    •  Buyer's Guide
    Ambitious innovations from the bottom up provide top-of-the-line performance that thrives in the roughest conditions. Its single-hinge Mono-Arm has fewer moving parts than traditional mounts for peerless reliability that meets the demands of tournament anglers. It's marine-grade anodized aluminum arm is engineered to tighter tolerances for professional-grade strength, resulting in 75% less torsion deflection and less overall weight. The Counter-Tension Stability system eliminates motor play, reducing steering torque at high speeds in rough water, and provides rock-solid, vibration-free stowing. A nitrogen gas-charged spring halves the strength needed to stow or deploy the arm. Bow Guard 360 lets you easily lift the motor and bow guard off by removing a single cap screw for secure storage on the road or during winter. Includes the power-saving Digital Maximizer™ a streamlined footpedal with momentary control; and a nearly indestructible composite shaft. Available with Universal Sonar 2. 3- year warranty. Made in USA.

    Great Motor, April 23, 2009
    By Smithk from Iowa

    "Bought this motor for my new boat. I went with the 24 volt motor with the built in transducer. The lift assist is great. The motor goes in and out of the water with very little effort. I like the new hinge design and its light weight. I had a Maxum before and it was a great motor."

    Bow-Mount Perfection, March 2, 2009
    By Andreast

    "I own both the Maxxum and the Fortrex. Both are simply the best in their class! However the Fortrex when in the stowed position is taller than the Maxxum by about 4 inches. It looks very cool but could obstruct the drivers view depending on how the boat is designed. Minn Kota's claims about the speed knob on the Fortrex being easier to rotate with your foot are true. However, they claim that the mount is rock solid. I would say that it is as rock solid as the Maxxum's design. The Fortrex does have flex in it when you try to push the bow left or right under heavy load. Fortunately the soft start circuitry minimizes the flexing effect and noise that would go along with it. The Fortrex uses composite pins to anchor it in the bracket when in the down position. I hope they hold up as well as the steel pins in the Maxxum mount did. Since I am getting older and fatter I really like the power assist that dramatically reduces the lifting and lowering pressure. The universal transducer is worth the extra money. You could not go wrong with either of the units. It would be very hard to improve on the perfection of the Maxxum but the addition of the lift assist and the improved speed knobs are worth the money. It is great when an American company can produce such high quality products!"

    Fotrex, February 23, 2009
    By rangerboone from kansas

    "Trolling motor is the easiest to stow on the market. Maximizer lets you fish 2 days of normal fishing on an average charge. The new easy to change head will be a great benifit for fishing tournament conditions if you have a problem and need to swap out motors, although I have never had any reliability issuses with any Minn Kota trolling motor. The very best trolling motor on the market."
