## Overview

The MinnKota Fortrex 80 Bowmount Trolling Motor is engineered for serious anglers, featuring an 80 lbs thrust, 24v power system, and a 45" shaft. Its innovative Universal Sonar 2 keeps wiring concealed, while the Lift-Assist design makes stowing and deploying effortless. With a durable, noise-reducing mono-arm construction and a foot pedal for precise control, this motor is built for performance and longevity, ensuring you spend more time fishing and less time worrying about your gear.

## Description

Go ahead, make its day. Fortrex is fearless, with a ruthlessly tough anodized aluminum mount, Mono-Arm Design and with 80 pounds of thrust. It tears through anything in its path — from thick weeds to stump fields — to deliver you to the fish. Select models now available with Built-In MEGA Down Imaging.

## Features

- 45" Shaft, 24v, 80 lbs Thrust
- Universal Sonar 2: Keeps your transducer and wiring completely concealed and protected, running everything through the trolling motor's shaft, with shielded connectors
- Removable Bowguard 360° Bracket: Breaks away on impact from any angle and automatically resets itself, giving you uninterrupted fishing. Plus, its dual bearing system eliminates noise and the entire mount is easily removable
- Mono-Arm Design: Made of extruded, anodized aluminum with solid one-piece construction that helps your trolling motor run quieter, with less wear for longer life
- Lift-Assist Mount: Patented Lift-Assist Design cuts the weight of stow and deploy in half. Features a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring
- Illuminated Directional Indicator: Easy-to-read illuminated directional indicator built right into the motor head tells you right where you’re headed - in any conditions
- Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal: Get heel/toe control of your motor with this ultra-responsive foot pedal that includes speed control, and momentary and constant on/off. Made with a high-impact composite material for unparalleled durability
- Counter-Tension Stabilizer: An integrated spring in this mount applies force whether the trolling motor is stowed or deployed. That translates to a trolling motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque and years of silent operation
- Digital Maximizer: Provides up to 5 times longer run time on a single battery charge. These variable speed trolling motors let you dial in your exact speed, and they deliver only as much power as you need, helping to conserve your battery for a full day of fishing
- Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: With swept-back flared blades to power through anything without battery-draining chopping and hacking, the Weedless Wedge 2 is one of the most trusted props in fishing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wow!
  

*by V***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2019*

Power and long last performance in the toughest conditions.  However, I would not get the unit with  the built in sonar transmitter.  I purchased the  proper adapter cord but the temperature read out on my fish finder is 12-15 degrees lower then actual temp.  The lift assist for this old man is a reel plus.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great Product.

Bought it for my brother. He loves it.  He is a big time fisherman.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very nice motor
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2013*

Everything seems to work fine just a little loud and the sonar head is not mounted from factory straight , shoots off to one side.
