Minn Kota Edge 45 Trolling Motor Foot Control 36"
Overview
Who This Is For: Bow-mount anglers fishing shallow to mid-depth freshwater—bass, pike, and walleye hunters who need precision boat control in heavy cover, wind, and weeds. If you're pushing into stump fields and tangled beds where the biggest fish hide, this motor gives you the confidence to go where casual anglers won't.
Product Summary: The Edge 45 is a 12-volt, 45-pound thrust bow-mount trolling motor built tough enough for the worst conditions freshwater throws at you. The composite shaft won't break or kink on impact, the motor runs cool and quiet so fish don't spook, and the foot pedal gives you hands-free speed and steering control so you can focus on your line and your sonar. Latch & Door mount design means you can remove it in seconds for storage or security.
Key Features
- Foot Pedal Control — Ultra-responsive, ergonomically designed pedal with more foot room and precise speed control — you steer and adjust speed without taking your hands off the rod, keeping you ready for a strike.
- 5-Speed Control — Five distinct speed settings let you dial in the exact pace for your conditions — creep through thick weeds at speed 1, or push hard current at full throttle.
- 45 lbs Thrust — Enough power to punch through heavy vegetation and hold position in moderate wind and current — you're not stuck on the edge of the good water.
- 36-Inch Shaft — Standard length for typical bow-mounted setups on 16- to 20-foot boats — reaches down clean without excessive prop cavitation in shallow to mid-depth water.
- Latch & Door Mount — Innovative quick-release design with soft-grip knob lets you remove the motor in seconds for secure storage or safeguarding — no tools, no fuss.
- Directional Indicator — High-visibility compass-style indicator on the motor head shows your heading at a glance — no guesswork about which way you're pointed in fog or low light.
- Power Prop — Composite propeller optimized to cut through dense vegetation and deliver thrust in weedy cover — designed to get you to the fish, not just turn water.
- Cool, Quiet Operation — Oversized windings and unique bearing system keep motor temperature down and noise minimal — runs longer on a battery charge and fish don't hear you coming.
- Lifetime Composite Shaft Guarantee — Pound for pound stronger than steel, flexes on impact without breaking, kinking, or corroding — backs up the motor's rugged promise with real confidence.
- Marine-Grade Aluminum Arm — Extruded and anodized for years of corrosion-free service in freshwater — rock-solid stowing and mounting with no flex.
