NuCanoe Pivot Drive and ProNav GPS Trolling Motor at ICAST 2018
I check out NuCanoe's new Pivot Drive pedal system and get to test the ProNav GPS trolling motor with spot lock and gesture steering.
What’s in this video
At ICAST 2018 NuCanoe released a new pedal drive called the Pivot Drive. It was designed to work with all the current popular NuCanoe kayaks. They also announced ProNav GPS and mobile app controlled trolling motors that work with the Frontier and Pursuit models.
We got to test the ProNav and had a lot of fun. It has spot lock, so it’s basically a GPS anchor. It also has a gesture control mode where you move your arm and the motor steers.
Quick takeaways
- The Pivot Drive is designed to fit the current popular NuCanoe models.
- ProNav compatible motors are for the Frontier and Pursuit.
- ProNav spot lock works like a GPS anchor, and gesture mode steers with your arm.
