The headline feature either way is Anchor Lock, which combines multi-band GPS with an integrated AHRS (attitude and heading reference system) for Garmin's most precise automatic position-holding in wind and current — a genuine advantage over motors that rely on GPS alone. The included wireless floating remote adds virtual anchor lock, heading hold and point-and-go gesture steering from anywhere on the boat, and a compatible Garmin smartwatch such as the quatix 8 can also control the motor from the wrist. The composite shaft carries reinforced corrosion and saltwater protection for repeated offshore use, and pairing with a compatible Garmin chartplotter unlocks route guidance and advanced trolling-motor control. Expect the box to contain the Kraken motor and shaft, wireless floating remote, high-efficiency propeller, mounting hardware, circuit breaker and battery plug — a GT56UHD-TR transducer is a separate purchase for onboard sonar on this configuration.
