The Recon runs on 24V or 36V and holds position within a 3-foot radius using GPS anchoring. The FreeSteer remote allows 360 degree steering and diagonal jogging in eight directions. It connects to Lowrance displays over NMEA 2000, takes plug-and-play sonar nosecones, and uses a carbon-fiber-infused composite shaft.

Good to know

  • Match the shaft length to your bow height and the water you fish; the listing offers 54, 60 and 72 in.
  • Plan for a 24V or 36V battery bank, since this motor doesn’t run on a single 12V battery.

KayakDIY take: This is a boat motor, not a kayak motor, but if you already run Lowrance electronics it ties in nicely. For kayak-sized electronics, see my kayak fish finder guide.
