Designed for saltwater anglers, this transom motor blends rugged reliability with intuitive handling. The 36" composite shaft provides stiffness and impact resistance while the Power Prop helps you push through heavier vegetation. A six-inch telescoping handle and five forward/three reverse speeds give you precise control, while the Push-to-Test Battery Meter helps you stay aware of battery health.
