Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right shaft length?

Match shaft length to bow height, boat size, and the water conditions you fish most often. Taller bows and rougher water generally call for more shaft length.

Should I choose Recon or Ghost?

Choose Recon when you want the newer FreeSteer joystick-focused platform and FW/SW model choices. Choose Ghost or Ghost X when you want the proven freshwater Ghost platform.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Confirm the water type, shaft length, voltage, mounting fit, and control setup that matches your boat.
