Description

Picture this: you’re navigating tight weed lines or battling choppy waves on your favorite freshwater lake, and your trolling motor never skips a beat. The Minn Kota Edge 45 with Latch & Door foot control delivers that kind of unwavering performance in a compact, rugged package ideal for smaller boats. This 12V, 45-pound thrust model with a 36-inch shaft—remanufactured to meet original standards—empowers anglers to position precisely for those trophy bites without the bulk or hassle of oversized units.

Built Tough for Everyday Adventures

Crafted from extruded anodized aluminum and impact-resistant composites, this bow-mount trolling motor shrugs off rough handling. Its Latch & Door bracket secures the motor firmly during use and stows effortlessly for transport or theft-proof storage, saving you time at the ramp.

• Ultra-Responsive Foot Pedal: Heel-toe cable-steer design offers intuitive control with five forward and three reverse speeds, letting you micro-adjust without lifting your eyes from the water.
• Directional Indicator: Bold, easy-read arrow on the head keeps your heading crystal clear, even in low light.
• Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Swept-back blades slice through vegetation instead of fighting it, maintaining efficiency and extending battery life on long days.
• Indestructible Composite Shaft: Flexes under impact to prevent breaks, backed by a lifetime guarantee for peace of mind.
• Cool, Quiet Operation: Oversized windings and advanced bearings run whisper-quiet, dissipating heat to maximize runtime and motor longevity.

Power Matched to Your Needs

With 45 pounds of thrust at 12 volts and 42 amps max draw, this 36-inch shaft model shines on boats up to 16 feet. The five-speed forward and three reverse settings give versatile control for trolling crankbaits at 1.5 mph or holding position in current. Freshwater-optimized, it’s free of sonar or GPS extras to keep things simple and affordable.

Remanufacturing means it’s rigorously tested—prop balanced, electronics checked, shaft inspected—for performance that rivals new, at a fraction of the investment. Perfect for upgrading from worn-out motors or outfitting a jon boat, kayak hybrid, or bass skiff.

Why Anglers Rely on It

In stump-filled rivers or weed-choked ponds, the Edge 45’s compact mount hugs the bow without crowding casting decks. Foot control frees hands for rods, while the pedal’s composite build withstands muddy boots and accidental kicks. Users rave about its torque in wind—holding boats sideways to fan-cast shorelines—and the prop’s ability to power through milfoil without clogging.

Maintenance is straightforward: rinse after salty exposures (though freshwater primary), check cable connections seasonally, and store vertically to protect the shaft. Pair with a deep-cycle battery for all-day power, and you’re set for dawn-to-dusk sessions.

Backed by Proven Reliability

Minn Kota’s engineering shines through with a cool-running lower unit that extends life and a one-year limited warranty. The composite shaft’s lifetime coverage underscores confidence in its durability—real-world proof from thousands of anglers who’ve pounded trails for seasons without failure.

Edge 45 – Latch & Door – Foot Control – 12V-45lb-36″ *Remanufactured

Edge lets you step right up to treacherous stump fields, tangled weed beds, or punishing wind and waves. Big challenges like those usually mean bigger fish. And when you’ve got the unrelenting, rugged construction of Edge – available in foot or hand control models – you’ve got the power to rise to the occasion.

The updated motor mounts on the Edge motors feature an extruded upper arm made from marine-grade anodized aluminum that is built for years of trouble-free use.

The Edge cable-steer motors feature a redesigned motor head that is constructed of highly impact-resistant, hybrid composite material for unmatched durability. The head also integrates a high-visibility directional indicator. And the ultra-responsive foot pedal is ergonomically designed for precise speed and steering control.

Edge motors also utilize a Latch & Door mounting system for easy removal of the motor for security and storage. Adding to its ruggedness, The Edge has a composite shaft that is guaranteed for life
