Key features
- Push-to-Test Battery Meter: instantly check your battery life at a touch, so you’re never left stranded offshore.
- Digital Maximizer: (on select models) extends run time to spend more time fishing and less time recharging.
- Advanced Corrosion Protection: premium alloys, armor plating, and a saltwater-resistant powder coat keep salt air and spray at bay.
- Fully Encapsulated Electronics: marine-grade urethane seals control boards, while waterproof heat-shrink connections keep saltwater out.
- Sacrificial Anode: balanced metals and a zinc anode absorb corrosion so the rest of the motor stays protected.
- Indestructible Composite Shaft: stronger than steel, resists impact, and carries a lifetime guarantee against breakage.
