Fortrex® is fearless, with a ruthlessly tough anodized aluminum mount, Mono-Arm Design and with 112 pounds of thrust. It tears through anything in its path - from thick weeds to stump fields - to deliver you to the fish.

And we recommend from the top of the prop to the water line to start out at about 12 inches. So what you want to do is you want to measure. From top of your prop.

Durably designed for saltwater fishing, Minn Kota's bow-mounted Riptide Fortrex hand-controlled trolling motor features an extruded aluminum mono-arm design that helps it run more quietly and with less wear for longer life.

Proper distance for most boats will be anywhere from 20 feet to 150 feet behind your boat. Whether you have inboard diesel or outboard gas engines, your power dictates the distance you troll your baits and lures.

SIZE MATTERS For most walleye trolling applications 10 to 14 pound test monofilament line is the ideal choice. Lines of this pound test rating are more than strong enough to handle even big walleye, yet thin enough to enable crankbaits and other popular trolling lures to reach substantial depths.

The entire lower unit of the trolling motor that contains the actual motor, is waterproof. O-rings and seals are used to ensure the lower unit stays water free. Colliding with underwater objects or dropping your motor on a hard surface can compromise this seal.

Freshwater Motors Designed for all kinds of freshwater boats, our motors offer the most intuitive controls, advanced technologies and unparalleled durability in fishing. Using any of our freshwater Minn Kota motors in saltwater may dramatically reduce the life of the motor and voids the manufacturer's warranty.

between 1.5 and 2.5 mph Trolling motors calibrate speed more accurately than large outboard motors. Trolling plates are also used with larger motors to slow the boat to the desired speed. In general, trolling speeds between 1.5 and 2.5 mph, as measured by GPS, are a good starting place for most species like walleye, trout and salmon.

The Runtime of a 24V Trolling Motor Battery Our 24V trolling motor batteries from Abyss Battery feature a general runtime of five to seven hours on a single charge and under favorable conditions. With a 24V 75 Ah or 24V 100Ah setup from Abyss Battery, you can expect an even longer runtime of over eight hours.

As a general rule, we recommend a 110 amp hour (Ah) rating per battery for 6-8 hours of runtime. If you have a lower Amp Hour rating, you will want to calculate the runtime for your motor.
