Minn Kota Fortrex, performance and durability

The Pinnacle of Performance and Durability: Minn Kota Introduces New Fortrex Bow-Mount Trolling Motor

July 2008

RACINE, Wis.–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.  Minn Kota 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.

“With Fortrex we set out to make the toughest, quietest trolling motor ever and we have done just that,” said Joe Brown, senior brand manager for Minn Kota.  “The innovative mount design, elimination of metal-to-metal contact points, and use of exotic composite materials, all improve ruggedness and reduce motor wear and noise.  This all adds up to a motor that will deliver years of trouble-free use and ultra quiet operation.

“With the addition of Minn Kota’s exclusive Lift-Assist feature, stowing and deploying Fortrex is significantly easier than standard trolling motors.  Lift-Assist, a gas-charged spring integrated into the mount, reduces the effort required to lift the motor in and out of the water by 50 percent.

Fortrex also comes with a new twist on Minn Kota’s patented Bowguard 360º.  Not only does it “breakaway” on impact protecting the trolling motor and boat, it now features a new, updated design that allows for easy removal of the motor from the mount for security and storage.

Contributing to Fortrex’s durability is its new motor head.  The hybrid composite material construction provides a 500 percent improvement in impact resistance.

Another feature is the new directional indicator-arrow.  Raised from the motor head, the illuminated arrow is easy to see at any time of day.

Fortrex’s innovative foot pedal is ergonomically engineered to fight foot fatigue and keep anglers “wired to the water” with ultra-responsive cable-steering.  The pedal’s new non-slip speed dial delivers precision control.

The contemporary pull handle on Fortrex is ergonomically designed and constructed of non-marring soft rubber, featuring a new abrasion resistant rope designed for a lifetime of trouble-free use.

Optional on all models of Fortrex is Minn Kota’s popular Universal Sonar 2 system that integrates the fishfinder transducer into the lower unit while all wiring is housed entirely in the shaft.  US2 has dual beam capability and is compatible with Humminbird DualBeam PLUS and select Lowrance and Garmin models.

Fortrex models will be available to consumers in the Fall of 2008 with either 80 or 101 pounds of thrust, and shaft lengths of 45, 52 or 62 inches.  Suggested retail prices range from $1,119.99 to $1,369.99.  Fortrex models will be visible on our website in January 2009.
