Minn Kota Traxxis Transom Mount Freshwater Trolling Motor — 80 lb Thrust, 42" Shaft, 24V

Minn Kota Traxxis — High-Thrust Freshwater Transom-Mount Trolling for Larger Boats

The Traxxis 1368730M steps up to 80 lbs. of thrust on a 24V system — built for larger aluminum fishing boats, deep-V hulls, and heavier freshwater platforms where a 12V/55 lb motor simply won’t move the boat effectively. You get the full Traxxis feature set — One-Hand Stow, Digital Maximizer battery efficiency, Power Prop for vegetation, and the Tilt-Extend tiller — with the power to handle bigger water and heavier loads. The 42" shaft provides the reach needed for deeper hulls and higher transoms common on larger boats.

Key Features

• 80 lb Thrust / 24V System — Significantly more power than 12V transom-mount motors; requires two 12V batteries wired in series for proper operation
• One-Hand Stow — Pull up and forward to stow the motor with no buttons or release levers — fast, simple, and reliable
• 42" Shaft — Extended reach for deeper-hulled boats and higher transoms where shorter shafts won’t achieve proper motor depth
• 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

Specifications

• Thrust: 80 lbs.
• Shaft Length: 42"
• Voltage: 24V (requires two 12V batteries wired in series)
• Motor Type: Transom Mount, Freshwater
• Control: Tiller
• Part Number: 1368730M

Compatible Applications

• Larger aluminum fishing boats, deep-V hulls, and freshwater platforms 18–22 ft where 55 lb thrust is insufficient
• Heavier boats that require more thrust to maintain speed and control in wind or current
• Freshwater lakes, large reservoirs, and river systems — especially weedy water where the Power Prop excels
• Anglers upgrading from a 12V transom-mount who need more power without switching to a bow-mount system
• Secondary/kicker motor applications on larger freshwater boats with higher transoms

Parts Desk Insights

The 1368730M is the right call when your boat is too large or heavy for the Traxxis 55 lb / 12V (1368716M) to move effectively — typically boats over 18 ft or those with significant weight from gear, livewells, or multiple anglers. The 24V system requires two 12V batteries wired in series; if your boat isn’t already set up for 24V, factor in the additional battery and wiring cost. Both Traxxis models share the same features; the only differences are thrust, voltage, and weight. If you’re fishing saltwater or brackish water, the Traxxis 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 on a larger freshwater boat, the Terrova 80 lb bow-mount is the natural next step.
