To install the quick-release plate on your boat’s deck:

Select a mounting location on the bow of your boat, taking into account the mounting recommendations (centered, overhanging the gunwale). Place the included mounting template on the chosen location. Mark the mounting hole locations on the deck. Using a drill and a 11/32 in (9 mm) bit, drill the mounting holes. Place the quick-release plate on the deck, aligning the holes. Secure the mounting plate to the deck using the included bolts, washers, and nuts, with a #4 Phillips screwdriver and a 1/2 in socket. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 14.9 N·m (11 lbf-ft).

When choosing the mounting location, consider the following points:

The motor must be installed on the bow of your boat.The bracket must be mounted so that the deployed motor is as close as possible to the center of the boat.The bracket must be installed with the U-shaped part overhanging the gunwale of the boat.Check that the deck is strong enough to support the weight and force of the motor.The motor must have sufficient clearance to move from the deployed position to the stowed position and vice versa.The quick-release plate can only be installed in the bracket in one way; ensure the motor will face the desired direction.Make sure the bracket handle will be accessible and removable after the bracket is secured.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to use the mounting template provided in the product box. If you must print a template, ensure you follow the instructions for 100% scaling to avoid incorrect cuts on your boat’s mounting surface.

Once the quick-release plate is installed on the deck:

With the engine in the stowed position, lift the engine by the shaft and the propeller drive unit. Lower the quick-release bracket onto the tab of the quick-release plate, and lower the engine into place. Install the handle in the quick-release bracket. Install a padlock suitable for outdoor use with a shackle of 1/4 in (6.35 mm) or less (not included) or the included R-clip to lock the handle in place.

When mounting the LiveScope mount to the engine, the hex-head screw and washer must be tightened to a torque of 7 N·m (62 lbf·in).

To remove the engine from the quick-release plate:

Disconnect the engine from the power supply. With the engine in the stowed position, remove the included R-clip or the lock (not included) from the handle. Pull the shaft and remove the handle. Lift the engine off the quick-release plate. Reinstall the handle and the R-clip or the lock in the bracket to prevent loss.

The Garmin Force Kraken engine transducer mount is compatible with LiveScope LVS32, LVS34, and LVS62 transducers. Specific adapter discs and mounting buttons are supplied for each of these transducer models.

The Garmin Force Kraken motor can operate on either 24V or 36V power. It is recommended to use deep-cycle marine batteries matched to these voltages to ensure optimal performance and sufficient range.

The installation instructions for the quick-release mount describe its assembly on the engine and the deck. The product name mentions only the engine with remote control. Therefore, the quick-release mount is an accessory sold separately or as part of a distinct kit.
