I watched a ton of videos and listened to several people. The more experienced ones recommended Garmin. So I bought it. I really do love it. The anchor, power, smoothness is amazing. I can't say enough about this and the ability to control it with the remote. I also didn't have to have a degree from minn kota university to understand it. Simple. I have not used the foot pedal at all yet. I saw a complaint in one of the videos and noticed in the manual, they added an option to resolve it. I use it at 24V and the power is off the charts. It stays right at the spot very well even on very windy days. I use it with a Tracker V-16. I can't wait to get a Garmin fish finder.

I just got one. I can't wait to use it!

Please make a longer shaft motor or a different deploy mechanism for our higher, big water boats! Your 57” just almost will work.....almost ! And the deploy mechanism is huge ! Just can’t make it all fit on my Duckworth 😢

I’ve had every manufacturer of trolling motors. This beats all of them hands down.

Minute 03:46 shows different transducer (GT56). I thought the Force has only GT54 ;-)

if you stow the motor while power is on does it auto shutoff or do you need to shut it off before stowing?

Thank you for your question. No, it does not have an auto-shutoff feature. You would need to shut it off before stowing.

Garmin need to make a white, saltwater trolling motor

Just bought a boat with a minn Kota ulterra, it’s cool but I’m a garmin guy. So… it and the hummingbirds are coming off.

Is there a way to stop the beep in the remote?

Thank you for your question. Yes. Under Settings>Remote>Beeper, you will be able to turn the keytone on/off. I hope this helps.

Please fix the problems with the trolling motor. One of my biggest gripes is the prop turning off when switching modes. I’ve almost ran in rocks many times because the prop switched off. The pedal - I don’t use the pedal but I know everyone hates it. Fix the problems!

@@phillamoore157 ok, perfect example is if you are cruising along with the speed of the prop set by the number (I think it goes 1 to 20). Now say you go into the cruise control mode to set the speed you want to go at. Let’s say you go from a power of 10 to a speed at 3 mph. The prop shuts off and you have to hit the prop button to re-engage it into cruise mode . Why?
