Rhodan Dealer and Installer
Rhodan GPS Trolling Motor Installation
HYN Marine sells and installs Rhodan GEN 5 GPS anchoring trolling motors in Tarpon Springs, FL. Rhodan builds its motors in Sarasota for offshore and inshore boats, with submeter GPS that holds your bow on a spot in any depth, plus long shafts that stay in the water when it gets rough.
We install at your slip, lift or driveway anywhere in Pinellas County and southwest Pasco County, including Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Clearwater, Largo, Seminole, St. Petersburg, the Gulf beaches, Holiday, New Port Richey and Trinity, or at our shop at 1201 N Pinellas Ave in Tarpon Springs.

What the GEN 5 Does
Anchor mode
Holds the bow on your spot in any depth, correcting for wind, waves and current. No anchor line on the reef or wreck.
Jog
One press moves the boat 5 feet in any direction while it stays anchored, so you can slide up on a mark without resetting.
Track and route
Pulls the boat along a course you choose, or records a route and plays it back on autopilot.
Manual mode
Steer and set thrust wirelessly like a normal trolling motor.
Control
A floating, waterproof Bluetooth fob, an iOS and Android app, a display on the motor itself, and an instant stop button.
Electronics
Connects to Simrad, Raymarine and Lowrance displays through the MFD gateway.
Built for the Gulf
The composite shaft will not corrode and flexes on impact instead of bending. Black and white models carry sacrificial zinc anodes for salt water. A quick release puck with 10 inches of slide makes stowing and removing it simple, and a stowed position sensor keeps it from running while it is put away.
Shaft length matters. Rhodan's own advice: if your boat falls between two sizes, choose the longer shaft so the motor stays under water in the seas you will anchor in. We measure bow height and confirm the size before ordering.
Power for a Rhodan
The GEN 5 runs on a 24 or 36 volt bank and draws up to 50 amps. Lithium is the usual choice because it holds steady voltage all day and weighs far less than lead acid. We install LBP lithium batteries and a lithium charger with the motor so the whole system is matched.
What the Install Includes
- We measure bow height and freeboard to choose the right shaft length and 24V or 36V setup.
- The mount and quick release puck go on the bow, through bolted and sealed.
- We run wiring sized for a 50 amp draw with a breaker, and install the battery bank and an onboard charger.
- We connect your Simrad, Raymarine or Lowrance display if you have one, set up the fob and app, and test Anchor mode on the water.
Questions We Get Asked
Does HYN Marine sell and install Rhodan trolling motors?
Yes. HYN Marine is a Rhodan dealer and installer in Tarpon Springs, FL. We supply the GEN 5, the batteries and the charger and install the complete system.
Will a Rhodan hold my boat offshore?
Rhodan builds the GEN 5 for offshore anchoring. Anchor mode holds the bow on a spot in any depth using submeter GPS and corrects for wind, waves and current.
What shaft length do I need?
It depends on how high your bow sits off the water. Rhodan offers shafts up to 120 inches, and if you fall between two sizes the longer one is the safer choice. We measure your boat before ordering.
Should I choose 24 volt or 36 volt?
Both are available. 36 volt gives more thrust headroom for bigger boats and rougher water; 24 volt suits many bay boats and smaller center consoles. We size it to your boat and how long you fish.
Will a Rhodan work with my Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine or Lowrance?
The GEN 5 connects to Simrad, Raymarine and Lowrance displays through its MFD gateway. It also runs from its own fob and phone app with any electronics.
Can you install a Rhodan at my dock?
Yes, anywhere in Pinellas County and southwest Pasco County. Bigger rewiring jobs can also be done at our Tarpon Springs shop.
