Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why choose the 36" shaft over the 42" shaft?
The 36" shaft is ideal for smaller boats (canoes, jon boats, or small inflatables) where a shorter distance to the waterline is required. It minimizes drag and ensures the tiller handle remains at a comfortable operating height.
2. Can this motor be used in saltwater?
No. The Traxxis is a freshwater-only motor. For saltwater environments, the equivalent model is the Minn Kota Riptide Transom, which features advanced corrosion protection and sealed electronics.
