Minn Kota Traxxis Transom Mount Freshwater Trolling Motor — 55 lb Thrust, 36" Shaft, 12V

Minn Kota Traxxis — Feature-Packed Freshwater Transom-Mount Trolling Motor

The Traxxis is Minn Kota’s most capable freshwater transom-mount tiller motor — built for anglers who want more than the basics without stepping up to a bow-mount system. With 55 lbs. of thrust, One-Hand Stow, Digital Maximizer battery efficiency, and a Power Prop designed to push through heavy vegetation, the Traxxis keeps you on the fish in the conditions where most transom-mount motors struggle. The Tilt-Extend tiller and Quick-Cam depth adjuster make it easy to dial in your setup from any seating position.

Key Features

• One-Hand Stow — Pull up and forward to stow the motor with no buttons or release levers — fast, simple, and reliable
• Tilt-Extend Tiller — Tilts up to 45° and extends up to 6" for a comfortable, ergonomic steering position; features a digital battery indicator built into the tiller head
• Digital Maximizer™ — Draws only the power you need at any given speed, delivering up to 5× longer run time per battery charge compared to non-optimized motors
• Quick-Cam Depth Adjuster — Tool-free depth adjustment; change trim depth quickly, simply, and securely on the water
• Steering Tension Control — Dial in the exact tiller resistance you want with the adjustable collar above the mount
• Power Prop — Designed for 3¼" motor diameters; delivers extra thrust to push through heavy aquatic vegetation without bogging down
• Push-to-Test Battery Meter — Instant state-of-charge readout at the motor head
• Indestructible Composite Shaft — Lifetime guarantee; engineered to flex and recover rather than snap
• Cool, Quiet Operation — Runs efficiently without disturbing fish or drawing attention on the water

Parts Desk Insights

The Traxxis 1368715M is the strongest transom-mount tiller motor in Minn Kota’s freshwater lineup at this shaft length — the right call for anglers who want more thrust and battery efficiency than a basic transom-mount offers, without committing to a bow-mount system. The Power Prop is a genuine differentiator for weedy water; if you fish clean, open lakes, a standard prop motor will serve you just as well at a lower price point. If you’re fishing saltwater or brackish water, this motor is not rated for that environment — see the Riptide RT 45 for a corrosion-resistant saltwater transom-mount alternative. For anglers ready to step up to GPS boat control, the Terrova bow-mount is the natural next step.
