The Force Kraken trolling motor is engineered with a longer shaft for boats with high freeboards and a pivot-style mount for easy installation in vessels where bow space is limited.
*LiveScope™ transducer not included.
High powered
With 100 lbs of thrust, Force Kraken is the most powerful trolling motor on the market.
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.
Whisper quiet
Don’t spook the fish; the motor is extremely quiet above and below the water.
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.
Designed to endure
The sturdy composite shaft and all components are built to endure harsh marine environments and have advanced corrosion and saltwater protection.
Perfect for deep v hulls
Get easy installation where bow space is limited, thanks to the pivot-style mount. The 48", 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 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.
Included sonar
Get brilliant UHD sonar with the included GT56 transducer.
Ultra HIGH-DEFINITION sonar picture
The brushless motor allows for clear sonar returns with extremely low levels of unwanted noise.
Livescope cable management
Keep your LiveScope sonar cable protected by running the transducer cable through the trolling motor shaft (accessory purchase required).

FAQs
Who is responsible for ensuring safety and proper installation?
The user is responsible for installation, operation safety, and adherence to instructions.
What is the specified torque for mounting the propeller drive motor?
Tighten all six bolts to 4 N-m (35 lbf-in) using a torque wrench.
What if printing your own mounting template?
It is recommended to use the mounting template that came in the product box and ensure printing at 100% scale if printing yourself.
How should locking rings be used on the LiveScope and GT56 transducer cables?
Replacement locking rings are provided, to be installed after cables are routed through the shaft and into the shaft cap.
Is it easier to install the propeller drive motor with a second person?
Yes, removing and reinstalling the motor is much easier with a second person or adjustable stand to support the motor.
Which parts should be kept safe for reassembling the skeg and nose cone?
You should keep all of these screws and parts in a safe place, because you must reinstall them when reassembling the skeg and nose cone.
What is recommended for verifying a printed mounting template for accuracy?
After printing the template, use a ruler to measure at least one dimension line to ensure the template printed to 100% scale.
What should be used to secure power cables inside the shaft cap?
Secure the power cables in the shaft cap using zip ties at the locations you removed them when disconnecting the power wires.
What size should the paper be if printing the mounting template?
The paper size must be larger than the template to ensure the cutout is correct for mounting.
What should be done with the original mounting screws during motor removal?
Dispose of the six original screws securing the propeller drive motor; new screws, washers, and O-rings are provided in the kit.
What safety precautions must be taken before servicing the trolling motor?
Always disconnect the trolling motor from the battery before performing any service to avoid electrical hazards.
Can the LiveScope transducer be mounted on either side of the trolling motor shaft?
Yes, you may mount your LiveScope transducer on either the starboard side or the port side of your trolling motor shaft.
What should you do with removed screws and parts during disassembly?
Keep all screws and parts in a safe place for reassembly later.
What kind of thread-locking compound should be used and where?
Apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound to the threads in the six propeller drive motor holes.
How much LiveScope cable should be left between the downshaft adapter and transducer?
Leave approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in.) of LiveScope cable for repositioning and mode changes.
Should the LiveScope cable be bundled with other cables inside the shaft?
You should only bundle existing power and transducer cables, not the LiveScope cable, with electrical tape inside the shaft.
