Minn Kota Maxxum T55 electric outboard

Minn Kota

Minn Kota have been one of the leading manufacturers of electric trolling motors for years, with their experience and quality product range it makes them the obvious choice.

The Minn Kota range of Maxxum trolling motors (Minn Kota Maxxum T40, Minn Kota Maxxum T55) have a number of features that really set them apart fromt he competition (please see the specifications tab for details), these in clude a tilting twist tiller, built in battery gauge and battery life Maximiser^TM .They make an excellent replacement for a small outboard and will allow you to enjoy the waterways in peace and quiet.

The Minn Kota range are designed to run off suitable deep cycle leisure batteries. A deep cycle battery is engineered to withstand full discharge without damage, and to provide a consistent level of 12v power discharge to allow you to get the most out of your electric outboard (or other 12v appliance). How long the battery will last is directly proportional to the speed you are running the motor at, a good tip is to take two small batteries rather than one large one, then at least you know you should be able to make the return journey if you are caught unawares!.
If you require any further information about the Minn kota range of electric outboards (especially the Minn Kota Maxxum T40 or Minn Kota Maxxum T55) then please give us a call and we will endeavour to supply you with relevant information. We are a real "walk in the door" well stocked chandlery, we should have these items on the shelf and so can run a tape measure over them and talk you through the finer practical points of mounting and using them.
