Description
Garmin Force® Kraken Black Trolling Motor with GT56UHD-TR Transducer
Enjoy powerful propulsion, precise boat positioning and integrated sonar with the Garmin Force Kraken Black Trolling Motor. Available in 48", 63" and 75" shaft lengths, each model includes a built-in GT56UHD-TR transducer and a wireless floating remote control.
Designed for freshwater, brackish water and saltwater fishing, Force Kraken combines an efficient brushless motor with a pivot-style mount that suits boats with limited space at the bow.
Powerful, Quiet Brushless Motor
Force Kraken delivers 80 lb of thrust on a 24 V system or 100 lb on a 36 V system, measured in accordance with ISO 13342 using the high-efficiency propeller.
Its brushless motor provides quiet operation above and below the water, helping you approach fishing spots with minimal disturbance while delivering the power needed to manoeuvre in wind and current.
Built-In GT56UHD-TR Sonar
All three black models include a GT56UHD-TR transducer, providing:
- Traditional high-wide CHIRP sonar for fish targets and bottom detail.
- Ultra High-Definition ClearVü™ scanning sonar for detailed images below the boat.
- Ultra High-Definition SideVü™ scanning sonar for viewing structure and fish to either side.
- Depth and water temperature readings.
The transducer connects to a compatible Garmin chartplotter using a 12-pin connector. A compatible chartplotter is required and sold separately.
Precise Anchor Lock
Stay over your chosen fishing spot with Garmin’s anchor lock technology. Multi-band GPS and an integrated heading reference system help maintain the boat’s position, allowing you to concentrate on fishing.
Heading hold and cruise control provide additional control when moving through your fishing area.
Wireless Remote Control
Control the motor from anywhere on board using the included floating remote. Point-and-go gesture steering makes it easy to select your direction, while the sunlight-readable colour display provides convenient access to motor controls.
Garmin Chartplotter and Smartwatch Integration
Wirelessly connect Force Kraken to a compatible Garmin chartplotter to create and follow routes while fishing.
Compatible Garmin smartwatches also allow convenient wrist control of functions such as steering and anchor lock. Chartplotters and smartwatches are sold separately.
Pivot-Style Bow Mount
The pivot-style mount makes Force Kraken suitable for boats where bow mounting space is limited, including deep-V fishing boats and centre consoles.
Choose from three shaft lengths to suit your boat’s bow height and deck configuration. Shaft length should be selected according to the mounting position and the depth required to keep the propeller submerged during use.
LiveScope™ Integration
Force Kraken supports LiveScope cable routing through the shaft, helping protect the cable and keep the installation tidy.
The included GT56UHD-TR is not a LiveScope transducer. A compatible LiveScope system and the appropriate Kraken mounting accessories must be purchased separately.
