Front electric motor - Fresh water

THE GEOSTATIONARY ENGINE

If you're used to freshwater fishing, whether by boat or float tube, you'll probably have experienced a few annoyances: drifting downwind, the noise of a combustion engine when prospecting, difficulty in finding the spots you've visited... The electric front motor solves most of them, for a more efficient and virtuous practice.

From the simple little pedal-operated electric motor to the self-lifting motor with integrated welder, you'll find a wide range of products to suit your needs in this category.

You'll find the market leader, Minn Kota, offering a whole range of geostationary electric motors for boats, from the most basic, controlled by a cable pedal, to the most powerful, including interconnectivity with Humminbird depth finders.

The most technically advanced motors are equipped with the iPilot function, which replaces the pedal and remotely controls the electric bow motor via a wireless remote control, adding numerous functions such as course following, track storage, etc... This is the case with the minn kota powerdrive motor or the minn kota ulterra, which has the advantage of an automatic lift, for example.

The iPilot Link, on the other hand, is the most advanced system in terms of control, featuring all iPilot functions in a touch-sensitive, customizable remote control and offering motor control via compatible GPS Sounder, automatic contour and relief tracking on LakeMaster charts, etc.

Most models are equipped with a GPS system or SPOTLOCK function (virtual anchor) to compensate for drift and keep the boat perfectly stationary on the water.

THE BOW MOTOR FOR YOU

To help you make the right choice for your electric freshwater bow motor, we've put together a buying guide that you'll find here. For example, you'll be able to determine the power or thrust of the motor (expressed in pounds or lbs) best suited to your boat. This will essentially depend on the boat's length and weight.

Battery voltage will also be an important consideration: 12 V, 24 V or 36 V.
