Both hands stay on the rod while you troll a ledge, hold a seam or work a shoreline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt puts out 50 lbs of thrust at 24 V and 30 lbs at 12 V from a brushless motor that stays quiet above and below the surface. Full forward and reverse thrust turns the boat in its own length, which is what you need in flooded timber, tight creek arms and grass beds on a lake or river. Two propellers come in the box: a high-efficiency prop for run time and a weedless prop for vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnchor lock and bow lock use multi-band GPS to hold your spot and your heading in wind or current. Pair it with a Garmin chartplotter and the motor follows a route you draw while you fish, or control it from a compatible Garmin smartwatch. The included man overboard tag cuts the motor if it detects you have gone in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Thrust:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 lbs at 24 V, 30 lbs at 12 V (ISO 13342, high-efficiency propeller)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 V or 24 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.4\" min to 16.6\" max, mount to top of drive motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-hole tilt mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in GPS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, dual frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Speed Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 20 steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IPX7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use In:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshwater, brackish water and saltwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoot Pedal Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.63\" x 9.75\" x 3.63\" max, single pedal mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoot Pedal Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 AA batteries, one full season\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2\" diameter, 240 x 240 pixels, sunlight-visible color\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote Battery Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43 weeks, typical use with backlight low\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-year, limited lifetime on the shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Steer pedals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wireless left and right pedals run steering and throttle, with programmable buttons for anchor lock, heading hold and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchor lock with multi-band GPS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holds the kayak on your spot and pointed where you set it, even in wind or a strong current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchor lock jog:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nudge the boat a short distance off the spot without dropping lock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChartplotter integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Build routes and tracks on a Garmin chartplotter and the motor follows them.
