Lowrance Ghost Trolling Motor

Brush noise spooks shallow tournament bass, making the Lowrance Ghost Trolling Motor the premier ultra-quiet brushless bow propulsion system for competitive anglers. Operating on multi-voltage 24V or 36V DC systems, this 60-inch motor delivers high thrust without electrical brush whine, keeping bass boats locked on offshore brush piles through blustery tournament conditions.

Constructed around a heavy-duty 360-degree breakaway mount, the assembly absorbs submerged stump impacts by unlatching and resetting automatically. The motor pod uses brushless direct-drive technology to eradicate high-frequency interference on nearby live-sonar transducers. Weighing 51 lbs dry, this motor pulls up to 50A at wide-open throttle, occupying a stowed deck boundary measuring 70 inches long by 12 inches wide.

Key Features of Lowrance Ghost

Professional anglers who buy Lowrance Ghost trolling motor hardware gain dependable fly-by-wire steering for freshwater bass boat rigging. Its integrated brushless lower unit runs cooler than brushed armatures, maximizing battery reserve capacity through multi-day tournament championships without thermal power fade.

- 120 lbs of peak thrust on 36V operation moves heavy multi-species fiberglass hulls against heavy reservoir chop.
- 60-inch composite shaft withstands brutal rock strikes in shallow river timber without permanent bends.
- Brushless motor pod eliminates carbon brush dust, mechanical friction, and high-frequency sonar display interference.
- Fly-by-wire electronic steering foot pedal provides instant response without mechanical steering cable drag or snap.
- Ghost tournament bass boat motor platform links directly with HDS LIVE and PRO units via NMEA 2000 networks.
- Precision GPS anchor lock holds boat position on tournament waypoints regardless of crosswinds or tidal surges.
- Configurable foot pedal shortcuts allow anglers to drop waypoints or toggle sonar views with foot taps.
- Dual-action gas spring assist reduces physical stow and deploy pull weight by over sixty percent.

Thrust Output Amp Draw Efficiencies

Delivering 97 lbs of thrust at 24V and 120 lbs at 36V, this brushless motor pulls 50A at peak throttle while conserving up to 40 percent more battery power than brushed motors. Operating on two or three 12V 100Ah lithium batteries, it sustains 20 continuous hours of tournament fishing at mid-range speeds. The motor slices through thick lily pads without thermal cutoffs, operating virtually silent underwater.

Bow Deck Installation Geometry Clearances

Bolt the cast aluminum scissor bracket to the forward deck using the supplied isolation hardware, maintaining 3.5 inches of clearance past the bow nose. Connect the power leads to a marine-grade 60A manual-reset circuit breaker using 6 AWG tinned copper boat cable. The footprint matches common tournament bass boat bow mounting patterns.

Deck Usability Rigging Inspection Tasks

Operating the fly-by-wire foot pedal provides natural mechanical feedback while allowing tension adjustments through an integrated adjustment screw. This 60-inch trolling motor is not engineered for deep-V saltwater offshore boats with bow freeboard exceeding 38 inches, commercial barges, or ocean sailing vessels.

- Inspect the weedless propeller hub and check for fishing line intrusion after each outing.
- Wash the composite shaft, breakaway bracket, and foot pedal with freshwater after each outing.
- Check foot pedal cable plugs and test 36V battery terminal tightness every 50 runtime hours.
