See and stay on the fish with Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar– providing exceptional 2D sonar with superior target separation.

One Seamless Fishing System

Minn Kota® trolling motors, fish finders, maps, sonar, and shallow water anchors all work together for one purpose—fishing. The Minn Kota system seamlessly integrates what your fish finder sees with what your trolling motor does, turning sonar and mapping data into automated and precise boat positioning so you can stay focused on fishing.

Intelligent Depth Control™

Avoid shallow water and protect your equipment—this feature detects depth changes, alerts you immediately, and if necessary, automatically engages Spot-Lock® and deploys your shallow water anchors.

Wireless Connectivity

From innovative navigation features to precise boat positioning, built-in connectivity lets you wirelessly manage compatible gear seamlessly across your Minn Kota® system. Simplify the setup and use of your integrated system without complex rigging or cables—keeping everything connected, cleaner, and more organized.
