Tempered, marine-grade extruded aluminum provides an ultra-strong, lightweight mount. A positive rear stow latch provides rock-solid stowing for rough water runs and trailering, while a Latch & Door design makes removing your motor easy. The philosophy behind the Edge motor is that it doesn't get in the way, it get's things out of the way. It is our no-nonsense, nose-to-the-grindstone, everyday powerhouse with relentless durability. Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and will not break, kink or corrode. We're the only ones who trust our trolling motor shaft enough to GUARANTEE IT FOR LIFE. Our Edge model hand control motor features a Tilt Twist Tiller. The natural ergonomic grip gives you the ultimate in hands-on control for speed and steering.
