Garmin Force™ Trolling Motor Remote

The Garmin Force Trolling Motor Remote (model 010-12833-00) is a wireless point-and-go control system designed to deliver hands-free operation of compatible Garmin Force trolling motors. Unlike traditional foot-controlled systems, this remote puts precise motor management directly in your hands, allowing anglers to maintain focus on fishing while commanding speed, direction, and positioning from anywhere on the deck.

The built-in sunlight-readable display ensures clear visibility in bright conditions—a critical feature for saltwater and offshore environments where glare off the water can wash out standard LCD screens. The compact design (3 x 2 x 8 inches, 0.5 lbs) keeps the remote lightweight and maneuverable, reducing fatigue during extended fishing sessions. Wireless connectivity eliminates cable runs across the gunwale, reducing clutter and tripping hazards while improving the overall aesthetics of your boat setup.

This remote is built for both weekend bass and panfish anglers seeking better boat control and serious saltwater fishermen working offshore structure where precision positioning matters. The hands-free control system is particularly valuable in single-angler operations, allowing one person to manage trolling motor output while maintaining rod control. Compatibility with Garmin Force motors ensures seamless integration with modern integrated fishfinding and navigation systems, streamlining your helm setup into a cohesive electronics ecosystem.

The remote control approach represents an evolution beyond traditional foot pedal systems, offering improved mobility and control consistency, especially in rough water or when standing to sight-fish shallow areas. For boaters upgrading from mechanical or basic electric trolling motors, this represents a significant quality-of-life improvement on the water.
