$1,599.99 USD

Product Description

Experience unparalleled performance and reliability with the Fortrex 80 Trolling Motor by Fortrex®. Designed for avid anglers and boating enthusiasts, this dual-spectrum CHIRP motor delivers 80 pounds of thrust at 24 volts, ensuring you can navigate effortlessly through any aquatic environment up to a 45-inch shaft length.

Outstanding Features

Lift-Assist Mount

The innovative Lift-Assist Design significantly reduces the effort required to stow and deploy the motor by half. Equipped with a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring, this mount ensures smooth and effortless operation every time.

Removable Bowguard 360°® Bracket

Engineered for durability, the Removable Bowguard 360°® Bracket detaches upon impact from any angle and automatically resets itself, allowing for uninterrupted fishing sessions. Its dual-bearing system minimizes noise, and the entire mount can be easily removed for maintenance or storage.

Mono-Arm Design

Crafted from extruded, anodized aluminum with a solid one-piece construction, the Mono-Arm Design ensures quieter operation with reduced wear and tear, extending the lifespan of your trolling motor.

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar

Stay ahead of the game with the integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar. This advanced sonar system keeps the transducer and wiring concealed and protected within the motor's shaft, providing more accurate and detailed readings of fish, structure, and bottom compared to traditional sonar systems.

Counter-Tension Stabilizer

The built-in spring applies consistent force whether the motor is stowed or deployed, resulting in no play, reduced steering torque, and years of silent operation.

Illuminated Directional Indicator

Navigate with confidence using the easy-to-read illuminated directional indicator integrated into the motor head, ensuring clear visibility in any lighting condition.

Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal

Achieve precise control with the heel-toe foot pedal, featuring variable speed control and both momentary and constant on/off functions. Constructed from high-impact composite material, this pedal offers exceptional durability and responsiveness.

Push-to-Test Battery Meter

Monitor your battery life effortlessly by pressing a button on the motor head to receive an instant status update, ensuring you're always aware of your power reserves.

Digital Maximizer™

Maximize your run time with the Digital Maximizer™, providing up to five times longer operation on a single battery charge. Adjustable variable speeds allow you to tailor the motor's power to your specific needs, conserving battery life for a full day of fishing.

Weedless Wedge™ 2 Prop

The Weedless Wedge™ 2 propeller features swept-back flared blades designed to cut through obstacles without draining your battery, making it one of the most reliable props for fishing in challenging conditions.

Indestructible Composite Shaft—Guaranteed for Life

At the heart of the Minn Kota trolling motor is an indestructible composite shaft, exclusively designed by Minn Kota and backed by a lifetime guarantee, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Cool, Quiet Power

All Minn Kota lower units operate cool to extend the life of your trolling motor while maintaining a silent operation, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful fishing experience.
