Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Minn Kota's Vantage Series of trolling motors was designed for today’s "I want it now" world. Featuring a push-button power trim, stow and deploy, and 4:1 articulated steering, this motor puts you in instant control of every situation with a fraction of the effort. It extends to a full 31" to give you better control from inside the back of the boat--no more leaning over the transom and no interference with your outboard or kicker motor. It tilts up or down for greater comfort and comes with 80 pounds of thrust.
Key Features:

4:1 Steering: Moving the Tilt/Extend Tiller just 45 degrees changes the lower unit a full 180. Eliminates tiller interference with your outboard or kicker motor.
Power Trim: Raise and lower the motor to meet changing depth and fishing conditions at the push of a button.
Power Stow ; Deploy: Automatically raises the motor to the stowed position at the end of the day or when on the move.
Tilt/Extend Tiller: Extends to a full 31" to give you better control from inside the back of the boat. Tilts up or down for greater comfort and steering control.
Digital Maximizer: Up to five times longer run time on a single charge. Conventional speed coil technology wastes energy by delivering a constant, steady flow of power to the motor--regardless of the speed setting--resulting in wasted energy. Pioneered in 1985, Minn Kota’s innovative Maximizer technology delivers the precise amount of power needed at any setting, along with variable speed control. Now, the advanced, digital microprocessing optimizes draw to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. Get up to five times longer run time on a single charge.
Breakaway Mount: The Vantage Series features a unique breakaway mounting system not found on conventional transom-mounts. Automatically breaks away on impact. Easy to reset. Protects your motor from hidden hazards.
Backtroll: Backtroll in an instant. Simply lift the directional indicator, rotate it 180 degrees and set it back down. It’s that fast and that easy to change direction.
Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound for pound, the ultra high-yield composite material has been tested to be three times the strength of steel. Virtually indestructible, it flexes on impact and then returns to its original position. Unlike steel, will not kink, break, rust, or corrode.
Cool, Quiet Power: Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than Minn Kota. Extra large windings and commutators are used to dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power and longer motor life. A unique bearing system produces low RPMs/high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise--so quiet they'll never hear you coming.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: The latest generation of this legendary Roland Martin design features swept-back and flared blades to "wedge" weeds away. Pass through the thick stuff at any speed without battery-draining chopping and hacking. A Minn Kota exclusive.

About Minn KotaMinn Kota is the oldest manufacturer of electric fishing motors in the world with nearly 70 years of hard-earned experience in the lab and on the water. Throughout their history, Minn Kota has led the way in product innovation and cutting-edge technology. The Minn Kota electric trolling motor began its 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. Prior to the trolling motor, Mr. Schmidt invented, produced and sold a copper soldering torch from his home in Wheatland, North Dakota. Due to its success, manufacturing operations were then moved to Fargo. Because of its proximity to the MINNesota-North DaKOTA border, Mr. Schmidt named the business The Minn Kota Manufacturing Company.

No more leaning over the transom and no interference with your outboard or kicker motor. Tilts up or down for greater comfort. This motor comes with 80 lbs of thrust.
