Wireless pedal for Force motor

The Garmin Force wireless pedal is an accessory designed for Garmin Force electric motors. It offers precise and responsive control, replicating the feel of a cable pedal while allowing freedom of movement on the boat thanks to its 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity.

Dimensions (L×W×H) : 303 × 221 × 110 mm (11 15/16 × 8 11/16 × 4 5/16 in)
Weight : 1.8 kg (4 lb)

The Garmin Force wireless pedal is made of plastic.

Battery life is at least 1 year with two AA batteries.

Yes, the pedal has an IEC 60529 IPX7 ingress protection rating. This means that it is resistant to accidental immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for a maximum of 30 minutes.

The wireless pedal uses a 2.4 GHz radio frequency with a 0.72 dBm nominal power.

Yes, you can adjust the pedal tension if it moves too easily or not enough. A tension adjustment screw is located on the left side of the pedal. Turn the screw clockwise to increase tension, and counter-clockwise to decrease it.

The safe distance for the compass is 60 cm (2 feet).

This wireless pedal is specifically designed to be compatible with Garmin Force electric motors.

The pedal can operate with two AA alkaline, NiMH, or lithium batteries. For best results, it is recommended to use lithium batteries.

The pedal can be powered in two ways:

Independently, using two AA batteries (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium, not included). By connecting it to a boat's power source (between 10 and 45 Vdc) via the supplied power cable.

To secure the pedal to the boat deck, you will need:

Four 5 mm (#10) stainless steel self-tapping screws. A drill and a 3 mm (1/8 in) drill bit. Marine sealant to seal the screws.

Lift the front of the pedal as far as possible. Pinch the sides of the battery compartment cover and pull up to remove it. Insert two AA batteries, observing polarity. Replace the cover over the batteries and press until both sides click into place.

It is not mandatory to fix the pedal to the deck, but it is strongly recommended, especially if you power it with batteries. An unfixed pedal could slide on the deck and fall overboard.

It is recommended to use 5 mm (No. 10) stainless steel self-tapping screws. The length of the screws must be determined based on the material of your boat's deck.

No, the mounting hardware (screws, etc.) to attach the pedal to the boat deck is not supplied with the product.

Route the included power cable to the boat's battery or circuit breaker, and to the location where you plan to use the pedal.Connect the red wire to the positive terminal of the battery or circuit breaker, and the black wire to the negative terminal.Insert the power cable connector into the port located under the pedal and turn the locking ring clockwise to secure it.Route the power cable through the channel located under the pedal.

No, if you connect the pedal to the boat's electrical system, you must not install AA batteries. Batteries left in the pedal for extended periods can corrode and cause damage.

Ensure the housing is already installed in your boat's deck. Place the pedal in the housing and test its height. If necessary, use temporary shims to adjust the height, then fabricate a permanent shim. Connect the power cable if using this option, or ensure the power connector weather cap is securely fastened if using batteries. If using a shim, attach it to the bottom of the pedal (optional). If you do not intend to secure the pedal to the bottom of the housing, simply place the pedal. If you plan to secure it, use the provided mounting template, drill pilot holes, and attach the pedal (and shim if necessary) to the housing with appropriate mounting hardware and marine sealant.
