Minn Kota Freshwater Transom-Mount Motors
Get A Better Handle. Different motors feature different tiller handles, each designed to make fishing easy and comfortable. When you reach back for your transom-mount motor, you’re taking matters into your own hands. You need instant responsiveness, easy control, unyielding toughness and a reliable motor that you can count on for years. If the motor you reach for has our name on it, that’s exactly what you’ll get.
Vantage- When You Can't Wait To Fish
Patience is a virtue, especially in fishing. But why wait if you don’t have to? Vantage lets you instantly slip into backtrolling mode, quickly and responsively steer, and stow and deploy the motor at the push of a button. That’s less waiting – and more fishing. Vantage's mounting system breaks away on impact. It’s easy to reset, and protects your motor and boat transom from unseen hazards. When depth and fishing conditions change, all you have to do is push a button to raise or lower your motor.

Instant BacktrollingLift and rotate Vantage’s directional indicator 180º, and start backtrolling right away. |
4:1 Articulate SteeringRotate the lower unit 180° by moving the tiller just 45°. This allows for more steering response with less effort, and the trolling motor stays out of the way of your outboard or kicker motor for easier control. |
Digital MaximizerProvides 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. |
Indestructible Composite Shaft
Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won’t break, kink or corrode.
Cool, Quiet Power
Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.
Weedless Wedge 2 Pro
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.
Control: Tilt/Extend Tiller
Take command of your hand control trolling motor with this versatile tiller, which both tilts (up to 45°) and extends (up to 6"), and features a digital battery indicator on the head.

When the walleye are biting, you'd better be on the spot. All the well-positioned casts in the world don't mead a thing if you can't stay on the fish. That's why every facet of the Traxxis was engineered to keep you in the game, no matter where the game takes you. Traxxis' remarkably simple, one-hand stow mechanism gets the motor in and out of the water in no time. Just pull up and forward to stow. When it's time to fish, use the easy-access thumb release to deploy Traxxis into any one of ten different positions. The innovative collar above the Traxxis mount allows you to adjust steering tension to your desired level. You can keep it loose for effortless steering or tighten it down to keep Traxxis in place, allowing for true vertical stowing. Traxxis ergonomically contoured tilt/extend tiller handle can both tilt (up to 45 degrees) and extend (up to 6-Inch) to fit any style of fishing, and it tilts downward for easy storage. A convenient digital battery indicator is located right on the motor head.

Used it once on a very windy day and after two miles of fighting wind it performed perfectly. The power of this one (55lb thrust) will surely do the job. The features are well thought out and like I said, the quality is top notch. Forward and reverse are smooth, the slide memory is easy to set and the large tension knob is right where you need it. I also ordered the handle extension by MinnKota to go along with it. Can't beat this for what it's designed for.
Amazon is the only company I try to deal with because the customer service is beyond any I've seen. Shipping was fast and the comfort of knowing if it wasn't what I expected they will stand behind the product. Thanks again Amazon for a great product!
As far as battery drain, we probably drove out about 1/2 mile, trolled on and off for an hour and a half, and drove in 1/2 mile. Not an all day experience, but the battery indicator showed good and the battery charger back home said 90% life left.
As far as using it with the Sea Eagle Foldcat 375, it may be a bit too much motor for the transom in both weight and thrust. I will be doing some mods to correct a couple issues that were seen when the boat was loaded and in motion: Sags in the middle and flimsy transom.
Why not 5 stars? I can not use one hand lift and stow very well. It seems to work nice when the motor shaft isn't completely extended, but for my application that configuration is req'd. I think the issue could be a combination of the weight of the motor itself + the flimsy transom issue mentioned above. Also, why can't Minn Kota just put 10'-12' cables on their motors stock?
The tilt mechanism is excellent, just remember not to try tilting the handle downwards without releasing the small switch on the bottom of the motor head.
Another thing worth mentioning is that you should use a 60 amp circuit breaker with this motor (Minn Kota sells one they recommend). This motor draws 50 amps at the highest speed, and a failure at that draw could potentially cause catastrophic failure of not just your motor, but also your giant acid filled bomb they call a deep cycle battery.
This does not come with the Weedless Wedge 2 prop as indicated, so if you really wanted that you will have to purchase it separately.
I then mounted it on a 70lb kayak with the same 2 people and gear using a very small 32ah deep cycle motor home battery and traveled up the same river at 30% of max for just under 1 hour and and returned for a total of 1.5 hours. The battery was down to 25% remaining power.
Any of my previous Min Kota Motors would have drained the batteries running at half speed in approximately half the time that these ran. I'm very pleased with the motor.
