Lowrance Recon™ FW 48" Trolling Motor - Includes Freesteer Joystick Remote, Wireless Foot Pedal & HDI Nosecone Product Description

Imagine gliding silently across the water, pinpointing your spot with effortless precision, and never missing a strike because your trolling motor couldn't keep up. The Lowrance Recon FW 48-inch model transforms those fishing dreams into reality for freshwater enthusiasts. With its brushless motor humming near-silently at 24V or 36V, this powerhouse delivers up to 120 pounds of thrust, letting you tackle tough currents and windy days without breaking a sweat.

Master Your Position with FreeSteer Innovation

At the heart of the Recon's appeal is the FreeSteer joystick remote—a lightweight powerhouse with a color LCD screen that puts total control in your hands. Forget rigid anchoring; this system lets you jog the boat in eight diagonal directions for micro-adjustments. Drift too far from that hot spot? A quick nudge repositions you without hauling anchor. Pair it with the included wireless foot pedal, featuring a detachable programmable keypad and 40 degrees of heel-toe travel, and you've got onboard command from bow, stern, or anywhere in between. Full integration with Lowrance displays means steering, speed, and GPS data all sync seamlessly via NMEA 2000.

Steering That Thinks Like an Angler

Precision isn't just a buzzword here—it's engineered into every turn. Enjoy 1-degree steering increments and blazing-fast response times that outpace competitors. Whether you're weaving through structure or holding steady over a deep-water hump, the internal compass sensor ensures spot-on autopilot maneuvers and turn patterns. Anglers report easier boat handling in tight coves, where even small adjustments can mean the difference between a bite and a blank stare at the water.

Sonar Ready for the Win

Diving below the surface starts with the HDI nosecone, built for plug-and-play Lowrance sonar integration. Get crystal-clear chirp imaging at medium/high frequencies or 455/800 kHz without propeller noise interference. Craving more? Upgrade to Active Imaging 3-in-1 for side, down, and high-wide views that reveal fish-holding cover like never before. It's like having a fishfinder pod right at the motor head, feeding data straight to your chartplotter for real-time decisions.

Built to Withstand the Grind

Freshwater doesn't always play nice—snags, rocks, and rough launches test any motor. The Recon fights back with a carbon-fiber-infused composite shaft that's earned a lifetime warranty. User-serviceable components mean quick fixes in the field, backed by clear diagnostic codes on the remote, app, or display. IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off splashes, and the pivot-style mount with one-hand cam lock depth collar adjusts on the fly. Multiple accessory points let you add lights, cameras, or extras without hassle.

Every Detail Geared for the Long Haul

Lowrance designs with real-world fishing in mind: backlit controls and LED indicators shine in low light, ensuring you stay in command from dawn patrol to dusk. The near-silent operation keeps fish unsuspecting, while GPS-guided positioning anchors you automatically. Three-year motor warranty seals the deal, but savvy users extend life with simple rinses after brackish trips and battery checks before outings.

Pro Tips for Peak Performance

To maximize your Recon, balance batteries evenly for 36V runs, and calibrate the compass in calm water for flawless autopilot. Pair with Lowrance Ghost charts for advanced route-following, turning long drifts into productive patrols. Anglers love customizing the foot pedal for spot-lock shortcuts—program yours for instant access to your favorite functions.
