The original Force trolling motor, introduced in 2019, set a clear benchmark for power, performance and quiet operation — quickly establishing Garmin as a leader in the bass fishing market. Now, with the new Force Pro electric motor, Garmin builds on its reputation with advanced features, seamless system integration and the long-running endurance to give serious anglers even more success in finding and catching the big ones.
A choice of 50” or 57” shaft length combines with a scissor-style mount to make this versatile motor an easy fit for boats of all sizes. Plus, its brushless, whisper-quiet motor and high-efficiency propeller can deliver up to 100 pounds of thrust (in compliance with ISO standard 13342 measurements), giving anglers all the power they need to move quickly from spot to spot on the water. Offering longer run times than brushed motors, this efficient design can be counted on to fish all day without worry of running out of battery.
Other highlights include an improved anchor lock feature that incorporates the most precise Garmin boat positioning technology yet. Multi-band GPS provides superior location reference when in anchor lock, heading hold or while following a preselected route. Also, reverse prop spin and calm-water cable unwrap help reduce motor activity while holding the boat steady — so there’s less chance of spooking the fish. A lighted indicator on the trolling motor’s shaft cap provides helpful illumination to help anglers see which direction they’re heading when fishing in low light conditions.
An improved, all-in-one GT56UHD transducer is also included for built-in sonar capability. It delivers Ultra High-Definition ClearVü™ and SideVü™ scanning sonar along with CHIRP traditional sonar for brilliant image clarity of structure and fish below and to the sides of the boat. An optional LiveScope™ mounting bracket enables any LiveScope transducer (sold separately) to be installed and operated in all three modes — forward, down and perspective view.
Wireless integration with compatible Garmin chartplotters and smartwatches allows users to create routes, patterns and tracks for their Force Pro motor to follow, allowing them to focus on fishing and letting the motor guide the way automatically. It’s easy to make speed and steering adjustments wirelessly from anywhere on the boat with the included foot pedal or remote with gesture control. For added peace of mind, the handheld remote is water-resistant, and it floats, so it can be retrieved if it takes an unexpected dip overboard. In addition, a compatible Garmin smartwatch can be wirelessly connected, allowing boaters to control steering, anchor lock and more, right from the wrist.
The Force Pro motor can be deployed and stowed with ease, thanks to its dual gas springs and sturdy pull cable. Engineered to withstand the rigors of extreme fishing conditions, the motor is salt-water rated for corrosion protection. Like all Garmin trolling motors, this one is backed by a 3-year limited warranty plus a lifetime limited warranty on the sturdy composite shafts. Reliable support is provided through a rapidly growing network of Garmin authorized servicing dealers.
