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.
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 48", 63”, 75” and 90” 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.

FAQs
Why is thread-locking compound required during bracket installation?
Thread-locking compound is needed to maintain a tight connection. Not using it can allow water ingress and motor damage.
Can the stow direction be changed after mounting the LiveScope transducer?
The stow direction cannot be changed after installation. Choose your preference before mounting.
Why is thread-locking compound needed during motor installation?
Thread-locking compound is required in the threaded holes to keep a tight connection and prevent water ingress and motor damage.
What tools are needed for LiveScope transducer bracket installation?
You will need #2 Phillips screwdriver, allen wrenches (2.5 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm), diagonal pliers, electrical tape, zip ties, grommet wrench, marine grease, and a torque wrench.
What maintenance step is critical for every use of the LiveScope transducer bracket?
Firmly tighten all LiveScope transducer bracket adjustment knobs before each use.
What template should I use for mounting the Force Kraken Trolling Motor?
You should use the mounting template included in the product box, not a printed copy, to ensure correct sizing and fit.
Is it possible to print the mounting template myself if I lost the original?
While possible, it is not recommended. If you do, follow the instructions carefully and verify 100% scale to avoid errors.
What are the consequences of an incorrectly sized mounting template?
An incorrect template can result in a miscut mounting surface that is too large or too small.
Is Garmin responsible if there is damage when mounting due to template issues?
Garmin is not responsible for damages or expenses from a miscut mounting surface due to not following instructions.
Why is it important to use only hardware included in the LiveScope bracket kit?
Using incorrect bolts or hardware may lead to product damage or failure. Always use the included hardware.
Where should the LiveScope transducer be mounted on the trolling motor?
The transducer can be mounted on either the starboard or port side of the trolling motor shaft. Ensure it doesn't interfere while stowing.
What is the warning before opening the shaft cap?
Disconnect the motor from the power source to avoid electrical shock or damage before opening the shaft cap.
Can the LiveScope transducer be mounted on either side of the trolling motor?
Yes, you may mount your LiveScope transducer on either starboard or port side of the trolling motor shaft.
What should you avoid when removing the propeller drive motor?
Do not pull on the motor itself—support it appropriately and only pull on the cables; do not support the motor with the cables alone.
How should cables be bundled when running through the shaft?
Bundle power and existing transducer cables together with electrical tape, leaving the LiveScope cable separate.
How much slack should be left for the LiveScope cable at the transducer end?
Leave approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in.) of LiveScope cable for repositioning and changing modes.
