Lowrance®, a world-leader in fishing electronics, today announced the Ghost® X 47-inch trolling motor, designed for freshwater and featuring an enhanced precision directional indicator, increased power, and the 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, VP & General Manager, Fishing Systems at Navico Group. "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."

Ghost X is packed with features designed to keep anglers dialed in on the fish. With enhanced precision, the new trolling motor 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 Ghost X also delivers a 20% increase in thrust compared to the original Ghost trolling motor, empowering anglers to easily navigate strong currents and dense weeds. Plus, it operates as the quietest motor yet, ensuring a stealth approach to any fishing spot.

Beyond precision, Ghost X offers superior control through its integrated foot pedal or any compatible multifunction display with NMEA 2000® integration. It also introduces a new, alternative method of motor control with the optional GPS remote which will be shipping in Q3 of 2025. This unique, compact remote design allows users to make positional changes from anywhere onboard, and the useful 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 new trolling motor boasts comprehensive sonar integration capabilities and offers enhanced views with the included Active Imaging™ 3-in-1 nosecone. Additionally, the Ghost X is compatible with Lowrance ActiveTarget™ 2 mounting brackets, providing access to live sonar. *

Additionally, the precision indicator will also be offered as a retrofit upgrade kit for all current Ghost trolling motors. This kit is available for purchase through Lowrance's service center network. To locate your nearest service center, visit www.lowrance.com/Dealer-Locator.
