Minn Kota

Minn Kota Electric Motors & Boat Control Systems
Minn Kota electric motors are trusted by serious anglers for boat control, positioning and quiet operation — especially when fishing structure, reefs and inshore grounds where precision matters.

At Shotgun Marine, we don’t just sell Minn Kota motors. We help you choose the right model, shaft length, thrust rating and battery setup, then install and commission the system properly so it actually performs the way it should on the water.

Whether it’s a bow-mount with GPS anchoring or a transom-mount setup for a smaller boat, Minn Kota systems need correct mounting, clean power delivery and proper setup to work reliably — especially in Australian conditions.

Professional Installation (PMMS)
Minn Kota systems are installed and commissioned through Port Macquarie Marine Services (PMMS), ensuring correct mounting, power supply, battery integration and on-water setup to suit fishing and positioning requirements.
 
Why professional Minn Kota setup matters
Correct shaft length for your hull and freeboard
Proper thrust sizing based on boat weight and windage
Clean wiring and circuit protection
Battery and charging system compatibility
Accurate GPS anchoring and heading calibration
A poor install can mean poor holding, excess noise, battery drain or premature failure — all avoidable with the right setup.

“Had ongoing issues with our Minn Kota losing hold and draining batteries. Shotgun Marine diagnosed it properly, repaired the wiring and got it working as it should. Night and day difference on the water.”
