Common Concerns Answered
Is this lock compatible with trolling motors other than the Minn Kota Fortrex?
The T-H Marine Troll-Tamer™ RMC-105FMK-DP is specifically engineered for Minn Kota Fortrex models and designed to fit the 2-3/4" to 4-1/2" spacing characteristic of these units. For other trolling motor series, T-H Marine offers alternative Troll-Tamer models.
How does this stabilizer prevent damage?
By rigidly securing the trolling motor shaft to the mount during transit, the Troll-Tamer™ eliminates the violent oscillations and impacts that can occur from road vibrations or rough water. This prevents stress fractures on the motor shaft, damage to the mount, and potential hull abrasions.
