Minn Kota electric motors are known to be the most reliable electric motors on the market. The Endura 30 brings you the reliability and performance you've come to expect from Minn Kota at a great value. While 30 lbs of thrust might not work for a heavy fiberglass boat, it is more than enough for our boats and kayaks. Even our Transom Sport boats will perform well with this motor where currents are light. 30" shaft **** Not suitable for Bow mounting ***For FRESHWATER only. **Battery not included *Coast Guard requirements dictate that each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse.
