Minn Kota® Introduces New Fortrex™

Known worldwide for introducing products that change the landscape of fishing, Minn Kota® announces its toughest, most durable bow-mount trolling motor to date – Fortrex™. Fortrex combines unparalleled ruggedness with precision engineering to give anglers a motor that will perform in the most extreme conditions, day after day, year after year.

Fortrex’s most visible trait is its new Mono Arm. The arm’s design incorporates fewer moving parts, and has a single main hinge point that has a surface area 20 times larger than conventional designs. In addition, all metal-on-metal interfaces are isolated with composite bushings. This results in greatly reduced wear, extended motor life and virtually silent operation.

Extruded from marine-grade anodized aluminum, the Mono Arm’s structural beam is lighter yet stronger, providing tighter tolerances and reducing twisting and racking by 75 percent.

The Mono-Arm also employs Minn Kota’s exclusive Counter Tension Stabilizer (CTS) technology featuring an integrated spring arm that applies force in both the stowed and deployed positions - reducing steering torque, eliminating motor play and fish-spooking noise.
