Frequently Asked Questions
How much thrust do I need?
A general rule is 2 pounds of thrust per 100 pounds of fully-loaded boat weight. A 3,000-pound bass boat with gear typically needs 60 to 80 pounds of thrust.
What is spot-lock?
Spot-lock is a GPS anchor feature that holds your boat in a fixed location by automatically adjusting the trolling motor as wind and current push you off target.
Which trolling motor works with my fish finder?
Garmin Force and Force Kraken integrate with Garmin chartplotters. Minn Kota motors with i-Pilot Link integrate with Humminbird. Lowrance Ghost and Recon integrate with Lowrance HDS and Elite FS.
