MINNKOTA CLASSIC 55 LBS ELECTRIC MOTOR

- Assembly: transom mount
- Thrust: 55 lbs
- Battery power: 12 V DC
- Attachment system: Lever lock bracket
- Control: 3 reverse gears / 5 forward gears
- Telescopic handle: the telescopic control handle can extend 20 cm with five intermediate positions for comfort and increased control.
- Shaft length: 91 cm
- Prop type: Power prop (anti-algae props)
- Composite shaft

The CLASSIC motor has a mounting bracket with 10 positions, including a rapid-release lock lever.
Two times more resistant than a basic bracket, it is made from a reinforced composite material that resists bending, deformation and UV rays.

It dissipates heat, even under extreme conditions of use. The elements that make up the motor (winding, switch) have been scaled to generate less heat and reduce prop rotation noise, thereby ensuring maximum discretion for approaching the fish, but above all extending the lifespan of the motor.

This is often measured in pounds (lbs) or in kW and not in horsepower like combustion engines. However, an approximate equivalent can be provided:
- 32 lbs / 0.40 Horsepower
- 45 lbs / 0.60 Horsepower
- 55 lbs / 0.80 Horsepower

The more thrust the motor has, the faster its maximum speed will be. However, the speed also depends on the weight and size of your boat.
Example: a 2m30 pneumatic boat (45 kg) will achieve about 18km/h top speed with 55 lbs.

Since 1934, the Minn Kota® company has been designing electric motors for anglers and is now the global leader on this market. Incomparably reliable, it is possible to see motors that have been in use for more than 15 years without undergoing any maintenance other than a change of prop. Performance and innovation characterise Minn Kota electric motors
The composite shaft shock absorber, the telescopic handles and the anti-algae props are the most striking benefits of these motors.

If you have a powerful motor and a battery that does not meet the requirements of the motor, you will be able to move at a high speed, but only for a very short time.

In fact, the autonomy is dependent on the current consumed by your electric motor and the power of your battery.
Example: for an electric motor of 55 lbs consuming 70 A (at top speed) and supplied by a 110 Ah battery, an autonomy of about 1 hr 30 min will be achieved.

- Less maintenance than combustion
- Highly resistant over the long term.
- Lightweight
- Silent motor
- Electric technology is non-polluting
- Easy to use.
- Combustion engines are prohibited on increasing numbers of lakes and stretches of water due to noise disturbance and pollution.
