Overview
Built with a rugged propulsion system for elite-level kayak fishing, the Garmin Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor delivers the same legendary performance of Garmin Force trolling motors geared specifically for kayaks. Capable of maneuvering in tight places, the Force Current excels in all areas and features an anchor lock technology for precise positioning in windy conditions and strong currents. Compatible in both fresh and saltwater, the Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor includes a wireless handheld remote with point-and-go gesture steering for advanced control of your vessel.
Utilizing chartplotter integration, the Force Current is compatible with Garmin chartplotters to create routes and navigate directly to specific waypoints. Adding extra safety to kayak angling, the Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor comes with a wireless wearable tag designed to shut off the motor if it detects you have fallen overboard. Featuring longer run times than brushed motors, the Garmin Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor utilizes a brushless design to increase battery life and ensure your focus is on catching fish instead of the power supply of your vessel.
