2016 Minn Kota Motors Fortrex 80

Its not just powerful. Its angry. Fortrexs ruthlessly tough mount packs up to 112 pounds of thrust to tear through anything you put in its path and deliver you to the fish.

LIFT-ASSIST

Lift-Assists stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring makes stow and deploy easy. When you deploy, let go of Fortrex and Lift-Assist will gradually guide it into the water quickly, but without impact. And stowing your motor is 50% easier as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate.

That extruded, anodized aluminum arm doesnt just look tough. It redefines tough. The Mono-Arm Design gives it ruggedness and strength thats unmatched by any other motor on the water. And with its ingenious one-piece construction, Fortrex runs with less wear, longer life and quieter operation.

Utilizes an integrated spring that applies force whether the motor is stowed or deployed. On the water, that translates to a motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque and years of silent operation.

Stay wired to the water with our ultra-responsive cable-steer foot pedal. Its easy to operate, ergonomic design provides exact speed control and precision heel-toe steering. 5 foot cable.

The Bowguard 360 breaks away on impact from any direction and automatically resets itself - protecting your motor and your boat, so you can fish without worry. Plus, its dual bearing system eliminates noise, and it's easily removable.
