No, it is not recommended to print your own mounting template. You must use the template provided in the product box to ensure correct installation and avoid incorrect cuts on your boat’s mounting surface.

The mounting template for recent Force Kraken engine models specifies 9 mm (11/32 in.) diameter mounting holes. The spacings are 104.63 mm (4 1/8 in.) and 133.32 mm (5 1/4 in.).

If you need to print a template, make sure the scale is set to 100% before printing. After printing, use a ruler to measure at least one dimension line to verify that the template was printed at the correct 100% scale.

The motor must be installed at the bow (front) of your boat. It is recommended to install it so that the deployed motor is as close as possible to the center of the boat.

For installing the quick-release kit, you will need the following tools:

After using the engine in salt 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 high-pressure water jets toward the cap at the top of the shaft during flushing.

The LiveScope transducer must be mounted in a location where it won’t interfere with engine stowage. You can mount it either on the starboard or port side of the engine shaft. Once installed, the engine will only stow in one direction—choose the side where the propeller should face during stowage before installation.
