Key Takeaways

Incredible and Reliable Performance

If you’re looking for a trolling motor that will exceed your expectation at all times, then Lowrance’s Ghost motor won’t disappoint.

With the Lowrance Ghost trolling motor, you can zoom from one spot to another with up to 25% more thrust power than most motors. Thanks to its brushless motor, you can enjoy this power for up to 60% longer than others.

That being said…

…you can enjoy the Ghost at top speeds without compromising the battery life, thanks to its advanced brushless motor. What else can you ask for?

But that’s not all.

In addition to the amazing silence thanks to its brushless motor, it’s also interference free. That means it doesn’t only run quietly but also releases zero electromagnetic interference.

In case you’re wondering, that means you have the best, clearest interference-free sonar views on the interface of your fish finder!

I was able to enjoy such speed and power for over 3 hours of kayak fishing the very first time I used it.

Suffice to say, you can stay later than usual and fish more!

Whisper Quiet Operation

Believe it or not, the Ghost is famous for being extremely quiet with the most thrust.

You can glide through the water and get to your destination without disturbing the fishes underneath with the help of this new ghost motor ultra quiet technology.

Thanks to its brushless motor, you can enjoy catching tons of fish. Most importantly, you don’t have to live with that loud and annoying motor sound while you enjoy your day fishing.

As if that’s not enough…

…it also has an integrated stabilizer bar that reduces the bouncing sensation whenever you’re cruising in rough water.

This came in handy if you’re the adventurous type of kayaker who loves cruising in aggressively running bodies of water just like I did a couple of weeks ago!

Its foot pedal cable is attached ever so securely with durable clips so you’re assured that it will never move around the deck.

The new Ghost trolling motor fly-by-wire steering lends the Lowrance Ghost trolling motor a smooth cable-steer motor feel minus the mechanical cables that will eventually disintegrate after some years.

Despite these amazing features…

…what I love about the Lowrance trolling motor is that I can still control its autopilot features, which is a big plus for me.

I mean, remember whenever you’re using a really cool high-tech gadget with those cool automatic functions and you find yourself without any freedom to customize them according to your preference? With this trolling motor, I still have more freedom to tailor it according to my desired setting which is really great.

Anchor Your Destination

If you’ve already found that perfect spot out there, all there’s left to do is to simply anchor your place. This is made possible thanks to the Ghost’s anchor feature which we absolutely love.

You can spend a long time in your favorite spot without any interruption of your kayak aiming directionless. Regardless of the wind conditions, you remain rooted to where you are.

This feature comes in very handy if it starts getting windy and your boat gets blown in the opposite direction. All you’ll have to do next time is press the control with your foot to anchor or release your boat.

Here’s the kicker:

You can also choose the perfect pedal settings you want for your Lowrance Ghost trolling motor. All you have to do is flip the switch towards your desired pedal side and program its shortcut keys according to the functions you use most.

And this is when you can make use of its Anchor function!

You can save your waypoints or raise and lower your Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchor.

This is also where you can monitor your Lowrance Ghost trolling motor battery level or switch to Anchor or Heading mode with just a touch of your foot!

Too good to be true? I think not!

Connectivity With Fish Finder

Lowrance Like to do products that are connectible to each other, so they adapted their High tech Ghost trolling motor with the Lowrance Elite Ti2

If you think that doesn’t sound like it’ll make a difference, let me tell you that it made my fish kayaking time a lot easier, more streamlined, and straightforward. No fuss anymore and I was able to focus on locating and catching more fish!

Techie indeed.
