Garmin Marine Webinars: Garmin Force Trolling Motor 

Turning the motor will cause interference. Also would have like to see a GT56 on the TM for the price, as is though the GT56 won’t fit. I’d also love to see a follow contour feature instead of having to build a route on Active Captain. If you guys could nail down the GT56 and follow contour you could easily draw more people on the fence over to what’s already the best on the market. Great trolling motor I’ve owned 2 Ultrex’s and a ghost and the force is the best so far. and I love it just giving my experience so far.

Plastic bushings went bad pretty quick with little use. I got replacements so let's see how long those last after the warranty

I love the motor. The integration with the chart plotter is superb. My major two gripes: 1) it's too powerful for smaller boats. I have the sensitivity on 1 and it's still to powerful. It needs to be dialed down alot more. 2) I hate the prop switching off when you change different modes. Example, I go off anchor mode to move spots and I point to where I want to go and dial up the power, then notice that nothing is happening and the prop is disengaged = frustration.

57" shaft length isn't long enough. Please make this in a 63-65 inch shaft model. And also make an Ulterra competitor with shaft lengths up to 70 inch + range with remote stow and deploy.

Beautiful, but when are you releasing an equivalent to my Minn Kota 112lb 72” auto deploy???

In canada it is going to cost me 5.000$ canadian dollars , and for this insane price there is no auto stove and deploy option??? Crazy

I am a garmin user in Japan. I am currently using a garmin MFD for offshore boat fishing in saltwater and am very happy with Garmin's products. My boat (YAMAHA YFR24) is equipped with a Minn Kota trolling motor and I would like to replace it with a Garmin Force. Are there any plans to release a model with a shaft longer than 70 inches?

Please bring the 72" shaft one to us

Super!

I couldn't be more disappointed with the Garmin trolling motor. I have used it 4 times. The first two times it seemed to work fine. the 3rd and 4th time it ruined my fishing trips. It drove erratically. It did severe turns at high speeds and would never settle in. The "Anchor" feature would have run me into a stationary boat if I hadn't turned it off a couple seconds before the collision. The heading hold feature also doesn't work. Now I read that there might be a crack in the heading sensor because the motor was allowed to go lower than it was designed to handle. The solution given is to run the motor six inches higher, which sucks because the shaft is already shorter than optimal for nearly any boat. It won't be long enough for my Carolina Skiff if there are 6" waves.

Just purchased did not come with stabilizer as mentioned in this video. What do I need to do?

How about when I’m in shallow water and I get my bait stuck? Often times with my trolling motor I’ll pull it partly out of the water to get the shallow draft, and to keep my prop from getting banged up. Will I be able to do this with the auto stow feature when it automatically goes to the side as soon as I take it out of the water?

I have two Garmin fish finders and would love to purchase the Force this year... but I will get a competitor's trolling motor just because the cost is so outlandish.

I have the Force 57". What are the optimal batteries I should use? Current batteries continue to trip my 60 amp breaker.

Is the 57" really only comparible to competitors 45" shaft in length? I have a bay style boat and want a force but am concerned about shaft length.

Where is the longer shaft? You have abandoned us walleye fisherman who have invested in outfitting our boats with Garmin electronics.

Will it run a depth line from maps? How do you adjust the motor depth, up and down?

Will the GT 56 transducer fit on my Force trolling motor?

I built a 900ah lifepo4 battery for my garmin force the battery weights only 39 pounds

Will force motor mount to Minn Kota quick mount?

Will it work on the Robalo R200 its 3000 lb deep v ?

Does the remote float?

Every time I use spot lock the motor shake my boat hard I think maybe it’s strong for aluminum bass boat 🤔 😭😢

Good for saltwater?

Seems there is still no surface alloy which is completly repel saltwater . Only saltwater resistant

just one version of trolling motor? how about some price points next time?

Guys, how about a longer shaft for us saltwater fisherman? Any plans? You’re losing market share!
