Meet the Minn Kota Fortrex 80, 45 in DSC trolling motor — where brute freshwater power meets intelligent, quiet operation. With 80 pounds of thrust and a sturdy 45" shaft, it cuts through thick weeds, heavy cover, and chop with ease, helping you reach the fish faster and stay on the bite longer.
Lift-Assist Mount: Patented design that halves the weight of stow and deploy, powered by a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring for smooth, effortless handling from start to finish.
Removable Bowguard 360° Bracket: Breaks away on impact from any angle and automatically resets itself, delivering uninterrupted fishing even in tricky structure. The dual bearing system minimizes noise, and the entire mount is easy to remove when you need to travel light.
Mono-Arm Design: Extruded, anodized aluminum with a solid one-piece construction for a quieter ride and reduced wear, delivering longer life and dependable performance mile after mile.
Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar: Integrated through the shaft to keep your transducer and wiring concealed and protected. CHIRP delivers more accurate, detailed returns of fish, structure, and bottom across a wide frequency range for better target separation and awareness.
Counter-Tension Stabilizer: An integrated spring applies steady force whether stowed or deployed, eliminating play, reducing steering torque, and ensuring years of silent, precise control.
Illuminated Directional Indicator: A bright, easy-to-read indicator on the motor head shows your direction in any conditions, so you stay on course without squinting into the glare.
Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal: Ultra-responsive, durable control with speed adjustment, momentary and constant-on options, built from high-impact composite for lasting performance out on the water.
Push-to-Test Battery Meter: Quickly check remaining battery life at the touch of a button, so you won’t be left guessing on the water.
Digital Maximizer: Delivers up to 5x longer run time on a single battery charge by dialing in exactly the power you need, helping you fish longer with less concern for the battery.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Prop with swept-back, flared blades to power through weeds and cover with less chopping and hacking, preserving battery life while keeping you moving forward.
Indestructible Composite Shaft: Minn Kota’s exclusive, lifetime-guaranteed shaft provides unparalleled strength and durability with a smooth, quiet operation.
Cool, Quiet Power: Designed to stay cool under load, reducing wear and delivering long-lasting performance with minimal noise — go ahead, make its day.
Designed for freshwater use, the Fortrex 80 45 in DSC is built to conquer tough conditions without sacrificing reliability or efficiency. With a rugged, corrosion-resistant mount, silent operation, and advanced sonar integration, this trolling motor helps you outfish the competition day after day.
