Minn Kota Edge 45 - Latch & Door - Foot Control - 12V-45lb-45" Product Description
Imagine gliding silently through weed-choked shallows or battling choppy waves without your trolling motor giving up. The Minn Kota Edge 45 steps up to those demanding freshwater scenarios, delivering reliable 45 pounds of thrust from a compact 45-inch shaft. Bow-mounted and foot-controlled, it's crafted for anglers who chase bass in stump-filled bays or walleye in windy inlets. This cable-steer powerhouse combines rugged build with intuitive handling, letting you focus on the fish instead of fighting gear.
Standout Features for Everyday Fishing Wins
Latch & Door Mounting System
Elevate your setup with this clever bracket that secures the motor like a vault during rough rides. Removing it for storage or trailering? Just unlatch the soft-grip door—no tools needed. It's a game-changer for boat ramps and garage space, keeping your investment safe from theft or dings.
Heel-Toe Foot Pedal Precision
Foot control feels natural with the heel-toe pedal, offering momentary on/off, constant run, and spot-on speed tweaks. Built from tough composite for drops and stomps, it gives you fingertip-like command without taking hands off the rod. Perfect for those multi-tasking moments when a strike hits mid-maneuver.
High-Visibility Directional Indicator
Mounted right on the head, this clear pointer shows your heading at a glance. No more guesswork in low light or fog—essential for precise trolling patterns or sneaking along shorelines.
Indestructible Composite Shaft
Flexes under strikes from logs or rocks, then snaps back without a crack. Minn Kota backs it with a lifetime guarantee, proving it's tougher than traditional metal in real-world abuse.
Power Prop for Tough Vegetation
The MKP-2 prop chews through thick lily pads and milfoil, maintaining thrust where others stall. Paired with 42-amp draw at 12 volts, it powers smaller boats efficiently without draining batteries fast.
Cool, Quiet Operation
Extra-large windings shed heat for longer runs, while whisper-quiet bearings won't spook skittish panfish or pike. Run all day on a single charge, hearing only the lap of water.

- Fishing Hacks: Use speed 2-3 for live bait rigs; pedal nudge for spot-lock mimics. Pair with fish finder for ultimate control.
