By July 21, 2025No Comments

Garmin launched its Force Current kayak trolling motor, the industry’s first hands-free kayak propulsion system that delivers an all-in-one solution allowing anglers to navigate, troll and fight fish without setting the rod down. The Force Current features a brushless motor purpose-built for kayak anglers with full forward and reverse thrust that makes it easy to navigate in any direction or weave through tight spaces.

“Kayak fishing continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments of recreational fishing. We’re thrilled to expand our Force trolling motor lineup with a premium kayak solution that’s both innovative and intuitive for anglers of all skill levels,” says Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of Consumer Sales and Marketing. “Leveraging Garmin’s most advanced trolling motor technology with our revolutionary hands-free kayak propulsion system, the Force Current will change the way you fish from a kayak.” 

The new Force Current features power steer foot pedals and point-and-go gesture steering with a wireless handheld remote, programmable food pedal button to engage the anchor hook, heading hold and more, wireless chartplotter integration, smart-anchor lock technology and the ability to control throttle and steering from the wrist with a compatible Garmin smartwatch.
