Minn Kota Max BG 42 in Shaft Freshwater Bow-Mount Trolling Motor

When it comes to fishing, having the right equipment can make all the difference — and one of the most critical tools in any angler’s arsenal is a high-performance trolling motor. The  Motor delivers the reliability, control, and efficiency that freshwater anglers need to take their fishing game to the next level.

Built for Precision and Control

Designed with a 42-inch shaft, the Minn Kota Max BG offers exceptional control and depth precision. This shaft length is ideal for a wide range of boat sizes, helping keep the propeller submerged in rough water or when standing waves roll through. Its bow-mount design gives anglers more responsive steering and direct control, making it easier to navigate tight spots and position the boat quietly without spooking fish.

Digital Maximizer™ for Extended Battery Life

One of the most standout features of the Max BG series is Digital Maximizer™ technology. Unlike traditional motors that run at a constant speed regardless of need, this smart feature lets you dial in your exact speed and automatically adjusts power draw, giving you up to five times longer run time on a single battery charge. This translates to more time on the water, less stress over power levels, and greater focus on fishing.

Comfortable, User-Friendly Tiller

The ergonomic tilt/extend tiller puts total control at your fingertips. With its adjustable length and angle, it provides a comfortable steering experience no matter your position on the boat. This flexibility is especially helpful during long hours on the water, reducing fatigue and giving you smoother handling with less effort.

Weedless Prop and Quiet Operation

The Max BG features a weedless wedge prop, which effortlessly slices through thick vegetation without draining the battery or slowing down your boat. Whether you’re navigating weedy shorelines or murky shallows, this motor keeps you moving with minimal noise — a crucial factor in staying stealthy when targeting easily spooked fish like bass or crappie.

Built for Durability and Performance

Minn Kota is known for its high-quality craftsmanship, and the Max BG is no exception. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, quiet motor technology, and long-lasting components, this trolling motor is engineered to perform under pressure and stand up to the challenges of freshwater environments.

Final Thoughts

The  Motor is an excellent investment for any serious angler. With its efficient power usage, intuitive control, and rugged durability, it delivers everything you need for a smooth, productive, and enjoyable day on the water. Whether you’re chasing trophy bass or cruising through lily pads, this motor has your back — and keeps you in control.
