Minn Kota left the solid, extruded aluminum arm on the new Fortrex™ exposed, so everyone on the water can see what they're up against: the most ruthless mount we've ever unleashed. With fewer moving parts, tighter tolerances and less give, Fortrex  is the beefiest, meanest, quietest trolling motor ever. Consider yourself warned.

Mono-Arm Design
Sometimes, the simplest solution is best. In this case, it's a revolution. Fortrex's innovative Mono-Arm Design features an extruded, anodized aluminum, structural beam that operates with no metal-to-metal contact and 75% less torsion. A single hinge point and rear pivot bearing with 20% more surface area deliver less wear, longer life, and quieter operation than traditional mounts.

Counter-Tension Stabilizer (CTS)
CTS uses an integrated spring that applies force whether the trolling motor is stowed or deployed. On the water, that translates to a trolling motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque and silent operation.

Lift-Assist
Fortrex's patented Lift-Assist design cuts the weight of stow and deploy in half, making it as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate. It features a stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring to get your trolling motor in and out of the water with ease.

Removable Bowguard 360°
Lifting the trolling motor and bowguard off of the mount is now even easier on Fortrex - just remove a single cap screw. The patented Removable Bowguard 360°™ also features a dual bearing system that eliminates noise and allows for improved breakaways from any angle.

Illuminated Directional Indicator - Fortrex
The easy-to-read, illuminated directional indicator leaves no doubt about where you're headed.

Foot Pedal
Get wired to the water with our ultra-responsive foot pedal. Its new design is easier to operate, with more room for your foot and more exact speed control.

Digital Maximizer
Digital Maximizer™ controls and optimizes power to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. You'll stay on the water up to five times longer on a single charge.

Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™ 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.

Indestructible Composite Shaft - Guaranteed For Life!
Pound for pound, our composite trolling motor shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why we're confident enough to make it the only trolling motor shaft that's guaranteed for life.

Cool, Quiet Power
Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than a Minn Kota trolling motor. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer trolling motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise. So quiet, they'll never hear you coming.

This trolling motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.

  July 2009
RACINE, Wis.–  

Minn Kota® introduces i-Pilot™, a trolling motor control system which utilizes GPS technology to automatically navigate and position the boat for anglers.  “This is a true breakthrough in trolling motor technology,” Minn Kota Product Manager Dave Maryanov said.  “What better way to keep you on fish than to have the trolling motor automatically position the boat for you.  This is the ultimate in hands-free operation.”

i-Pilot integrates GPS technology into Minn Kota Terrova™, PowerDrive V2, Riptide® ST, or Riptide SP bow-mount trolling motors.  This creates a new level of versatility for the angler and offers several features that have never before been available on a trolling motor.  The Record a Track feature allows an entire fishing track, up to a remarkable two miles in length, to be stored to memory for immediate retracing or a later return trip.  As many as three different tracks can be recorded and stored at a time.

The revolutionary Spot-Lock feature works like an electronic anchor, holding the boat in place.  If the boat drifts more than five feet from the Spot-Lock location, i-Pilot will activate the trolling motor to keep the angler on the designated spot.  It automatically corrects for wind, waves, current and drift.  The “recall” feature for Spot-Lock provides the ability to return to that specific location at a later time.  Up to three Spot-Lock locations can be stored at a time.
 
The i-Pilot system offers another groundbreaking innovation being offered to anglers for the first time, Cruise Control.  With Cruise Control, i-Pilot maintains real-time on-the-water boat speed in one-tenth mile-per-hour increments.  This precise speed control allows the angler to dial in bait presentations in trolling applications.

Also included in the i-Pilot control system is the new GPS-based Advanced AutoPilot™.  Advanced AutoPilot utilizes a series of waypoints to maintain a true heading while adjusting for wind, waves, current and side-drift. 

Integrated into the i-Pilot remote control is Minn Kota’s famous CoPilot™ wireless trolling motor control system.  With the remote, i-Pilot users will be able to control speed and steering from anywhere in the boat.  “The whole concept of our i-Pilot system is to allow anglers to adapt all of these great boat control and positioning features and utilize them to their specific fishing application,” said Maryanov.

i-Pilot is available as an add-on accessory for new or current Minn Kota Terrova, PowerDrive V2, Riptide ST and Riptide SP bow-mount trolling motors.  The Suggested Retail Price for the i-Pilot system is $399.99.

Minn Kota didn't forget about the people that have recently purchased a trolling motor. i-Pilot is available as an add-on accessory for new or current Minn Kota Terrova, PowerDrive V2, Riptide ST and Riptide SP bow-mount trolling motors. The Suggested Retail Price for the i-Pilot add-0n system is $399.99. Maybe next year they will include this accessory for even more models, one can only hope.
