Garmin Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor Mounting Spacer
Garmin Force Current Kayak Trolling Motor Mounting Spacer — Product description
Rigging a Garmin Force Current trolling motor on a kayak with a stubborn stern shape? This is the little part that saves the install. The Force Current Mounting Spacer drops in between the mount and your hull to open up the clearance the mount needs. Simple, purpose-built, and made by Garmin to fit the Force Current system exactly.
Here's the thing about mounting a Force Current trolling motor on a kayak: not every stern gives you the clearance the mount wants. If the edge of your stern sits close to the bolt holes, the shape of the mount can foul against the hull. That's where this spacer earns its keep.
It's a 20 mm (3/4 in.) spacer that drops in between the mount and your kayak, lifting the mount just enough to clear the curve of the deck. Garmin calls for it when the stern edge lands between 29 mm and 100 mm from the nearest mounting hole, which covers a lot of common kayak layouts. Made by Garmin specifically for the Force Current system, so the bolt pattern and fit are exact, no shimming, no guesswork. If you've been fighting a tight mount, this is the small piece that makes the whole rig sit right.

Frequently asked questions
What does this mounting spacer do?
It adds 20 mm (3/4 in.) of clearance between the Force Current mount and your kayak. That lift keeps the shape of the mount from fouling against the curve of the stern, so the motor sits square.
Which trolling motor is it for?
The Garmin Force Current kayak trolling motor. It's made specifically for that system, so the bolt pattern lines up without any modification.
How do I know if I need the spacer?
Garmin recommends it when the edge of your stern sits between 29 mm (1-1/8 in.) and 100 mm (3-15/16 in.) from the nearest mounting hole. If your mount fouls against the deck in that range, this is the fix.
Do I need extra hardware to install it?
No. The spacer drops in between the mount and the hull using the existing mounting holes. There's no drilling or shimming involved.
