Minn Kota Raptor 8' Shallow Water Anchor

Overview

Raptor keeps working to hold you more reliably than any other anchor, especially in rough conditions. Designed with increased retraction force, Raptor’s spike pulls free from mud, sand and rock every time. Legendary Minn Kota durability and innovative anchoring technology make Raptor the only hydraulic anchor that can call itself relentless

Durable Design: A wider profile, heavy duty reinforced pivot points and extruded aluminum design will keep Raptor on the water in the harshest conditions

Retraction Force: We designed Raptor with increased retraction force to ensure spike removal in all bottom types.

Multiple Control Options: Control Raptor from anywhere on the boat using your choice of options: Wireless Remote, Foot Switch, i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link Remote, Mobile App or right from the Humminbird fish finder.

User-Selectable Anchoring Modes: Separate anchoring modes for Rough Water (heavy wind and chop), Soft Bottom (muddy or silted bottom), standard (normal anchoring)

Indestructible Anchoring Spike: Strong and flexible composite anchor spike backed with a lifetime guarantee

Auto Up/Down: Automatically deploy or retract your Raptor with the push of a button; no need to hold the button down

Saltwater-Tough Engineering: Keeps Raptor safe from the corrosive effects of saltwater

RAPTOR IS RELENTLESS

ANCHOR SMARTER

It knows where you’re anchoring, what’s happening to your boat, and what to do next. It reads the bottom, senses the anchoring force and reacts automatically to keep you locked down until the moment you’re ready to change spots.

USER-SELECTABLE ANCHORING MODES

ANCHOR IN ANYTHING

Raptor’s User-Selectable Anchoring Modes let you pick the perfect hold for any condition:

STANDARD MODE:
Anchors you securely, day-in, day-out.

ROUGH WATER MODE:
Continues to drive the anchoring spike on a timed interval for unrivaled anchoring in rough winds and heavy chop

SOFT-BOTTOM MODE:
Reduces anchoring force for the right hold and effortless retraction in soft mud and silt.

DON'T GET STUCK IN THE MUD

Raptor keeps you held in anything, but won’t ever hold you up. When it’s time to move, increased retraction force ensures Raptor’s anchoring spike lifts up and out without getting you stuck – so you don’t waste a second in a spot you’re done fishing.

MORE CONTROL OPTIONS

Control Raptor from anywhere on your boat at the push of a button – whether it’s the included wireless remote, optional wireless foot switch, your smartphone, your Humminbird fishfinder, or i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link system

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BRACKET

Raptor comes ready for anything with all necessary hardware to mount directly to a flat transom. Raptor Mounting Brackets can be used alone or in combination to accomodate other types of transoms and mount your Raptors exactly where you want them. Choose the right brackets for your boat based on the style of your transom and your preferred orientation. Single piece extruded aluminum construction means unmatched durability and ease of installation.

LEGENDARY DURABILITY

SALTWATER RATED

We’ve been combating the corrosive effects of saltwater for over 80 years, and we’ve built that know-how into Raptor. So saltwater won’t stand a chance.
