Minn Kota Edge 55 - Latch & Door - Foot Control - 12V-55lb-52"
Minn Kota Edge 55 - Latch & Door - Foot Control - 12V-55lb-52" Product Description
Navigate challenging waters with confidence using the Minn Kota Edge 55 trolling motor. Designed for freshwater anglers tackling stump-filled shallows, thick weed beds, or choppy conditions, this bow-mount powerhouse delivers reliable performance on smaller boats like bass rigs, jon boats, or pontoons. Its compact yet tough build ensures you stay focused on the fish, not the gear.
Why the Edge 55 Stands Out for Everyday Fishing
This motor punches above its weight with rugged construction that handles real-world abuse. The extruded anodized aluminum mount resists corrosion and flexes under pressure without failing, while the impact-resistant composite head shrugs off docks, logs, and accidental bumps. Foot control lets you keep both hands free for casting or fighting fish, making it ideal for solo trips or tournament days.
Precision Control at Your Feet
The heel-toe cable-steer foot pedal offers intuitive steering and speed adjustments, crafted from high-impact composite for years of foot traffic. Five forward speeds and three reverse give you fine-tuned control—dial in just enough power to maintain position over structure or creep through cover without spooking bass. A built-in directional indicator on the head provides quick glances at your heading, even in low light.
Unmatched Durability from Bow to Prop
- Latch & Door Bracket: Secures the motor rock-solid during stowing and deploys effortlessly for transport or security. No more wrestling with pins or straps that wear out.
- Indestructible Composite Shaft: Flexes on impact to prevent breaks, kinks, or corrosion—backed by a lifetime guarantee for peace of mind.
- Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Swept-back blades slice through vegetation instead of chopping it, saving battery and keeping you moving toward prime spots.
- Cool, Quiet Operation: Oversized windings and bearings run whisper-quiet, dissipating heat to extend runtime and motor life without alerting nearby fish.

Maximize Your Setup and Runtime
Pair this motor with a Group 27 or 31 deep-cycle battery for optimal performance—monitor voltage to avoid deep discharges that shorten battery life. The 52-inch shaft suits boats with 16- to 20-inch freeboards, keeping the prop submerged in waves. For weed-heavy lakes, that Power Prop shines, powering through milfoil or hydrilla without stalling. Regular freshwater rinses keep the lower unit humming smoothly season after season.
