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.
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
What maintenance is suggested for grommet and cable installation?
Apply a thin film of included marine grease to grommets and cable sections during installation.
Should I use the included mounting template or print my own for installation?
It is recommended to use the template that came in the product box to prevent incorrect sizing on your mounting surface.
Is marine grease recommended during installation of grommets and gaskets?
Yes, apply a thin film of included marine grease to grommets, cable sections, and O-rings for optimal sealing and protection.
What is recommended when applying marine grease during grommet or gasket installation?
Apply the included marine grease to the grommets, gaskets, and section of cable passing through the grommet for better sealing and protection.
What should you do with the original propeller drive motor screws during installation?
Dispose of the six screws. New screws, washers, and O-rings are provided in the kit and should be used for installation.
What should be done with the old mounting screws when installing the drive motor?
Dispose of the six old screws; new screws, washers, and O-rings are provided and must be used.
Are there any special considerations for choosing transducer mounting side?
You may mount your LiveScope transducer on the starboard or port side of your trolling motor shaft. Once installed, the motor can only stow in one direction, so choose which side you want the propeller to face when stowed.
What thread-locking compound recommendation is given for reassembling the drive motor?
Apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound (not included) such as LOCTITE 243 to the threads in the six holes before installing the new bolts.
What hardware should be used when mounting the LiveScope transducer?
Only use the hardware included in the kit; using incorrect bolts may cause product damage and failure.
What is the recommended torque for the mounting puck hex head screw?
Tighten the hex head screw to 7 N-m (62 lbf-in) when securing the mounting puck.
What side will the propeller face once LiveScope is installed?
After installing the LiveScope transducer, the motor can only stow in one direction and the propeller stow side cannot be changed.
How should the LiveScope cable and power cables be routed after mounting?
Route the LiveScope cable alongside the coil cable to the GLS 10, using electrical tape to hold the cables together.
What safety information should be followed before working on the motor?
Consult the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for warnings and disconnect motor from power.
Where can the LiveScope transducer be mounted on the trolling motor shaft?
The LiveScope transducer can be mounted to either the starboard or port side of the trolling motor shaft.
What is the proper way to remove the propeller drive motor during service?
Do not pull on the motor itself; pull the cables only to avoid damaging connections.
When should the trolling motor be disconnected from the power source?
Always disconnect the trolling motor from the battery before servicing or opening the shaft cap to avoid electrical shock or damage.
