Simrad® RECON™ Trolling Motor Wins Boating Industry Magazine’s 2025 Top Products Award
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (May 5, 2025) – Simrad Yachting, a leader in marine electronics and navigation, has been awarded a 2025 Top Product Award by Boating Industry Magazine for its RECON™ Trolling Motor. Selected by the editorial staff at Boating Industry, the Top Product Awards recognize innovative products that have been recently introduced or significantly upgraded since January 1, 2024. Winners are featured in the May 2025 issue.
RECON is the brand’s first electric steer saltwater trolling motor, featuring a unique joystick remote and best in class power and GPS positioning. Built with a carbon fiber-infused shaft, the new trolling motor is made to battle the elements with best-in-class power and thrust, while the highly accurate GPS anchor holds anglers on the target, no matter the conditions, dialing into an incredible three feet zone. The motor’s brushless technology, combined with the weedless prop, allows for searching into the hardest to reach spots with no loss of control or efficiency.
Complementing RECON is Freesteer™, an industry-first, wearable joystick remote, providing full 360-degree precision steering. The FreeSteer remote revolutionizes positional control with its unique jogging abilities. Additionally, it unlocks the ability to execute diagonal jogs in eight directions. Anglers can also move anchor positions freely, in almost any direction, without re-anchoring the boat.
