*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*

One of the best channels around!!!

For the new technology it’s worth the money. A brushless motor is by far superior to a brushed one not to mention much quieter in this application. It should last a lifetime. All around it seems like a good deal. Thanks for the video showing us the product.

Awesome! Good description too, from one salesman to another. Happy with you guys service from which I just received my new Terrova.

Can’t believe nobody has used a brushless motor years ago, it’s a no brainer

3 grand!?!?? Does it give you a hummer while you fish? I'll stick with my Minnkota and my birds

Good video! I am looking at upgrading this spring. I am looking at Lowrance ghost for sure!

Wow, looks awesome. The one thing I did not see is a hand held wireless remote. That is a must.

@@RussellMarineProductsLLC The one other thing I would change then is a raised directional indicator so that we can see where we are turning from the back of the boat.

Damn... that's more than I paid for my boat...

For $2800 Ulterra. I got stow and deploy, i-Pilot link, follow contour, auto pilot, cruise control, spot lock, power trim, control from my Humminbird unit. Don’t care about battery because I just run a kicker and let the TM do the steering.

Agree with the others, very informative, very helpful video!! Anxious to see the side by side comparison video with the Ultrex.

Confused on the intergration. Do I need the NMEA connection to hook up to my Live Units to control it?? The video was confusing on that part. Said don't need it hooked up to pair... please clarify this!!! I already have Ehternet, I don't want to have to have a NMEA system put in as well!

you will have to have a nmea backbone system for integration of the trollingmotor and live units.

Why not bluetooth or wifi from the gps to the trolling motor? Why do we still have to use nmea2k?

Installing 60” Ghost by the book and several videos. With 36+ V to the pedal, it will not light up stowed or deploy. Similarly Wired MinnKota and MotorGuide 36 V systems with this setup with no problem. What am I missing? Thanks

Lowrance must have scripted these reviews - a lot of this is virtually word-for-word identical to some others I've seen. That said, I'm putting a Ghost on my new Phoenix and I'm pretty pumped about it. Looks like an amazing product.

Please do a comparison on the Garmin as well please!

Another specific test would be a drone shot from above to see how much travel is in the anchor or spot lock features among the units as well. As in set a circle on the screen and an anchor point with split screens and see how close the lock keeps it to the actual position of anchor.

round 2 comparison will have spot lock comparison and we will do a comparison on the garmin trollingmotor when one is available to us

Really interested in the spot/anchor lock feature, that will decide if the Lowrance Ghost will be a good product. I guess minnkota will switch soon to a brushless if noise and efficiency is a big deal.

Russell, any chance they’re working on a 12v model? I have a Bass Tracker and a 2k budget.

Bmw already makes an all electric OUTBOARD (torquedo) so wish Lowrance the best of luck on this really, really competitive market segment at the moment. Now pardon me while I go back to watching This Old Outboard while trolling around in $180 Newport powered by a 40 year old Evinrude 25 horse mounted to a near 60 year old Boston Whaler...all of which is better than anything you not only have but ever will have. But again...wish Lowrance the best of luck!

Great video. I just installed my Ghost, however the prop will not spin while stowed. It has power to foot pedal and all connections are made. Will it only operate while deployed? I’m used to my old Motorguide. Haven’t had a chance to take it to the lake yet…

Can I put this trolling motor bow mounted on a Neel 45 trimaran as a 2nd GPS forward thrust and stern mounted for side thrust in docking?

A few good ideas and features IN THEORY. Remember, this is Lowrance....the KING of warranty problems up the wazoo!! Integration means nothing to me as because of so many warranty and NON-warranty Lowrance graph issues, I'd never be able to use the integration since Garmin has my electronics business. I'd give this years of bug workouts before I touched. I'll be into a Garmin after my Ultrex for sure!

I fish saltwater. Is there a version for estuary anglers?

Is there a handheld remote with lcd screen like the Ultrex ? Is the spot lock the same in terms of not moving off the mark?

This is So So AWESOME !!! Justin, Fantastic job describing the "Ghost". I can't wait to get one. As it was mentioned, will it fit in most trolling motor foot trays ? What is the length of the cable on the "Puck" ? Is all the cables/adapters to the Lowrance units included (Live, Ti2 and Carbon) ? Thanks again and Great job on the video.

can't follow a contour or direct your trollingmotor to a specific waypoint from the graph without integration.

About time they start using brushless motors but going to have to wait 3k seems high plus need saltwater version. Like the 24 or 36v option

Can the foot pedal fit in a R and R aluminum tray

Definitely some interesting new concepts

When are they going to produce a Salt Water version?

Does it have a mount for the Humminbird 360?

Sounds great, but I'll wait 2 yrs till it passes the test of time. My old one will be fine till then.

Will there be a install video on this coming?

Two years later this motor is going strong kzread.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

Great video!

What is the hook for now?

Well it’s not wireless. I hate foot pedal trolling motors. That’s just me.

Awesome video!!

Nice work!

Is this motor capable with other brand Sonar units ?

I have had 3 boats and in my old age I"m considering buying another, a Bass Tracker. All of my boats have had Minn Kotas on them. I bought MK because they are quiet and inexpensive. And I have caught thousands and thousands of bass over my 40 plus years of fishing. I guess I'll stick with my old MK because I ain't spending 3 grand on one. Thanks but no thanks.

What about the weight?

Solid video.

Will this be available in a saltwater version.

Requesting a video on the remote control.

Lowrance is shooting themselves in the foot on this one. Not being compatible with Gen 2 or earlier model displays is a deal breaker for a lot of folks looking to upgrade. C'mon Lowrance! Can't you come up with a black box fix or something?

Interesting,

Honestly... meh. For 3 grand I would expect a bit more at innovation for a trolling motor being released in the year 2019. That cable between the foot control is massive, should be Bluetooth/Wi-Fi wireless at this price point. It’s transducer is limited to extremely expensive fishfinders, in my opinion at this price point they should be integrated and be able to work on as a standalone unit with GPS. For a company that has exclusively manufactured fishfinderes, they missed the mark by not including some rudimentary sonar and GPS built-in. The only true upgrade is the brushless motor, it won’t take Minnkota long to release their version. And it’s kinda ugly. I hate to be that guy, but I don’t think it is a game changer.

$3k....lol. That's where ya'll lost me. When is someone going to make a product that isn't outrageously priced but does what we need? Get real guys

Not a deal-breaker or anything, but the sharp/straight edges on the motor are ugly and makes it look like something from the 80's. Should have more curve/roundness.
