Key Features and Benefits
Dual Voltage Flexibility (24V/36V)
The innovative dual voltage system of the Force trolling motor allows operation with a 24V or 36V battery configuration. This flexibility means you can continue fishing even if one battery runs out – simply switch to 24V operation with two batteries instead of three. At 24V, the motor provides 80 pounds of thrust, while 36V operation delivers maximum power with 100 pounds of thrust.
