JOHNSON OUTDOORS FISHING JOHNSON OUTDOORS FISHING is comprised of the Humminbird®, Minn Kota® and Cannon® brands. Minn Kota is the world's leading manufacturer of electric trolling motors, as well as a complete line of shallow water anchors, battery chargers and marine accessories.

The electric trolling motor was invented by O.G. Schmidt in 1934 in Fargo, North Dakota, when he took a starter motor from a Ford Model A, added a flexible shaft, and a propeller. Because his manufacturing company was near the Minnesota/North Dakota border, he decided to call the new company Minn Kota.

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.

Every Minn Kota lower unit runs cool to extend trolling motor life, and stays quiet. Fortrexes are available with a built-in Universal Sonar 2 (US2) transducer. To connect your transducer to a fish finder, you may need an Adapter Cable.

Quality Comparison In our experience, both MotorGuide and Minn Kota make quality products that you can count on. Both have a long tradition of making well-known trolling motors, and both lines are still manufactured in the United States.

Introducing Minn Kota's New and Upgraded Line of Trolling Motors to Fit Every Angler. Minn Kota's trusted line of bow-mount trolling motors have been re-designed to help anglers get more out of their time on the water - including QUEST, a powerful new brushless technology platform.

1934 Minn Kota electric Trolling motors began life in 1934 in Fargo, North Dakota. Mr. O. G. Schmidt, inventor of the Trolling motor, was known to be a man of many diverse ideas.

– Since 1934 Minn Kota has been known for developing real, fishable features that help anglers explore new water, go further, and put more fish in the boat.

A trolling motor is a small electric motor, located on the bow or stern (sometimes both), that's used for moving a fishing boat through the water quietly, to avoid spooking the fish.

A trolling motor allows a fisherman to have complete control over the boat. It allows the angler to manipulate the movement of the boat to their advantage. The angler can almost eliminate variables such as wind and current and maximize the presentation of their lure or bait.

Mega DI transducer In addition to Mega Down Imaging, the built-in Mega DI transducer also provides CHIRP Digital Sonar for precise, crystal clear returns of fish, structure and the bottom. Simply plug your fish finder into your motor and start seeing what's down there. Note – Requires a compatible Humminbird Solix or Helix fish finder!
