Meet the Minn Kota Edge 45 45in Shaft—a compact, workhorse bow-mount trolling motor built for freshwater days that demand stealthy power, durability, and effortless control. Designed for smaller boats and big adventures, the Edge 45 combines rugged construction with user‑friendly features you’ll notice from first deployment to last reel-in.
Indestructible composite shaft — at the heart of this motor is a proprietary composite shaft that's guaranteed for life, delivering maximum strength with minimal flex for rock-solid steering in every situation.
Powerful, quiet propulsion — the Edge 45 uses a 45‑lb thrust system and a dedicated Power Prop designed to push through light vegetation, while keeping lowering noise and heat to a minimum so you stay stealthy on the water.
Latch & Door bracket — enjoy a rock-solid hold while stowing and effortless removal at day’s end, making setup and break-down smooth and quick.
Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal — ultra-responsive control with built‑in speed adjustment, plus momentary and constant on/off actions. Crafted from high‑impact composite material for lasting durability on every trip.
5‑speed settings — dial in the exact trolling speed you need for varying conditions, with smooth transitions and reliable performance.
Directional indicator — an easy‑to‑read indicator built into the top of the trolling motor head keeps you oriented on the water without taking your eyes off the horizon.
Designed for rugged use, refined for everyday fishing
The Edge’s compact extruded, anodized aluminum mount provides sturdy, no‑nonsense strength without adding bulk. It’s built for freshwater use and ready to tackle long days on the water with a dependable, low‑maintenance design.
