Overview
Introducing the legendary performance of Force trolling motors into the realm of kayak fishing, the Garmin Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor w/Foot Pedals features a rugged propulsion system specifically for elite-level kayak fishing. Designed to let you steer the motor without setting down your rod, the power steering pedals are hands-free so you can control the throttle, steer, initiate anchor lock, and more, all while you're making casts and landing fish. Adding extra safety to kayak angling, the Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor comes with a wireless wearable tag designed to detect if you have fallen overboard and shut off the motor.
Featuring longer run times than brushed motors, the Garmin Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor utilizes a brushless motor to increase battery life and ensure your focus is on catching fish instead of on the power supply of your vessel. Compatible with Garmin chartplotters, the Force Current also lets anglers create routes to follow and navigate directly to specific waypoints, allowing them to fish and make casts along the way. Easy to install and remove, the Garmin Force Current Kayak Troll Motor w/Foot Pedals allows anglers to get on and off the water quickly for the ultimate kayak fishing convenience.

Featuring programmable pedal buttons to give you quick access to key features like anchor lock, heading hold, and more.
Unprecedented Maneuverability: Capable of turning your kayak quickly with full forward and reverse thrust in any direction. Designed to let you weave through crowded timber, turn in a tight circle, sneak along shorelines, and creep through weed beds while you fish. Including a wireless handheld remote for point-and-go gesture steering.
Chartplotter Integration: Allowing wireless integration with Garmin chartplotters, create routes and tracks for the trolling motor to follow while you fish along the way. Use the chartplotter control bar to adjust throttle, steering, motor settings, and more.
Anchor Lock Technology: Built with multi-band GPS to provide precise vessel positioning technology to keep the kayak in one place during windy conditions and strong current.
