Simrad Yachting, a leader in marine electronics and navigation, today announced RECON™, the brand’s first electric steer saltwater trolling motor, featuring a unique joystick remote and best in class power and GPS positioning.
“Simrad® marine electronics are made for saltwater anglers that don’t want to compromise, and our new RECON trolling motor absolutely delivers,” said Kevin Steinbraker, VP and General Manager, Digital Systems at Navico Group. “Nothing can hold you back when it comes to RECON. Its innovative joystick remote and premium GPS and power, combined with a seamless user experience, offers anglers the confidence and precision needed to level up their fishing.”
RECON provides the precision, thrust and resilience anglers need to get closer to their target and keep them there. Built with a carbon fiber-infused shaft, the new trolling motor is made to battle the elements with best-in-class power and thrust, while the highly accurate GPS anchor holds anglers on the target, no matter the conditions, dialing into an incredible three feet zone. The motor’s brushless technology, combined with the weedless prop, allows for searching into the hardest to reach spots with no loss of control or efficiency.
RECON introduces Freesteer™, an industry-first, wearable joystick remote, providing full 360-degree precision steering. The FreeSteer remote revolutionizes positional control with its unique jogging abilities. Additionally, it unlocks the ability to execute diagonal jogs in eight directions. Anglers can also move anchor positions freely, in almost any direction, without re-anchoring the boat.
Simrad Yachting’s first trolling motor, RECON completes the Simrad® suite and delivers a seamless user experience that’s premium at every point. Full display integration via NMEA 2000® brings effortless control to the helm, and configurable remote buttons connect to multiple devices, allowing control from anywhere on the boat. The integrated sonar provides clear visibility of what’s beneath the surface.
The Simrad® RECON trolling motor starts at $3,499 and offers 54, 60 and 72-inch shaft lengths. Additionally, the RECON trolling motor comes with a lifetime shaft warranty.
