Garmin Kraken Features

HIGH POWERED With 100 lbs of thrust, Force Kraken is the most powerful trolling motor on the market.

DESIGNED TO ENDURE The sturdy composite shaft and all components are built to endure harsh marine environments and have advanced corrosion and saltwater protection.

POWER THAT LASTS Efficient brushless motor design has longer run times than brushed motors and allows you to focus on fishing — and not running out of battery.

PURPOSE-BUILT DESIGN This trolling motor is optimized to operate in rough open-water conditions, at either 24 or 36 volts, thanks to the powerful and efficient brushless motor design.

LIVESCOPE™ SONAR CABLE MANAGEMENT Keep your LiveScope sonar cable protected by running the transducer cable through the trolling motor shaft (accessory purchase required).

PERFECT FOR BAY BOATS AND CENTER CONSOLES Get easy installation where bow space is limited, thanks to the pivot-style mount. The 63” and 75” shaft lengths accommodate many different boat sizes and deck configurations.

STAY PUT The anchor lock provides our most precise boat positioning technology with multi-band GPS signal reception to help keep the boat in one place.

FLOATING REMOTE Use the included remote to help you navigate from anywhere in the boat with our simple point -and-go technology.

SMARTWATCH INTEGRATION Connect your compatible Garmin smartwatch to control steering, anchor lock and more from your wrist.

WIRELESS INTEGRATION Connect to your compatible chartplotter to create and follow routes for the trolling motor to follow while you fish.

WHISPER QUIET Don’t spook the fish; the motor is extremely quiet above and below the water.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Garmin Force Kraken

What boats and conditions is the Garmin Force Kraken built for?

The Force Kraken is a bow-mount trolling motor designed for freshwater, brackish water and saltwater, with long shaft options and a pivot-style mount aimed at boats with high freeboard and limited bow space, such as bay boats and center consoles. It installs on the bow, as close to the centerline as the deck allows, with the top of the mount cutout overhanging the gunwale and the U-shape extending over the side. The deck must be strong enough for the motor's weight and working loads, so a backing plate or reinforcement is often required, the motor needs clear travel between stowed and deployed, and large metal objects must stay away from the display panel.

How do I choose among the Kraken's 48-, 63-, 75-, 90- and 110-inch shafts?

Choosing a Kraken shaft starts with a measurement from the bow mounting surface to the waterline, taken with the boat loaded the way you fish it, plus enough extra length to keep the propeller submerged when the bow rises and the water gets rough. Boat length alone does not decide this. Freeboard, bow-to-water height, mounting position, load and sea state all matter, which is why the range runs this wide. Shorter shafts suit lower bows; the 90- and 110-inch shafts exist for tall-freeboard coastal boats where a shorter motor would ventilate. Send your bow-to-water measurement to sales@ecofishingshop.com or call 844-987-5777 and we will confirm the length before you order.

Which Force Kraken variants include the GT56UHD-TR transducer?

Only the black 48-, 63- and 75-inch Kraken configurations include the built-in GT56UHD-TR transducer. The black 90- and 110-inch configurations do not include a built-in transducer, and no white configuration includes one at any shaft length. The equipment varies by shaft length and color, so buyers should not assume every black Kraken includes integrated sonar; the configurations without one are sold with the remote control and no built-in sonar. If your configuration has no built-in transducer and you want sonar off the bow, budget for a separately purchased transducer and the matching mounting hardware. Check the variant you are selecting on this page, and ask us if you want it confirmed before ordering.

What is the practical difference between the black and white Kraken?

Color is the visible difference between the two Kraken finishes, but the equipment difference matters more: black 48-, 63- and 75-inch configurations carry the built-in GT56UHD-TR transducer, while every white configuration ships without a built-in transducer. Published weights differ slightly as a result, with a 48-inch white motor listed at 50 pounds against 51 pounds in black, and a 75-inch white at 54 pounds against 56 pounds. At 90 and 110 inches the published weights match, because neither finish carries a transducer there. Everything else is common: the same thrust ratings, the same pivot mount and the same 24- or 36-volt operation.

How much thrust does the Kraken produce at 24 volts versus 36 volts?

The Kraken is rated for a maximum of 80 pounds of thrust at 24 volts and 100 pounds of thrust at 36 volts, each figure measured per ISO 13342 with the high-efficiency propeller, in relatively calm water and with the motor deployed deeply enough not to ventilate. Those are static forward-thrust figures from a defined test rather than a speed, range or runtime claim, and wind, current, hull weight and how deep the motor is set all change what you feel on the water. The rating is the same across all five shaft lengths and both finishes, so shaft choice is about reach, not power.

What battery bank and circuit protection does the Kraken require?

The Kraken runs on a 24- or 36-volt battery bank capable of supplying 60 amps continuously, connected through a circuit breaker rated for 60 amps continuous that is not included. Published input is 20 to 45 Vdc at 60 amps continuous. Batteries, charger and breaker are all separate purchases, and the breaker must be in the off position before the power cable is connected. A trolling-motor plug and receptacle rated for 60 amps or greater can be fitted for convenience. Wiring and mounting requirements are set out in the Kraken installation instructions. Call us if you want the electrical side specified for your boat before you order.

What comes with the different Kraken shaft lengths?

Every Kraken configuration includes the motor, the floating wireless remote, a high-efficiency propeller, assembly and mounting hardware, and documentation. The black 48-, 63- and 75-inch configurations add the built-in GT56UHD-TR transducer. The 90- and 110-inch configurations add a stabilizer, which supports the longer shaft when the motor is stowed for trailering or rough water. Batteries, a charger, the required 60-amp breaker, a chartplotter, a foot pedal and any LiveScope equipment are all bought separately. If you are unsure what your chosen variant includes, ask us before ordering and we will confirm it against that exact configuration.

Is a foot pedal included with the Kraken, or available separately?

A foot pedal is not included with any Kraken configuration sold on this page; the floating wireless remote is the included control. The Kraken does support a foot pedal as a separately purchased accessory, and once paired it gives momentary and continuous propeller control, a speed wheel for propeller and cruise speed, toe-and-heel steering, a status LED, and dedicated heading-hold and anchor-lock buttons. If you want pedal control, plan for it as an added item rather than assuming it arrives in the box. Contact Eco Fishing Shop and we will confirm the current pedal option for your configuration before you order.

What is required to use LiveScope or Garmin chartplotter integration with the Kraken?

Kraken chartplotter integration is wireless and needs a compatible Garmin chartplotter running its latest software. The chartplotter hosts the network, and where several are installed only one can be the host. Once paired, the trolling motor bar on the chartplotter controls the motor and lets you create and follow routes. LiveScope is a separate system: the shaft provides cable management so a LiveScope transducer cable can be routed inside it, but the LiveScope transducer, its sonar box and the mounting hardware are all bought separately and none of it is included here. A compatible Garmin smartwatch can also control steering and anchor lock.

What warranty and saltwater care apply to the Kraken?

The Kraken carries a three-year limited warranty from the date of first purchase for recreational, noncommercial use, reduced to one year with any commercial use, plus coverage on the composite shaft for the lifetime of the original customer under noncommercial use. Corrosion is excluded, and so is damage caused by inadequate cleaning or improper service of a motor used in salt or brackish water, which makes maintenance part of the coverage rather than an optional extra. After every salt or brackish trip, rinse the whole motor with fresh water and wipe on a water-based silicone spray, and check the propeller drive motor anodes seasonally.
