Garmin Force Pro 57" Trolling Motor with GT56UHD-TR Transducer
The Force Pro 57" is built for bigger boats and deeper bows — the same electric steering, dual-frequency GPS Anchor Lock, and fully integrated GT56UHD-TR sonar as the 50", but with 7" of additional shaft to keep the prop buried in rough water on 20'+ hulls. If you're running a larger bass boat, walleye rig, or multi-species platform and need the prop down in chop, this is the shaft length to spec.
Why Anglers Choose the Force Pro 57"
100 lbs thrust at 36V — holds position in wind and current that would push lesser motors off target
Electric steering — no cables, no slop, instant response from foot pedal or wireless remote
Anchor Lock with Smart features — GPS-based spot lock with jog, heading hold, cruise control, and route following
Built-in GT56UHD-TR transducer — CHIRP (150–240 kHz), ClearVü, and SideVü (455/800/1000 kHz) without a separate bow transducer install
57" shaft — sized for boats with higher bows or decks where a 50" would cavitate in waves
Dual gas spring lift-assist — smooth, controlled stow and deploy on a longer, heavier shaft
Foot pedal included — wireless, IPX7 rated, adjustable resistance, runs a full season on 2 AA batteries
Quatix smartwatch compatible — control Anchor Lock from your wrist
IPX7 rated — freshwater, brackish, and saltwater rated
3-year warranty with limited lifetime coverage on the shaft
Integrated Sonar — No Extra Transducer Needed
The GT56UHD-TR sends sonar data directly to compatible Garmin chartplotters via the 12-pin orange connector. You get traditional CHIRP down to 800' in freshwater, ClearVü to 400', and SideVü to 500' — all from the trolling motor head. This eliminates the bow transducer cable run and keeps your bilge clean.
Is 57" the Right Shaft Length?
A 57" shaft is typically the right call when your bow height (measured from waterline to the top of the bow deck) is in the 20"–24" range, or when you frequently fish in choppy conditions where a shorter shaft would cavitate. If your bow height is under 18", the Force Pro 50" is likely the better fit. Not sure? See our Garmin Force comparison guide.
