This Garmin Kraken Feature Will Blow Your Mind (Autopilot Test)
What if your trolling motor could drive itself while you fish? 🎣 In this video, I’m putting the Garmin Kraken’s Autopilot feature to the test to see if it really delivers on hands-free fishing! From windy bays to strong tidal currents, I’ll show you exactly how this advanced feature keeps your boat on course so you can focus on what really matters — catching fish.
With a simple press of a button, the Kraken Autopilot locks in your heading and automatically adjusts for wind, current, and drift. Pair it with Anchor Lock and you’ve got full control of your boat’s movement — without ever touching the steering.
👉 Here’s what we’ll cover:
🔹 How Garmin’s Autopilot actually works on the water
🔹 Real-world testing in wind and current
🔹 Pairing Autopilot with Anchor Lock & waypoints
🔹 Pros, cons, and my honest first impressions
This feature is a total game-changer for anyone who fishes solo, trolls along shorelines, or just wants to stay hands-free while casting. Once you try it, you’ll never want to go back!
