OLATHE, Kan./March 5, 2025/PR Newswire — Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced Force® Pro – a brushless trolling motor with GPS anchor lock plus built-in GT56UHD, Garmin’s latest scanning transducer. Force Pro also adds reverse thrust capability which adds another dimension of control, useful for anglers slowing the boat or backing up through tight quarters, like creeks or dock slips.
Force Pro features a brushless motor that produces 100 pounds of thrust. Now with reverse thrust control, anglers can shift into reverse to control their boat without spinning the motor around..
Utilizing multi-band GPS signal reception and an integrated heading sensor, Force Pro features anchor lock or follow a route or heading hold, allowing anglers to position their boat more near brush piles, schools of fish, channel breaks and more.
Force Pro is optimized for anchor lock—with the push of a button, anglers can automatically position the boat where they want to be. The new reverse thrust feature can reduce steering activity and noise levels.
- Force Pro offers built-in sonar integration with an included GT56UHD, Garmin’s all-in-one scanning transducer that delivers Ultra High-Definition ClearVü and SideVü sonar along with CHIRP traditional sonar for images of structure and fish below and to the sides of the boat.
- Wireless integration with Garmin chartplotters allows anglers to create routes, patterns and tracks for the trolling motor to follow while they fish.
- Connect Force Pro to a compatible Garmin smartwatch to control steering, anchor lock and more, right from the wrist.
- Anglers can fish in low light and know their direction, thanks to the lighted indicator on the trolling motor shaft cap.
- With the included foot pedal or wireless remote, anglers can control of the Force Pro with Garmin’s point-and-go gesture steering.
- Add an optional LiveScope™ transducer for live sonar; Force Pro is designed for installation of the full line of LiveScope live sonar transducers.
