Garmin High Power Lift Assist Gas Spring, For Force and Force Pro Trolling Motors, Spy Pole

Overview

The Garmin 010-13404-90 is an optional high-power lift assist gas spring for Garmin Force and Force Pro trolling motors. It helps reduce the force needed to stow the motor, which is especially useful on setups fitted with a Spy Pole where the extra hardware can make repeated stow cycles feel heavier.

This is a mechanical upgrade for the trolling motor lift-assist system. It is a good match for anglers who deploy and stow the trolling motor often during a day on the water and want a more manageable lift action without changing the motor’s electrical, steering, sonar, or networking setup.

Key features

• Fits Garmin Force and Force Pro trolling motors.
• High-power gas spring upgrade helps lower the effort needed to stow the trolling motor.
• Useful for trolling motor installations with a Spy Pole installed.
• Mechanical lift-assist component with no 12V, 24V, sonar, or marine network connection required.
• Helps make repeated deploy and stow cycles easier during fishing, docking, trailering, and shallow-water moves.

Compatibility and fit

This gas spring is intended for Garmin Force and Force Pro trolling motor installations. Before ordering, confirm that the motor model on the boat is part of the Force family and that the installation has the correct lift-assist location for this upgrade.

Because it is meant to assist with stowing effort, the part is most relevant where the trolling motor is handled frequently from the bow, such as bass boats, bay boats, and other fishing boats that run spot to spot throughout the day.

Installation and setup

The upgrade installs as part of the trolling motor’s mechanical lift-assist assembly. The motor should be supported and handled carefully during installation, since gas springs are load-bearing components and can move under pressure when removed or fitted.

No electrical setup is involved. The part does not require pairing, calibration, software updates, NMEA 2000 integration, or battery wiring. Once installed correctly, its role is limited to helping with the physical stow motion of the trolling motor.
