I'm helping out a friend of my brother. I already paid for this so I have it on hand personally...

Brand new, never used Minn-Kota Mk-55 em - engine mount trolling motor. New in the box. Bought this spring, 55 lb thrust. Here is the description from Minn-Kota:

Minn Kota's engine mount motors can transform your current boat motor into a hard-core fishing machine without sacrificing any performance. The motor mounts to the cavitation plate of your outboard or I/O lower unit and rides completely out of the water once on plane. Ideally suited for saltwater applications, these motors feature superior corrosion protection for years of dependable use. You control the unit with a corded remote that can be handheld or mounted wherever convenient. It offers you variable speed control and a neutral (off) position. You steer your boat the same as you would with your gas motor. The electronics are contained in sealed marine-grade polyurethane and the housing is aluminum with cooling fins to help dissipate heat. Sacrificial anode. Each unit features Weedless Wedge 2 props and comes with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.

They are $629.00 at Cabelas. Will sell for $400.00 obo

You can reach me at [email protected] or 651.341.4581 I'm in Cottage Grove, work in Inver Grove and have a cabin in Cass Lake... so can meet in many places.

Good Luck!

sorry it's sold. Just FYI, the #55 model is for 16-18' boats... I'm thinking #3000 would be on the high side... I think you would need to go up a model.

Good Luck!

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
