Big boats catch a lot of wind, and a trolling motor that can't push back turns a good spot into a constant chase. The Force Kraken puts out 100 pounds of thrust at 36 volts, and Garmin bills it as the most powerful trolling motor in the industry. This is the black version, with the same motor and electronics as the white one.

What It Does on the Water

Garmin built the Kraken for boats with tall bows and not much room up front. The pivot-style mount fits where a scissor mount won't, and the shaft comes in five lengths from 48 inches to 110, so it covers everything from a deep-V walleye boat to a big center console.

Anchor lock holds you on the spot with multi-band GPS. A GT56UHD-TR transducer is built into the motor, so you get ClearVü and SideVü without hanging anything off the transom. If you run LiveScope, the cable can go down the inside of the shaft with the Kraken mounting bracket (sold separately), which keeps it from getting pinched every time you stow.

The Kraken talks wirelessly to compatible Garmin chartplotters, so you can steer to a waypoint or follow a route right from the screen. The included remote covers the rest when you're up front with a rod in your hand.

Picking a Shaft Length

The longer the distance from your deck to the water, the longer the shaft you'll want. The 48-inch starts at $3,599.99 and the 110-inch is $6,099.99. If you're stuck between two sizes, send us your boat model and we'll help you choose.

Best For

Deep-V and big-water boats with tall bows and tight deck space that need the most thrust Garmin makes.

Important Notes

Pick your shaft length to match your bow height: 48, 63, 75, 90 or 110 inches. The GT56UHD-TR transducer is built in. Running LiveScope through the shaft takes the Kraken mounting bracket and a LiveScope transducer, both sold separately. Runs on 24V (80 lb of thrust) or 36V (100 lb of thrust). Foot pedal sold separately.
