Sada pro výměnu snímače pro Garmin Force® Kraken, ochranný kužel není součástí

The Garmin transducer replacement kit is designed specifically for Garmin Force® Kraken electric motors. It allows for maintenance and upgrading of the integrated sonar system by replacing an existing transducer or restoring the motor's watertight integrity.

The kit includes all essential components for a complete installation:

A compression wrench for seals.A set of compression seals for transducers (for 8-pin, 12-pin, and no-transducer configurations).A set of replacement O-rings.Stainless steel screws.A bag of marine grease.A neoprene pad.Bolts, washers, and O-rings for the motor.

No, the protective cone is not included in this depth sounder replacement kit. The product name clearly states "Protective cone not included".

This kit restores the sonar's optimal performance, essential for fish detection and navigation. It also maintains the motor's original watertight integrity, which is crucial to prevent corrosion and water ingress, thereby extending the durability of your equipment.

Replacing O-rings and compression seals is recommended to maintain the motor's original watertight integrity. This is critical to prevent corrosion and water ingress that could damage the motor and the sonar system.

This replacement transducer kit is specifically designed and is compatible only with Garmin Force® Kraken electric motors.

No, this kit is not compatible with standard Garmin Force outboards. These require a different kit reference.

This kit is optimized for seamless integration with Garmin 8-pin and 12-pin transducers commonly used on Force Kraken models.

The kit includes different cable glands. You must select the one that matches your transducer:

For a 4-pin transducer, choose the cable gland with the smallest hole. For an 8- or 12-pin transducer, choose the cable gland with the largest hole. If you are not installing a transducer or running the transducer cable outside the shaft, install the supplied cable gland without a hole.

For installation, you will need the following tools:

A #2 Phillips screwdriver.2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm hex bits or Allen keys.Medium-strength thread-locking compound, such as LOCTITE 243™.Compressed air (canned or from a compressor).Diagonal cutting pliers.Cable ties (included in the kit).Eyelet crimp tool (included in the kit).Marine grease (included in the kit).

Yes, to achieve the best possible performance and avoid any risk of injury, damage to the device or your vessel, installation by a qualified marine installer is recommended.

Before performing any maintenance, you must disconnect the engine from the battery. Never operate the engine when the propeller is out of the water, as contact with a rotating propeller can cause serious injury.

Before you can replace the depth sounder, you must perform the following actions to prepare the engine:

Disconnect the engine from the power source.Open the shaft cap.Remove the cables and take off the shaft cap.Remove the drive motor from the propeller shaft.

After preparing the engine, the steps to remove the old depth sounder are:

Remove the skeg and the nose cone from the propeller drive motor. Using a hex socket or a 3 mm Allen key, remove the four screws securing the depth sounder to the nose cone. Remove the depth sounder and the neoprene pad from the nose cone. The screws and neoprene pad must be discarded, as new parts are supplied in the replacement kit.

No, it is strongly recommended to use the new screws, washers, rings and gaskets supplied in the depth sounder replacement kit. These new parts are essential to ensure correct installation and the watertight integrity of the system.

A medium-strength thread locking compound, such as LOCTITE 243™, is recommended. It is critical to apply it to the threads of the six threaded holes on the top of the propeller drive motor to maintain a watertight seal between the shaft base and the motor.

The marine grease supplied in the kit must be applied to the following locations:

On the new blue and black engine seals before installation. On the 25 mm (1 in) O-ring of the recessed nut. On the 4.75 mm (3/16 in) O-rings of the six engine mounting bolts. On the grommets and the transducer cable section passing through the grommet. Do not apply grease to the bolt threads.

To ensure waterproofing, you must prepare the six bolts in the kit by placing a washer and a 4.75 mm (3/16 in) O-ring on each. Apply grease to these O-rings (avoiding the threads). Then apply medium-strength thread locking compound (such as LOCTITE 243™) to the threads of the six tapped holes on the top of the propeller drive motor. Tighten the bolts by hand, then use a torque wrench to tighten them to 4 N·m (35 lbf·in).

After installing the replacement transducer, you must perform the following steps to complete the service on the trolling motor:

Connect the cables inside the shaft housing.Close the shaft housing.Connect the motor to the power source.

Yes, when replacing the transducer, the following parts must be discarded and replaced with the new ones provided in the kit:

The six screws that secure the shaft base to the propeller drive motor (the kit provides new screws, washers, and O-rings). The four screws that secure the old transducer to the nose cone (the kit provides new screws, washers, and rings). The neoprene pad from the old transducer (a new pad is provided in the kit). The existing blue and black engine seals.
