More Thrust, Longer Reach — Built for Bigger Freshwater Boats
The Minn Kota Edge 55 steps up from the Edge 45 with 55 lbs. of thrust and a longer 52" shaft, making it the right fit for mid-size aluminum and fiberglass fishing boats in the 17–20 ft. range. Like all Edge motors, it runs on a simple lever-and-door (L&D) hand control — no GPS, no wireless, no complexity. Just reliable, responsive bow-mount power for anglers who want to focus on fishing.
The indestructible composite shaft is backed by a lifetime guarantee — it flexes on impact and will not break, kink, or corrode. The marine-grade extruded aluminum mount is built to handle season after season of hard use, and the Tilt Twist tiller puts steering control right at your fingertips.

Parts Desk Insights
The Edge 55 is the most popular choice in the Edge lineup for anglers running 17–20 ft. aluminum or fiberglass boats on lakes and rivers. The 52" shaft is the key differentiator from the Edge 45 — if your boat has higher freeboard or you fish in choppier conditions where the prop needs to stay deeper, the longer shaft makes a real difference. At 12V, it still runs off a single battery, keeping your electrical setup simple. If you’re regularly fishing in strong current, heavy wind, or on a boat over 20 ft., consider stepping up to the Edge 70 for 24V power and 70 lbs. of thrust. For smaller boats where the 52" shaft would be excessive, the Edge 45 is the better fit.
