Quiet by name, powerful by design. Lowrance has done it again by raising the bar in trolling motor technology. The Ghost is claimed to be the quietest trolling motor on the market by utilizing an ultra-quiet brushless motor matched with a weedless prop. The following are a few specs that help the Ghost stand out from the crowd.
Reliability
Lowrance claims to have put over 4 years of work and 10,000 hours of testing into making the Ghost the most reliable trolling motor on the water.
Brushless Motor
By using an ultra-quiet brushless motor matched with a durable weedless prop, the Ghost will surely help you get closer to the action without spooking fish. It also boasts a 60% increase in efficiency. Unlike traditional brushed motors, the Ghost emits almost zero electromagnetic interference(EMI), ensuring the clearest, interference-free sonar views on your fish finder display.
Anchoring
Ghost’s powerful anchoring technology lets you lock-on to a location or waypoint no matter what the weather conditions might be.
Power Pole Integration
Lowrance has nicely integrated controls for your Power Pole anchor system. Quick access keys are built right in to the foot pedal making for easy control.
Display Integration
Integrate your electronics and setup shortcut keys into your foot pedal to communicate to your HDS LIVE, HDS Carbon and Elite Ti2 displays enabling you to save waypoints and control anchoring systems with ease.
Fly by Wire
Lowrance ditched the traditional cable-steer design and went with a smooth Fly by Wire methodology eliminating the problems of worn physical cables.
Customizable Foot Pedal
Smart Pedal anyone? The Ghost comes with a game-changer smart pedal that allows you to program shortcut buttons and a flip switch that enables the angler to control the trolling motor from either side. A built-in battery level indicator gives you a visual on your batteries charge. Other features include quickly dropping waypoints and raising or lowering your Power-Pole anchor via shortcut keys.
24 or 36
The Ghost trolling motor is able to work in either 24V or 36V systems allowing it to integrate in any setup you might be running.
Rugged
It can be rough out there. The Ghost boasts a 360 degree breakaway mount with an integrated stabilizer bar allowing you to bounce off and deflect many of the obstructions that you might encounter.
Easy Stow and Go
A dual-action gas spring helps you stow the trolling motor quietly and without the need to align the motor’s lower unit. Deploying the motor is also quieter thanks to the dual-action gas spring.
Where to Buy
You can find the Lowrance Ghost trolling motor at all of your favorite outlets. As of the time of this writing, the going price is pretty consistent at $2999.99 at Amazon, BassPro, Cabelas, and Academy Sports.
Accessories
A few of the common accessories that anglers are buying along with their Ghost trolling motors are extra weedless props, active imaging 3-in-1 nosecone transducer, and the TMR-1 Remote.
Lowrance has really outdone themselves with the introduction of the Ghost trolling motor. It is packed with features and lacks one very important thing, noise! Their tagline for this product is “Quiet by name, powerful by design.” I have to agree with them. This product is definitely living up to the claims.
