BISON 55lb SHORT SHAFT ELECTRIC OUTBOARD MOTOR
Bison inflatable boats, trolling motors, and marine accessories are recognised for combining durability, value, and reliable performance. Founded in 2005, Bison ships from a UK warehouse directly to your doorstep.
Built with high-grade stainless steel and zinc components, Bison motors are suitable for both fresh and saltwater use. They fit a wide variety of watercraft including mud boats, sailboats, inflatables, jon boats, bass boats, pontoons, tenders, dinghies, canoes, and kayaks.
Bison trolling motors are considered among the best-value options on the market, offering durability, low noise, and impressive power for their size. Each motor features a rugged composite shaft that flexes on impact, a reinforced lever lock transom bracket, a weedless power prop with patented swept-back design, and an LED battery meter for clear power levels.
All motors come with a free spare propeller, a 2-year UK RTB warranty, and design features such as an extending tiller, updated casings, long-life switch, and high-temperature brushes.
