Description
Fortrex 80 Trolling Motor - Dual Spectrum CHIRP - 24V - 80LB - 45"
Go ahead, make its day. Fortrex® is fearless, with a ruthlessly tough anodized aluminum mount, Mono-Arm Design, and 80 pounds of thrust. It tears through anything in its path — from thick weeds to stump fields — to deliver you to the fish.
Lift-Assist Mount
The patented Lift-Assist Design cuts the weight of the stow and deploy in half. Features a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring.
Removable Bowguard 360°® Bracket
Breaks away on impact from any angle and automatically resets itself, giving uninterrupted fishing. Plus, its dual-bearing system eliminates noise, and the entire mount is easily removable.
Mono-Arm Design
Made of extruded, anodized aluminum with a solid one-piece construction that helps the trolling motor run quieter with less wear for a longer life.
Built-In Dual Spectrum Chirp Sonar
Keeps the transducer and wiring completely concealed and protected, running everything through the trolling motor's shaft. By covering a wide range of frequencies, Humminbird®'s CHIRP produces more accurate and detailed returns of fish, structure, and bottom than traditional sonar.
Counter-Tension Stabilizer
An integrated spring in this mount applies force, whether the trolling motor is stowed or deployed. That translates to a trolling motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque, and years of silent operation.
Illuminated Directional Indicator
Easy-to-read illuminated directional indicator built right into the motor head tells users the intended direction in any condition.
Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal
Get heel/toe control of the motor with this ultra-responsive foot pedal that includes speed control and momentary and constant on/off. Made with a high-impact composite material for unparalleled durability.
Push-to-Test Battery Meter
Press a button on the trolling motor head to get an instant status of the battery life you have left.
Digital Maximizer™
Provides up to 5 times longer run time on a single battery charge. These variable-speed trolling motors let users dial in the exact speed, delivering only as much power as is needed, helping to conserve your battery for a full day of fishing.
Weedless Wedge™ 2 Prop
With swept-back flared blades to power through anything without battery-draining chopping and hacking, the Weedless Wedge™ 2 is one of the most trusted props in fishing.
Indestructible Composite Shaft—Guaranteed for Life
At the core of your Minn Kota trolling motor is an indestructible composite shaft. It's a Minn Kota exclusive, and Minn Kota guarantees it for life.
Cool, Quiet Power
Every Minn Kota lower unit runs cool to extend trolling motor life and stays quiet.
