Yes, the Garmin Force® Kraken 110" electric motor is supplied with a wireless remote control to facilitate its operation.

The Garmin Force® Kraken 110" electric motor is specifically designed for large vessels and demanding marine conditions, making it ideal for offshore fishermen.

The Force® Kraken motor is designed to provide advanced positioning capabilities, often associated with integrated GPS features for functions such as virtual anchoring. These technologies enable precise maintenance of the boat's position.

It is strongly recommended to use the mounting template provided in the product box. If you need to print one, ensure you follow the instructions precisely, including verifying that the scaling is set to 100% and that the paper is large enough. Garmin is not liable for damage resulting from incorrect cutting due to failure to follow these instructions.

To install the quick-release mount on your boat’s deck, you will need the following tools:

A drill with a 9 mm (11/32 in) drill bitA Phillips #3 and #4 screwdriverA 11 mm (7/16 in) and 13 mm (1/2 in) socket wrenchA torque wrenchStainless steel countersunk bolts 5/16-18 (M8 x 1.25) if the supplied bolts are not long enoughA suitable outdoor padlock with a shackle of 6.35 mm (1/4 in) or less (recommended)

You must install the motor at the bow of your boat. The bracket must be installed so that the deployed motor is as close as possible to the center of the boat, and the U-shape of the bracket must extend beyond the gunwale.

The mounting templates provided for the Force® Kraken engine specify mounting holes with a diameter of Ø 9 mm (11/32 in) or Ø 7 mm (9/32 in), with a spacing of 104.63 mm (4 1/8 in) between certain holes and a distance of 133.32 mm (5 1/4 in) between hole rows, depending on the specific model and bolts used.

Installing the quick-release kit involves several steps:

Select a mounting location on the bow of the boat.Mark and drill the mounting holes on the deck.Attach the quick-release plate to the deck using the supplied bolts, washers, and nuts, tightening the nuts to a torque of 14.9 N·m (11 lbf·ft).Attach the quick-release bracket to the engine using the supplied bolts, washers, and locking nuts, tightening all nuts to 10.85 N·m (8 lbf·ft).Install the engine onto the quick-release plate and secure it with the handle and R-clip or a padlock.

Once the engine is installed on the quick-release plate, you must insert the handle into the quick-release bracket. To lock it in place, use the supplied R-clip or an appropriate padlock for outdoor use with a shackle of 6.35 mm (1/4 in) or smaller. It is recommended to orient the open end of the R-clip toward the edge of the boat to prevent it from accidentally disengaging.

When choosing the mounting location, consider the following points:

The motor must be installed at the bow of your boat.The bracket must be installed so that the deployed motor is as close as possible to the center of the boat.The bracket must be installed with the "U" shape extending beyond the boat's gunwale.Check that the deck is strong enough to support the motor's weight and force.Make sure you have space to secure the bracket from underneath with washers and nuts.The motor must have sufficient clearance to move from the deployed position to the stowed position.The quick-release plate can only be installed in one direction; ensure the desired orientation.The bracket handle must be accessible and removable after the bracket is secured.

To remove the engine from the quick-release mount, follow these steps:

Disconnect the engine from its power source. Ensure the engine is in the stowed position. Remove the supplied R-clip or padlock (not included) from the handle. Pull the handle upward and remove it. Lift the engine off the quick-release plate. Reinstall the handle and R-clip or padlock in the mount to prevent loss.

Yes, the Force® Kraken engine is designed to be compatible with LiveScope™ transducers. A LiveScope™ mounting kit is available for installing these transducers.

The LiveScope™ mount for the Force® Kraken motor is compatible with Garmin LiveScope™ transducers LVS32, LVS34, and LVS62. Adapter disks and specific mounting buttons are included in the kit for each transducer model.

Yes, you can mount your LiveScope™ transducer on either the port or starboard side of your engine’s skeg. However, once the transducer is mounted, the engine will only be able to stow in one direction. You must choose the side toward which you want the propeller to face when stowed, as this cannot be changed after installation.

After using the engine in saltwater or brackish water, you must flush the entire engine with fresh water. Then apply a water-based silicone spray using a soft cloth. Avoid directing strong water jets toward the cap at the top of the shaft during flushing.

For routine maintenance of the Force® Kraken engine, you may need the following tools and supplies:

A Phillips #2 screwdriverHex keys: 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mmA 9/16 in (or 15 mm) socket to remove the propellerReplacement anodes (part number 010-12832-35)A wire brushMulti-purpose synthetic or marine greaseDry anti-seize lubricant (e.g., DuPont™ Dry Film Lubricant with Teflon®)Dielectric greaseIsopropyl alcohol (for cleaning before touch-up painting)Polyurethane liquid paint (for touch-up of chips and scratches)
