Meet the Minn Kota Fortrex 80 Trolling Motor — built to conquer tough water with fearless performance. This 24V powerhouse delivers 80 pounds of thrust on a rugged 45" shaft, engineered for serious anglers who need dependable power from weed-choked cover to stump-filled shallows. Its Mono-Arm Design and indestructible components keep you moving smoothly and quietly, mile after mile.
Engineered for reliability and everyday usability, the Fortrex 80 combines smart protection with practical features that matter on the water:
-
Lift-Assist Mount — patented design halves the effort to lift and stow, with a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring for smooth, effortless operation.
-
Removable Bowguard 360° Bracket — protects your boat by breaking away on impact from any angle and automatically resetting, while the dual-bearing system minimizes noise and wear. The entire mount is easily removable for quick adjustments or transport.
-
Mono-Arm Design — extruded, anodized aluminum in a solid one-piece construction for quiet operation and longer life with less wear.
-
Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar — keeps transducer and wiring concealed within the shaft and delivers broad-frequency sonar returns for sharper fish, structure, and bottom detail.
-
Counter-Tension Stabilizer — an integrated spring maintains solid feel whether stowed or deployed, reducing play and steering torque for years of silent, precise control.
-
Illuminated Directional Indicator — easy-to-read direction readout in any lighting condition, right at the motor head.
-
Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal — ultra-responsive control with speed options and durable, high-impact construction for lasting performance.
-
Push-to-Test Battery Meter — instantly check your battery life with the push of a button on the motor head.
-
Digital Maximizer — delivers up to 5x longer run time on a single charge by dialing in exactly the power you need.
-
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop — swept-back, flared blades power through vegetation with reduced resistance and reliable propulsion.
-
Indestructible Composite Shaft — Minn Kota's exclusive lifetime-guaranteed shaft for enduring strength and worry-free fishing.
-
Cool, Quiet Power — designed to run cooler and quieter, extending motor life and delivering steady performance on long days on the water.
