The Garmin Force Trolling Motor 50" Shaft is a freshwater bow-mount unit built for tournament anglers and serious fishermen running boats in the 18 to 24 foot range. It pairs a high-efficiency brushless motor with built-in autopilot, giving you precise, near-silent boat control without fighting the wind or current all day. The 50-inch shaft suits shallower-decked hulls where a longer shaft would be overkill. If you're comparing options across our trolling motors lineup, the Force stands out for combining strong thrust with sonar integration in a single package.
Power comes from a brushless motor running on dual voltage, configurable as 24V or 36V. At 24V it produces 80 lbs of thrust; step up to 36V and it delivers 100 lbs, measured per the relevant marine testing standard with the high-efficiency propeller. Boat control runs through a wireless foot pedal and a floating handheld remote with a sunlight-readable display, so there's no cable to trip over on deck. The autopilot uses an onboard heading sensor and satellite positioning for anchor lock and heading hold. Integrated traditional, ClearVu, and SideVu scanning sonar feed your compatible Garmin chartplotter wirelessly, and dual gas springs make deployment and stowage manageable. Sonar noise interference is held to nearly imperceptible levels.
Anglers running flats, reservoirs, and large freshwater systems use the Force to hold position over structure, follow contour lines hands-free, and stay locked on a spot while working a bait. Anchor lock alone saves a lot of trolling motor battery and rod time on windy days. The 3-year limited warranty, backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the shaft, reflects how the unit holds up to regular fishing. When you set it up, browse our Garmin foot pedal and other trolling motor accessories to dial in your rigging.
It delivers 80 lbs of thrust when wired at 24V and 100 lbs at 36V, measured with the high-efficiency propeller. The dual-voltage motor lets you choose your battery configuration based on the thrust you need and the boat you're running.
Garmin specifies the Force as a freshwater bow-mount motor for boats in the 18 to 24 foot range. The 50-inch shaft works well on hulls with lower bow decks, where it keeps the prop deep enough without excess shaft length above the waterline.
Yes. It integrates traditional CHIRP sonar along with Ultra High-Definition ClearVu and SideVu scanning sonar. Sonar data feeds wirelessly to compatible Garmin chartplotters, with full support on GPSMAP 8400/8600xsv and ECHOMAP Ultra units.
Control runs through a wireless foot pedal and a floating handheld remote with a sunlight-readable display. The built-in autopilot adds anchor lock and heading hold using an onboard heading sensor and satellite positioning, so you can keep your hands on the rod.
The Force runs a brushless motor on dual voltage, configurable as either 24V or 36V. Some listings have shown an incorrect 12V rating; per Garmin specifications the correct operation is 24V or 36V depending on your battery setup.
