Fits 12-16 foot boats where weight and space matter.
- Weed Warriors: Excels in lakes choked with salad, powering through without bogging down.
- Budget-Savvy Fishers: Delivers premium durability without the premium price tag.
- Weekend Warriors: Two-year warranty backs casual to moderate use.
