Our Minnow Fin For Trolling Motors from Boaters Catalog is perfect to help you keep your edge while fishing for bass, walleye or other game fish.
Whether you’re battling wind, water currents or the boat’s bobbing, the added 77 square inches of rudder area give roughly 10X the effective control compared to the electric trolling motor alone. The vertical fins increase effectiveness of steering with less power consumption. The horizontal fluke acts like a shock absorber to dampen boat bobbing increasing your comfort and safety.
The Minnow installs in minutes with just a screwdriver. It will provide directional assistance whenever it is in the water. The steering response is improved when using thrust or when using another motor for propulsion. If fishing conditions require drifting and working the current while stalking the ‘Elusive Lunker’ the minnow will add stability and limit wind effect. Fight the fish, not your boat. Tested and proven effective by Northwest fishermen.
Designed for Minn Kota 12v, 24v & 36v trolling motors.

Orca Performance Fin
The Orca Performance Fin from Boaters Catalog triples the effective rudder area providing a tighter turn radius and sharp crisp
directional control at any speed. The larger surface area of the Orca Performance Fin blocks cavitation better than hydrofoils while adding the benefit of enhanced slow speed maneuvering and heading control. The Orca-Performance Fin installs in minutes without drilling using the 45M-Clamp kit or bolt directly to the cavitation plate using included hardware.
The Orca fin is usually mounted with the fins down but may be installed fins up without modification if you desire less aggressive control. Used and tested on fishing boats, runabouts, pontoon boats, cruisers, ski boats and bass boats (over 80 HP) since 2002.

Static Jack Plate 5 inch
The CMC Static Jack Plate 5 inch vertical outboard motor extension allows the motor to be mounted 5 inches higher than the
standard mounting height on the transom.
It is a must for easy conversion from prop drive to jet drive.

Constructed of Extruded 6061-T6 Aluminum alloy. (#50012) They are 5” wide and 20-1/2” long. It is rated for 300 HP and smaller motors.
Manual Jack Plates
The CMC Manual Jack Plates from Boaters Catalog has comparable design and construction features as the hydraulic
lift without the convenience of automated adjustment.
If you desire engine performance enhancement, but don’t have the budget for our hydraulic unit then the ML-65 may be exactly what you are looking for. Our manual units provide similar benefits to the hydraulic units. However, since you cannot raise or lower the engine as you are moving you will not receive the same performance enhancements associated with a hydraulic unit.
The 4 and 5-1/2 inch set back plates are rated for V-6 and smaller motors. They are NOT designed for V-8 or racing applications.
Manual ML-65HD, item#65512 rated for V8 400HP outboards or smaller.
