EM Engine-Mounted Trolling Motors

Overview of MK 55/EM, 55lb.Thrust, 12V.

It's like adding another boat to your arsenal. Engine Mount (EM) motors can turn your recreational runabout, pontoon or cruiser into a bona fide fishing machine without adding a motor to your deck. You get "anywhere, anytime" performance when it's time to stow the skis and wakeboard and pull out the rods and reels. Ideal for slow-speed maneuvering, picking your way around docks and lifts, or easing onto your trailer. The versatile design makes this an ideal troller for runabouts and I/Os. Console style or handheld controls allow you to fish the way you like. Motors mount on the cavitation plate of your outboard or I/O lower unit and do not compromise performance and looks while maximizing your propeller efficiency. "MK" motors are designed for use in freshwater. "RT" are Riptide models ideally suited for saltwater use, with superior corrosion protection.

• Bracket: Composite bracket will not interfere with boat or motor performance. Mounts on cavitation plate of your outboard or I/O lower unit. No stowing or deploying required. Motor is completely out of sight and will keep decks clear and recreational boats from looking like a fishing boat. Once on plane, the EM rides completely out of the water. Will not interfere with the normal performance of your outboard or I/O motor.
• Remote Speed Control: Control the speed of your EM motor with a corded remote that can be mounted or handheld. Offers infinitely variable speed control in forward and reverse. Features neutral (off) detent position. The motor can be steered using the boat steering wheel or outboard tiller.
• Sealed Electronics: EM electronics are housed in a fully waterproof control module mounted below the deck of the boat. All electronics are sealed in marine-grade polyurethane to provide corrosion-proof protection. The extruded aluminum housing features specially designed fins that dissipate heat to keep things cool under high rpm use.
• Mounting location: Captivation plate to waterline 13" (minimum). Add 5" to waterline measurement for fishing in rough water. Add 12" to waterline measurement for steering a hand control motor while standing. Optional operating mode is with engine trimmed all the way down.
• Warranty: Two years
