Lowrance Recon SW Trolling Motor

Description

Hold offshore saltwater reef headings with the Lowrance Recon SW Trolling Motor, engineered with corrosion-proof hardware and high-output brushless technology for harsh coastal environments. Running on 24V or 36V DC power with an extra-long 72-inch composite shaft, this saltwater motor provides virtual GPS anchoring over submerged rock piles without anchor chain noise.

Treated with a multi-layer marine powder coat and sacrificial anode protection, the aluminum scissor mount resists salt spray and coastal UV exposure. The brushless lower unit incorporates double-sealed armature bearings to block corrosive brine intrusion. Weighing 56 lbs dry, this 24V/36V motor draws up to 54A at peak power, occupying a stowed boundary measuring 80 inches long by 13 inches wide.

Key Features of Lowrance Recon SW

Charter captains who buy Lowrance Recon SW trolling motor units secure rugged boat positioning for saltwater GPS anchor motor installations. Its FreeSteer wireless remote provides full vessel control from the helm or cockpit, allowing captains to assist guests while the motor holds coordinates in ripping passes.

• 120 lbs of peak thrust on 36V battery power controls heavy bay boats against fierce tidal outflows.
• 72-inch shaft length keeps the lower unit deep in choppy offshore swells without sucking air.
• Brushless motor pod runs silent underwater, eliminating mechanical clatter that spooks wary inshore gamefish.
• Sacrificial zinc anode mounted to the lower unit prevents galvanic pitting in high-salinity coastal waters.
• Recon SW saltwater bow motor platform connects to Lowrance multi-function displays through NMEA 2000 backbones.
• High-accuracy GPS anchor tracking holds coordinates within narrow radius boundaries in 25-knot gusts.
• FreeSteer handheld remote delivers wireless joystick steering, anchor jogging, and heading hold functions.
• Nitrogen gas lift cylinder absorbs motor deployment shock, protecting gunwales on elevated center console bows.

Thrust Output Amp Draw Efficiencies

Delivering up to 120 lbs of thrust at 36V, this brushless saltwater motor consumes 54A at maximum output, maintaining thermal stability during multi-hour tide holds. Connecting to three 12V 100Ah deep-cycle marine batteries provides over 15 continuous hours of inshore drift control at half power. The lower unit cuts through thick floating turtle grass without tripping breakers, generating under 33 dB(A) of sound.

Bow Deck Installation Geometry Clearances

Fasten the powder-coated aluminum bracket through the forward deck using 316-grade stainless through-bolts and backing plates, allowing 5 inches of rubrail overhang. Connect the main power cable to a 60A waterproof marine circuit breaker using heavy 6 AWG tinned copper wire. The base fits standard bay boat bow mounting profiles.

Deck Usability Rigging Inspection Tasks

Deploying the shaft requires releasing the master stow lever and guiding the lower unit into vertical position until the mechanical latch seats firmly. This 72-inch motor is not engineered for low-freeboard bass boats, small river canoes, or vessels with bow gunwales lower than 24 inches.

• Rinse the entire motor assembly, shaft, and bracket thoroughly with freshwater after each outing.
• Inspect the sacrificial zinc anode for oxidation wear and replace when half depleted.
• Verify battery terminal nut torque and check 60A breaker connections every 50 runtime hours.
