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.
