Experience unmatched power and reliability on the water with the Fortrex 80 Trolling Motor.

Key Features
Lift-Assist Mount
The patented Lift-Assist Design significantly reduces the weight required for stowing and deploying your trolling motor. Equipped with a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring, it offers effortless handling so you can focus on your fishing experience.
Removable Bowguard 360°® Bracket
Engineered for durability and convenience, the Bowguard 360°® Bracket breaks away upon impact from any direction and automatically resets itself, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Its dual-bearing system minimizes noise, and the entire mount can be easily removed for maintenance or upgrades.
Mono-Arm Design
Constructed from extruded, anodized aluminum, the Mono-Arm Design provides a solid one-piece construction. This design not only enhances the motor’s longevity by reducing wear but also ensures quieter operation, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful fishing trip.
Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar
Stay ahead of the game with the integrated Humminbird® Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar. This advanced sonar system covers a wide range of frequencies, offering more accurate and detailed insights into fish locations, structures, and bottom topography compared to traditional sonar systems. The transducer and wiring are completely concealed and protected within the trolling motor’s shaft.
Counter-Tension Stabilizer
An integrated spring within the mount applies consistent force whether the motor is stowed or deployed. This results in a trolling motor with no play, reduced steering torque, and years of silent and smooth operation.
Illuminated Directional Indicator
Navigate with confidence using the easy-to-read illuminated directional indicator built directly into the motor head. It clearly displays the intended direction, ensuring precision in any lighting condition.
Heel-Toe / Cable-Steer Foot Pedal
Gain superior control over your motor’s speed and direction with the heel-toe / cable-steer foot pedal. This ultra-responsive pedal allows for both momentary and constant on/off operations and is constructed from high-impact composite material for exceptional durability.
Push-to-Test Battery Meter
Monitor your battery life effortlessly with the push-to-test battery meter. Simply press a button on the trolling motor head to instantly check the remaining battery status, ensuring you’re always prepared for your next outing.
Digital Maximizer™
Extend your fishing sessions with the Digital Maximizer™, providing up to five times longer run time on a single battery charge. These variable-speed trolling motors allow you to adjust the speed precisely, conserving battery power for a full day on the water.
Weedless Wedge™ 2 Prop
The Weedless Wedge™ 2 propeller features swept-back flared blades designed to navigate through heavy vegetation without excessive battery drain. Trusted by anglers for its durability, this prop ensures smooth and efficient operation in weed-choked waters.
Indestructible Composite Shaft—Guaranteed for Life
