Main features of the Kraken
Brushless motor : the Kraken's brushless motor uses a high-performance propeller to produce a thrust of 45 kg (100 lbs) on a 36-volt system or 36 kg (80 lbs) on a 24-volt system. This type of motor offers a longer service life, allowing you to extend your fishing sessions without fear of battery failure.
Wireless integration : the Kraken integrates wirelessly with Garmin chartplotters, allowing anglers to create routes, patterns and trails that the electric motor will follow automatically.
LiveScope cable management system : this system makes it easy to route the probe cable inside the electric motor shaft, simplifying the installation of a real-time sounder. With Kraken's LiveScope mounting bracket (not included), any LiveScope sounder can be used in three modes: forward, down and perspective.
Virtual anchorage : the Kraken offers precise positioning technology to keep the boat in the same place, thanks to multi-band GPS signal reception and the integrated Heading and Altitude Reference System (AHRS).
Reverse thrust function : this new function allows you to back up or slow down smoothly without having to rotate the motor.
Wireless remote control : the wireless remote control allows you to control the electric motor, including precise virtual anchoring, autopilot functionality and gesture-based heading and steering. It also floats.
Compatibility with Garmin connected watches : it's possible to wirelessly connect a compatible Garmin connected watch, such as the quatix 8, to control steering, virtual anchoring and much more, directly from the wrist.
