Lowrance Introduces New Recon Trolling Motors Built for Fresh and Saltwater Anglers
Tulsa, Okla. (July 17, 2024) – Lowrance, a world-leader in fishing electronics, today announced Recon, a new generation electric steer trolling motor, developed for both fresh and saltwater anglers, featuring a unique joystick remote and best in class power and GPS positioning.
“This is an exciting launch for Lowrance because not only are we introducing the next generation of trolling motors but we’re also offering a version for saltwater anglers for the first time,” said Jeremiah Clark, VP & General Manager, Fishing Systems at Navico Group. “Recon is all about control – of your boat, your position and your catch. Between the premium power and GPS and unique joystick remote, Recon takes care of all the heavy lifting so anglers can focus on the fish.”
Recon gives anglers total control and the confidence to go anywhere. Recon introduces Freesteer, a lightweight, wearable joystick remote providing full 360-degree precision steering. Combined with a wireless foot pedal* with programmable keypad and seamless display integration via NMEA 2000, Recon delivers precision like nothing else on the market.
Recon is built to put anglers on the target and keep them there. Best-in-class power and thrust give them the confidence to get into position, while the highly accurate GPS anchor holds them on the target, no matter the conditions, dialing into an incredible three feet radius. The FreeSteer remote revolutionizes positional control with its unique jogging abilities. Additionally, FreeSteer unlocks the ability to execute diagonal jogs in eight directions. Anglers also have the option to move anchor positions freely, in almost any direction, without having to re-anchor the boat.
The brushless technology combined with the weedless prop, allows for searching into the densest weeds with no loss of control or efficiency. Recon’s silent brushless motor doesn’t spook fish, and the integrated sonar technology offers the clearest high-resolution pictures. The Lowrance Recon offers an upgradeable sonar nosecone option.
The Lowrance Recon trolling motor starts at $3,299 and is available in fresh and saltwater versions. The freshwater is available in 48, 54, 60 and 72-inch shaft lengths, while the saltwater version is available in 54, 60, and 72-inch shaft lengths. Additionally, the Recon trolling motor comes with a lifetime shaft warranty.

Thanks to various boating writer demo trips, I’ve gotten to experience how valuable a good trolling motor can be for fishing. But I can picture other uses, like slow quiet exploration and photography. In fact, my current “next boat” dream involves a fast single-outboard 29-footer that’s tough enough for long-distance coastal cruising. A bow-mounted trolling motor might be a reasonable substitute for the available bow thruster while also adding a very different propulsion option?
By the way, Simrad will also offer the saltwater Recon: https://www.simrad-yachting.com/recon/
