Master the Transom: Control and Convenience
The Minn Kota Traxxis 80 (MPN: 1368730M) is built to outlast and outperform every other transom-mount motor on the market. The hallmark of the Traxxis series is the **One-Hand Stow** mechanism; simply pull up and forward to stow the motor with zero effort. Deployment is just as easy, featuring a 10-position bracket with a quick-release lever that allows for multiple depth adjustments and tilt angles.
This 24-volt powerhouse delivers 80 lbs of thrust, providing the necessary torque to move larger skiffs and aluminum boats through wind and current. With **Digital Maximizer™** technology, you get up to five times longer run time on a single charge by delivering only as much power as you need. The **Tilt/Extend Tiller** tilts up to 45° and extends up to 6 inches, ensuring comfortable steering regardless of your seating position.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is 80 lb thrust recommended for a transom mount?
The 80 lb thrust configuration is ideal for heavier aluminum boats or using the motor as a "kicker" for precise back-trolling. The 24V system provides the necessary torque to handle wind resistance on larger vessels.
2. How does the variable speed benefit the angler?
Unlike fixed 5-speed motors, variable speed allows you to dial in the exact trolling speed (e.g., 1.2 mph vs 1.3 mph), which is often the difference between catching fish and a dry day.
