Lift-Assist — stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring makes stow and deploy effortless. When you deploy, simply release Fortrex and Lift-Assist will guide it into the water smoothly—quickly, but with no impact. Stowing is 50% easier, as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate.
-
Mono-Arm Design — a rugged, one-piece extruded, anodized aluminum arm that’s built to last. This design minimizes wear, extends life, and keeps operation quiet and dependable.
-
Counter-Tension Stabilizer — an integrated spring applies constant force whether stowed or deployed, eliminating play, reducing steering torque, and delivering years of silent performance.
-
Tilt/Extend Tiller — tilts up to 45° and extends up to 6" for maximum maneuverability and precise control in tight spots.
-
Removable Bowguard 360 — breaks away on impact from any direction and automatically resets, protecting your motor and boat while keeping noise to a minimum. Dual bearing system further reduces noise and is easily removable.
-
Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster — change depths quickly and securely, locking in tight so your motor stays exactly where you want it.
-
Digital Maximizer — up to five times longer run time on a single charge by drawing only the power you need. Variable-speed control delivers the right amount of power while conserving your battery.
-
Push-To-Test Battery Meter — check your battery life at the push of a button, ensuring you’re always prepared for a full day on the water.
-
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop — pushes weeds away with confidence, tackling thick vegetation without draining battery power. Swept-back, flared blades deliver reliable propulsion in tough conditions.
-
Advanced Corrosion Protection — premium-grade alloys, multi-step cleaning, armor plating, and saltwater-resistant powder coating shield the motor from harsh environments.
-
Fully Encapsulated Electronics — marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates control boards, and waterproof heat-shrink connections seal every electrical joint against saltwater intrusion.
-
Sacrificial Anode — a balanced combination of metals and composite shaft work together to prevent galvanic corrosion, with the zinc anode absorbing the wear so the rest of the motor stays protected.
-
Indestructible Composite Shaft — pound-for-pound, stronger than traditional shafts, delivering lasting performance with reduced weight and flex.
