Lowrance Recon FW Trolling Motor
Description
Next-Level Control: Lowrance Recon FW 72-Inch Freshwater Trolling Motor
Revolutionize your freshwater fishing experience with the Lowrance Recon FW 72-Inch (000-16175-001). Built for massive freshwater vessels and high-bow multi-species boats, this motor delivers the industry’s most advanced steering technology paired with elite brushless power. Featuring a high-torque 24/36V dual-voltage motor, the Recon FW ensures you have up to 115 lbs of thrust to conquer heavy winds and currents, while the integrated HDI Nosecone provides crystal-clear DownScan and CHIRP sonar directly to your Lowrance displays.
The standout feature of the Recon series is the FreeSteer™ Joystick Remote, providing 360-degree precision control with the flick of a thumb. This model also includes a wireless foot pedal that is fully customizable, offering the tactile response of a traditional pedal without the clutter of cables. The extra-long 72-inch carbon-fiber reinforced shaft is engineered to maintain depth in heavy big-water swells, ensuring constant traction when other motors would be cavitating at the surface.
Full System Integration and Precision Anchor Lock
Dominate your favorite fishing spots with the ultra-precise Anchor Lock, holding your boat on a dime using high-accuracy GPS. The Recon FW integrates seamlessly with the Lowrance ecosystem via NMEA 2000®, allowing you to control steering, speed, and navigation from your HDS Pro, HDS LIVE, or Elite FS fish finders. With its near-silent brushless operation and zero electromagnetic interference, your sonar images remain crisp, letting you see fish arches and structure with professional clarity.
