Minn Kota Endura C2 45 12V 45lb 36" Product Description
Discover Unmatched Reliability on the Water
Imagine gliding silently across the lake at dawn, positioning your boat exactly where the bass are hiding, without a single ripple giving you away. That's the everyday reality with this trusted transom-mount powerhouse. Designed for freshwater anglers who demand consistency from their gear, it combines rugged construction with effortless control, ensuring you spend more time fishing and less time troubleshooting.
Built Tough for Real-World Adventures
Crafted with materials that stand up to brutal conditions, this motor flexes under pressure instead of snapping. Its core strength lies in a proprietary composite shaft that's tougher than steel ounce for ounce—flexing on rocky impacts to keep you moving. Backed by a lifetime guarantee on the shaft and a full two-year warranty, it's engineered for seasons of heavy use on small boats, kayaks, or jon boats.
Rock-Solid Mounting That Won't Let Go
The innovative lever-lock bracket clamps securely with reinforced composites that shrug off flexing, warping, or sun damage. Adjust to one of 10 positions effortlessly, then lock it down for vibration-free performance even in choppy waters. No more worrying about your motor shifting mid-fight with a trophy fish.
Effortless Steering with Extended Reach
An ergonomic telescoping handle extends a full six inches, letting you steer comfortably from any seated position. Whether you're poling through shallows or maneuvering in tight spots, the intuitive design reduces fatigue on long days, keeping your focus on the bite.
Precise Speed Control for Every Situation
Five forward and three reverse speeds give you granular control—from whisper-quiet trolling to powering through current. Dial in just the right pace to hover over structure or back off a snagged lure without drama.
Weed-Cutting Power Prop
Equipped with a high-torque prop optimized for 3-1/4-inch motors, it slices through thick lily pads and milfoil like a hot knife. Paired with a max amp draw that balances power and battery life, you'll reach prime fishing spots others can't access.
Cool, Silent Operation That Lasts
Advanced windings and a low-friction bearing system keep temperatures down and noise to a minimum, extending runtime and motor longevity. Fish won't scatter at the sound of your approach, and your deep-cycle battery stretches further on all-day outings.
Perfect Fit for Your Setup
Running on 12 volts with 45 pounds of thrust and a 36-inch shaft, it's ideal for boats up to 16 feet or kayaks in freshwater environments. Hand-steer simplicity means no learning curve—just mount it transom-side, wire to your battery, and go. No digital extras to complicate things; pure, reliable analog performance.
Tips for Peak Performance
- Mounting: Position the shaft to submerge 12 inches minimum for best thrust; angle slightly forward in current.
- Battery Care: Use a dedicated deep-cycle Group 24 or 27; monitor voltage to avoid deep discharges below 50%.
- Prop Maintenance: Rinse after weedy runs and inspect for nicks—replace pin/nut as needed for safety.
- Storage: Rinse thoroughly, store dry and upright to protect the shaft and electronics.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
From weekend warriors to tournament pros, this motor earns loyalty through zero-fuss reliability. It powers quietly past weedlines, holds position in wind, and bounces back from bottom strikes. In a world of flashy tech, its straightforward durability shines, delivering fish-catching consistency year after year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of boats works best with this trolling motor?
It's optimized for small freshwater crafts like kayaks, canoes, bass boats under 16 feet, or aluminum fishing boats. The 45-pound thrust handles moderate loads effectively without overpowering smaller hulls.
How do I know if the 36-inch shaft is right for my boat?
Measure from transom to waterline, adding 12-18 inches for submersion. 36 inches suits most setups with 12-20 inch freeboards, providing flexibility in varying water levels.
Does it handle thick weeds well?
Yes, the Power Prop excels at chopping through vegetation, maintaining thrust where stock props bog down. Users report reliable performance in ponds and marshes loaded with milfoil or hydrilla.
What's the battery life expectancy on a full charge?
At half speed, expect 8-12 hours from a quality 100Ah deep-cycle battery. Higher speeds or heavy loads reduce this; always carry a spare for extended trips.
Is the handle comfortable for long sessions?
Absolutely—the 6-inch telescoping design adjusts to your reach, with ergonomic grips that minimize hand strain. Anglers praise it for all-day comfort on tournaments or casual outings.
How quiet is it compared to other motors?
Exceptionally quiet thanks to its bearing system and cooling design. It operates with minimal hum, ideal for stealthy approaches in shallow flats or near spooky panfish.
While others try to imitate it, we innovate it. Endura C2 is the legendary performer that's built to explore,built to last and backed up with our two-year warranty. It's the ultimate coming together of form and function, in a package that puts you on the water day after day, year after year like no other.
