It can be operated wirelessly using AA batteries, or with the included power cable for wired power installation. When battery-operated, the wireless foot pedal will remain charged through one year of typical fishing use. What’s more, Force™ can also be controlled from anywhere on the boat via the included wireless remote. The remote gives anglers complete control of the trollingmotorwithprecisevirtual anchor lock, autopilot functionality, and simple point-and-go gesture steering and includes user-programmable keys for remote Chartplotter control—plus it floats!
