Quick Details
The Garmin Force™ Trolling Motor available with a 50" or 57" shaft is ups the ante with a seemingly endless feature set, cutting edge technology and a rugged design that looks almost sinister...in a good way.
The Force™ is Garmin's offering for anglers who want that "old-school" cable steer feel and responsiveness coupled the latest GPS, sonar and networking technologies.
Garmin has not only been able incorporate traditional, cable steer feel into the Force; they've managed to do it without any cables at all...yup it's wireless.
But the Force™ is no one-trick pony by any stretch of the imagination.
Housed in the vault-like chassis, Garmin has integrated their latest sonar technology into their new trolling motor. These imaging technologies include integrated traditional CHIRP sonar along with High Definition imaging such as their ClearVU and SideVU scanning sonar. It even has a cable management system for seamless installation of Live Scope transducer.
Of course, a motor of this caliber and price (starting at $3,549.99) has many of the GPS features that Minn Kota's i-Pilot system turned into "must-haves" - including anchor lock, auto-pilot, jog feature and more. All of these features can be controlled via the wireless foot pedal wireless remote and even gesture control.
The Force model is available in 50"-57" shaft, a configurable 24v/36v motor with 80lbs and 100lbs of thrust respectively, Wireless foot pedal, full color floatable remote, high efficiency brushless motor, integrated high definition sonar, wireless chartplotter connectivity, gas-piston lift assist, and coiled spring shaft guard.

What fishermen are saying…
i-Pilot is like magic. Like a magician in a black cape standing next to me in my boat sprinkling pixie dust and saying, “Abracadabra! More fish!” Thanks TrollingMotors.net for making this magical purchase so easy and fun. You guys are the best.
Phil in Arcadia, FL
Why buy from Bass Pro or Cabelas when you can buy from these guys? From start to finish this was one of the best, if not the best, online shopping experiences I’ve ever had. The owner answered all my questions, the prices were great, and the motor arrived in two days. Don’t buy anywhere else.

"The personal service provided was fantastic. They responded very quickly to my emails and phone calls. The order was delivered faster than expected. I will definitely (and already have) told others that this is the only place to go for trolling motors.”
Alan in Metairie, LA
"My $1,700 Terrova 80 i-Pilot purchase was a big investment so I was a little nervous ordering my motor online, but I'm sure glad I chose TrollingMotors.net! Not only did they have the motor I was looking for, but I also saved a lot of money. Oh, and the motor arrived the next day. Keep up the great work, guys!”
