Minn Kota Edge 55 - Latch & Door - Foot Control - 12V-55lb-45" Product Description
Conquer the Water with Unmatched Durability and Control
Picture this: you're navigating a stump-filled cove at dawn, the bass are stacked up, and the last thing you need is a trolling motor that quits on you. That's where the Minn Kota Edge 55 shines. Designed for freshwater anglers who demand reliability in the toughest conditions, this bow-mount motor combines rugged construction with intuitive foot control to keep you locked on fish without missing a beat.
With its 55 pounds of thrust and 45-inch composite shaft, it's ideal for mid-sized boats tackling everything from shallow weedlines to choppy bays. Anglers love how it powers through thick vegetation, maintaining stealthy operation so you stay undetected. Forget finicky setups—this motor's Latch & Door system makes stowing and removal a breeze, perfect for trailering or overnight security.
Key Features Built for Real-World Fishing
- Extruded Anodized Aluminum Mount: Engineered for relentless abuse, this arm withstands impacts from docks, rocks, and waves while offering stable deployment every time.
- Heel-Toe Foot Pedal: Responsive cable-steer design gives precise throttle and steering with minimal effort. The ergonomic shape fits boots or sneakers, reducing fatigue on long days.
- High-Visibility Directional Indicator: Mounted on the head for quick glances, ensuring you maintain course even in low light or heavy spray.
- 5-Speed Control: Simple dial-in speeds match your retrieve or drift perfectly—no complex menus, just pure control.
- Power Prop: Weed-slicing blades push through milfoil and hyacinths, getting you to prime spots others can't reach.
- Lifetime Composite Shaft Guarantee: Flexes under stress instead of snapping, backed by Minn Kota's confidence in its unbreakable build.
Running cool and whisper-quiet, it extends battery life during marathon sessions and keeps noise to a minimum, letting you hear every tap on the line.
Performance That Handles Tough Conditions
In real angling scenarios, the Edge 55 excels where others falter. Bass fishermen report effortless maneuvering around laydowns in 4-6 feet of water, thanks to the extended 45-inch shaft that keeps the prop submerged in rough conditions. Kayak and jon boat users appreciate its compact footprint and easy mount, while walleye trollers value the steady, quiet run for long-distance drifts.
Compared to bulkier models, its hybrid composite head absorbs shocks from accidental bumps, maintaining heading without constant adjustments. Pair it with a quality 12V deep-cycle battery, and you'll troll all day without voltage drops affecting performance.
Effortless Setup and Everyday Maintenance
Installing the Edge 55 is straightforward for DIYers. Secure the mount to your boat's bow with included hardware, route the cables neatly, and you're ready. The Latch & Door bracket deploys with one hand, and the soft-grip knob secures it firmly during transport.
Keep it running like new with basic care: rinse after saltwater exposure (though optimized for fresh), inspect the prop for nicks, and store the shaft vertically. This motor's low-maintenance design means more time fishing, less tinkering.
What's Included for Immediate Action
- Edge 55 lb. thrust motor with 45" shaft

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of boats is the Minn Kota Edge 55 best suited for?
It's perfect for boats 14-18 feet long, like bass boats, jon boats, or pontoons in freshwater environments where precise bow-mount control is key.
How does the foot pedal control work on this model?
The heel-toe cable-steer pedal offers intuitive steering and speed adjustment. Press the toe for forward thrust, heel for reverse, with five speed settings for fine-tuned operation.
Is the 45-inch shaft suitable for shallow water?
Yes, the extra length keeps the prop submerged in waves or higher freeboards, while the mount allows partial lift for very shallow runs. Trim as needed for depths under 2 feet.
What makes the Latch & Door system advantageous?
It enables quick detachment for storage or theft prevention, with a secure latch that withstands road vibrations better than traditional straps.
Does this motor handle heavy weeds well?
Absolutely—the Power Prop is optimized for cutting through dense vegetation like cabbage or grass, maintaining thrust without clogging.
What's the power draw and battery recommendation?
Max amp draw is around 50A at full speed. Use a Group 27 or 31 deep-cycle battery for 4-6 hours of mixed use; dual batteries extend runtime significantly.
Is there a warranty on the shaft?
Yes, the indestructible composite shaft comes with a lifetime guarantee against breakage, kinking, or corrosion.
