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

Fortrex’s most visible trait is its 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.
