Garmin has announced its Force® Kraken trolling motor is now available with a 110-inch shaft length – its largest yet – ideal for coastal boats like large centre consoles.
Kraken is engineered with a pivot-style mount for easy installation where bow space is limited and offers anglers power, advanced precision and wireless chartplotter integration.
What anglers love about Kraken
- Kraken’s brushless motor uses a high-efficiency propeller to produce 100 pounds of thrust on a 36-volt system or 80 pounds on a 24-volt system2. With longer run times than brushed motors, it can be counted on all day so there’s more time to focus on fishing, not running out of battery.
- Wireless integration with Garmin chartplotters allows anglers to create routes, patterns and tracks for the trolling motor to follow while they fish.
- Easily install live sonar thanks to Kraken’s LiveScope™ cable management system that lets anglers conveniently route the transducer cable inside the trolling motor shaft. With the Kraken LiveScope Mounting Bracket (additional purchase required), any LiveScope transducer can be installed and operated in all three modes—forward, down and perspective.
- Stay on the fish with Kraken’s anchor lock that features Garmin’s most precise boat positioning technology with multi-band GPS signal reception and integrated AHRS (attitude and heading reference system) to help keep the boat in one place.
- Reverse thrust control allows anglers to quickly shift into reverse to control their boat without spinning the motor around.
- Navigate from anywhere in the boat with the included wireless remote that gives anglers control of the trolling motor with precise virtual anchor lock, autopilot functionality, heading hold and point-and-go gesture steering—plus it floats.
- A compatible Garmin smartwatch, like the new quatix® 8 designed for mariners, can also wirelessly connect to Kraken to control steering, anchor lock and more, right from the wrist.
Rugged and durable, the sturdy composite shaft and all components have advanced corrosion and saltwater protection. It’s backed by a 3-year limited warranty and a lifetime warranty on the shaft, along with support through an ever-increasing dealer network. Expected to be available next month, the 110-inch Force Kraken includes a deck mount stabiliser kit and is offered in both black and white with a suggested retail price of £6,469.99.
