Lowrance recently introduced the Ghost X, a 47-inch trolling motor designed for freshwater and featuring an enhanced precision directional indicator, increased power and its quietest motor yet.
“We are excited to launch the all-new Ghost X 47-inch trolling motor, adding another powerful tool to the ultimate fishing system,” said Jeremiah Clark, vice president and general manager of fishing systems at Navico Group (Lowrance’s parent company). “The Ghost X was designed with direct input from customers, allowing us to make meaningful improvements based on their needs. It offers unmatched positioning accuracy, greatly enhanced power and intuitive control. Paired with Lowrance’s top-tier sonar technology, this all-encompassing system allows anglers to eliminate distractions and concentrate solely on what matters most – catching fish.”
With enhanced precision, the Ghost X includes an indicator that provides even greater accuracy and visibility for both sonar and motor direction. The new raised chevrons add a sleek design element while ensuring maximum visibility from all around the boat. The trolling motor also delivers a 20% increase in thrust compared with the original Ghost, empowering anglers to easily navigate strong currents and dense weeds. Also, its quiet operation ensures a stealth approach to any fishing spot.
Beyond precision, Ghost X offers control through an integrated foot pedal or any compatible multifunction display with NMEA 2000 integration. It also introduces a new, alternative method of motor control with an optional GPS remote, which will be shipping later this year. The compact remote design allows users to make positional changes from anywhere on board, and a cruise control button holds the speed over ground. Additionally, a sleek, new LED indicator light ring provides at-a-glance information on mode status, pairing status and battery life.
The Ghost X boasts comprehensive sonar integration capabilities and offers enhanced views with the included Active Imaging 3-in-1 nosecone. Additionally, the motor is compatible with Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 mounting brackets, providing access to live sonar (additional transducer required).
The precision indicator will also be offered as a retrofit, upgrade kit for all Ghost trolling motors, available for purchase through Lowrance’s service center network.
