FORTREX 80 front engine

DSC: DUAL SPECTRUM probe CHIRP for fishing

The probe CHIRP uses a wide frequency range to better fish detection. It emits more pulses for a clearer, more detailed image. It also incorporates atemperature sensor.

• Target separation :Fish will be better defined on screen thanks to advanced target separation capabilities, distinguishing fish echoes from each other and from the background.
• Clearly defined fish arches:Fish will appear in long, well-defined arcs for quick identification and accurate presentation of lures.
• Loud and quiet echoes return:A high signal-to-noise ratio means better-defined targets, less clutter and greater certainty that what you're looking at on the screen is legitimate.

Features :

• Wide beamFrom 140 to 240khz. Optimizes scanning area, detection and lure tracking.
• Narrow beamFrom180 to 240khz. Optimizes detail, background reading and target separation.

Compatible with handsets Humminbird with Ethernet functionality.

Fortrex: robust engine design

The Minn Kota Fortrex 80 front engine has a number of features that give it an outstanding rugged sturdiness to cope with all kinds of obstacles during your inland fishing sessions.

It features a single-arm design, manufactured in extruded and anodized aluminum with a solid one-piece construction that helps your engine run more quietly, with less wear for longer life.

There is also a counter-tension stabilizer. This is a spring integrated into supportWhich applies a force whether the motor is stowed or deployed. This results in a backlash-free motor, with a reduced steering torque and years of operation.

A mudguard Bowguard 360° in the form of a removable bracket is also integrated. It detaches on impact, at any angle, and automatically resets itself, for uninterrupted fishing. What's more, its double bearing system Eliminates noise and the entire support is easy to dismantle.

Finally, its Lift-Assist halves the weight of stowage and deployment. It includes a stainless steel spring charged with nitrogen gas.

Fortrex Minn Kota control pedal

The Minn Kota wired foot switch has asmall footprint and aheel/toe use.

It provides access to the main functions: propeller on/off, management speedOr activate or deactivate the momentary or constant functions.

This Fortrex Minn Kota pedal controller is extremely reliable and responsiveAnd has the advantage of leave your hands completely free to hold a fishing rod, for example.

Last but not least, the Minn Kota Fortrex 80 front electric motor features an indicator light on the motor head to showShow the direction of the boatIn all visibility conditions, day and night.

What is the motor shaft length ?

It is important to choose the right shaft length of the Minn Kota motor in relation to the boat. If it's too short, the propeller won't be sufficiently submerged. Comptoir Nautique recommends :

• Measure the distance between the bow and the waterline.
• Add 10 cm to the waterline measurement for rough water fishing.
• Add 30 cm to the waterline measurement to steer a hand-operated motor while standing in the boat.

MAIN POINTS :

• Easy to control
• Quiet motor
• Anti-algae propeller
• Robust design
• Integrated DSC sensor
• Lift-assist (deployment assistance)
