Large protection cone, Compatible with GT56 transducer, black

The Garmin large protection cone (part number 010-12832-21) is an accessory designed specifically for electric motors. It is intended for the integration and protection of Garmin GT transducers, replacing the standard mounting part of your engine.

The primary role of this protection cone is to protect the transducer installed on the electric motor. It shields it from impacts and debris encountered in a marine environment, ensuring the integrity of the transducer and the reliability of detection data.

The main advantages of this cone include:

Targeted protection of the transducer against impacts and debris. Improved hydrodynamics thanks to its smooth profile, reducing drag in the water. Durable construction designed to withstand marine environment stresses. Discreet black finish that gives the engine an original appearance.

Yes, this cone’s design incorporates a smooth hydrodynamic profile that is critical for reducing drag in the water. It can potentially have a positive impact on your electric motor’s energy consumption and handling.

This large Garmin protection cone is black. Its finish is designed to be discreet and blend seamlessly with the original aesthetics of the electric motor.

Yes, this large protection cone is an accessory from Garmin, identified by SKU 010-12832-21.

Yes, its construction is durable and specifically designed to withstand the stresses and demanding conditions of the marine environment, ensuring long service life and reliable protection.

No, the Garmin large protection cone (010-12832-21) is a separately sold accessory. It is designed to be compatible with existing or separately purchased Garmin GT transducers, such as the GT56.

This protective cone is compatible with a range of Garmin transducers, specifically including the following models:

GT56 GT22 GT24 GT52 GT54

No, this cone is compatible with a specific selection of Garmin GT fishfinders, including the GT56, GT22, GT24, GT52, and GT54. It is recommended to check the compatibility list to ensure it suits your GT fishfinder model.

This cone is an essential accessory for electric motors, specifically designed for integrating Garmin GT transducers. The detailed installation documentation provided by Garmin concerns the Force Kraken electric motor in particular.

No, this large protective cone is designed specifically for integrating and protecting Garmin GT series transducers. It is not compatible with transducers from other brands.

Yes, this protective cone is compatible with the Garmin GT56 transducer. The GT56 designation generally includes the UHD (Ultra High-Definition) version, which is the standard model.

Yes, the technical documentation provided by Garmin for replacing the transducer, which involves installing this cone, is specifically addressed to the Force Kraken electric motor. Therefore, it is designed to be compatible with this type of motor.

Installing this protection cone, which is part of the process of replacing a transducer on an electric motor, requires specific tools and a certain level of skill. Garmin recommends installation by a qualified marine technician to ensure optimal performance and avoid any damage.

To install this cone when replacing a transducer, you will need several tools, including:

A Phillips screwdriver size #2Hex wrenches or sockets of 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mmMedium-strength thread locker compound (e.g., LOCTITE 243™)Compressed air or an air compressorDiagonal cutting pliersCable tiesA ring spanner (usually included in the transducer replacement kit)Marine grease (usually included in the transducer replacement kit)

Yes, it is mandatory to always disconnect the electric motor from the battery before performing any service or installation work. Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock or damage to the motor.

The protection cone itself is generally not supplied with screws and mounting hardware. However, the probe replacement instructions, which involve this cone, state that new screws, washers, and O-rings are provided in the probe replacement kit. It is recommended to check the contents of your probe replacement kit or obtain the necessary hardware.

Yes, it is critical to apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound, such as LOCTITE 243™, to the threads of the six threaded holes located on top of the propulsion motor. This ensures a secure connection between the shaft base and the motor, and prevents water ingress that could damage the motor.

After aligning and loosely screwing the six bolts by hand, it is recommended to use a torque wrench to tighten them to 4 N·m (35 lbf·in).
