Experience Unmatched Control on the Water

Imagine gliding silently across freshwater lakes, positioning your boat exactly where the fish are biting, all without breaking a sweat. The Lowrance Recon FW 72" trolling motor delivers that precision with its innovative FreeSteer joystick remote. This isn't just another motor—it's a game-changer for serious anglers who demand responsive handling in tight spots like weed beds or shallow coves.

The lightweight joystick features a vibrant color LCD display, letting you jog in eight directions, including diagonals. No more fighting currents or re-anchoring; simply nudge your way to the perfect drift. Pair it with the included wireless foot pedal—detachable keypad and all—for seamless transitions between hands-free and fingertip control. Whether you're casting from the bow or managing lines from the stern, full integration with Lowrance displays keeps everything at your command.

Precision Steering That Feels Intuitive

What sets this motor apart is its pinpoint accuracy. Enjoy 1-degree steering increments and blistering response times that outpace competitors. The foot pedal's 40 degrees of heel-toe travel mimics the feel of high-end gas outboards, giving you confidence during high-stakes moments like tournament fishing.

Coupled with advanced GPS positioning, it holds spots effortlessly against wind or waves. Anglers report maintaining anchor points within inches, even in choppy conditions—perfect for targeting suspended walleye or schooling bass.

Crystal-Clear Sonar Without the Noise

Diving deeper into tech, the HDI nosecone brings Lowrance's legendary sonar performance right to your motor. Get clean, interference-free images of structure and fish below, thanks to the near-silent brushless motor. Upgrade to Active Imaging 3-in-1 for side, down, and high-res chirp views that reveal baitfish balls and bottom details like never before.

Plug-and-play design means swapping nosecones is a breeze, adapting to your fishing style without tools or downtime.

Built to Withstand Real-World Abuse

Freshwater doesn't always play nice—rocks, stumps, and aggressive trailer handling test any trolling motor. Enter the carbon-fiber-infused composite shaft: virtually unbreakable and backed by a lifetime warranty. User-serviceable components mean you can swap props or clear debris yourself, extending life between services.

Diagnostic codes pop up on the remote, app, or display, pinpointing issues fast. IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off splashes, and backlit controls with LED indicators shine through dawn patrols or dusk bites.

Versatile Features Tailored for Everyday Anglers

Lowrance packed in extras that savvy bass boat owners love: multiple mount points for rod holders or lights, NMEA 2000 connectivity for network-wide control, and a one-hand cam lock for quick depth tweaks mid-fight. At 24V or 36V setups (up to 120 lbs thrust), it powers through heavy loads silently, preserving stealth on pressured waters.

Pivot-style mounting ensures stable deployment, while the compact footprint (11¾” L x 7¼” W x 4½” D) fits most bows without rework.

Why Anglers Choose Recon for Freshwater Adventures

From weekend warriors to pros, this 72" shaft model excels in everything from small ponds to big reservoirs. Its blend of power, smarts, and durability means fewer headaches and more fish in the livewell. Skip the generic motors—invest in one that evolves with your skills.
