Stabilizálókészlet fedélzeti szereléshez

This stabilization kit is specifically designed for Garmin Force Kraken electric motors. It ensures secure holding and optimal protection for these models.

Yes, the Garmin stabilization kit is designed for Force Kraken engines, whether intended for freshwater or saltwater use. It is made with marine-grade materials to withstand demanding environments.

No, this stabilization kit is a mechanical accessory specifically designed for Garmin Force Kraken electric motors. It is not compatible with other brands or motor models.

The primary role of this kit is to ensure secure holding of your Force Kraken engine in the raised (stowed) position. It provides a fixed support point on the bow to minimize engine movement and vibrations.

The main advantages are:

Significant reduction of engine vibrations and movements when stowed.Protection of engine components against premature wear and potential damage from shocks, especially during rough water navigation or trailer transport.An additional support for the engine.

The Garmin stabilization kit is made with marine-grade materials. This ensures its durability and resistance in demanding marine environments, whether in fresh or salt water.

No, the stabilization kit for deck mounting is entirely mechanical. It requires no electrical connection for installation or operation.

By stabilizing the engine in the stowed position, the kit reduces significant mechanical stress on the shaft and control head. This reduction in vibrations and movements protects engine components from premature wear and potential damage, especially during rough navigation or transport.

The stabilization kit is designed to be mounted directly on the boat's deck. It provides a fixed support point on the bow for the Force Kraken motor.

This is an optional accessory. It is designed to help stabilize and provide additional support to the trolling motor when it is in the stowed position.

For installing the kit, you will need the following tools:

A #2 Phillips screwdriverA hacksaw or similar cutting tool (to adjust the stabilizer length)A 6 mm (7/32 in) hex key or bitA 5 mm (3/16 in) hex key or bitA 4 mm (5/32 in) hex key or bitAn electric drillA 6.25 mm (1/4 in) drill bitA 3 mm (1/8 in) drill bit

Yes, you may need to cut the stabilizer rod to fit your installation. Some users won’t need to cut it, but it’s important to test the position and length before finalizing the installation.

To determine the correct length:

Position the engine in the stowed position.Place the swivel mounting base of the stabilizer next to the mounting location.Observe where the rod contacts the motor’s downshaft.Measure 12.7 mm (1/2 in) below this contact point and mark this location on the rod.This is where you will cut the rod if necessary.

You will need to use a 6.25 mm (1/4 in) drill bit to bore the hole in the stabilizer shaft to attach the shaft clamp.

To drill the pilot holes for the swivel mounting base, you will need to use a 3 mm (1/8 in) drill bit.

The swivel mounting base must be installed centered directly beneath the engine shaft. Ensure the location does not interfere with engine movement or boat operation.

Yes, it is imperative to take the following precautions:

Always disconnect the trolling motor from the battery before performing any operation. Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding. When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the other side of the surface to avoid damaging the boat.

After installing the swivel mounting base, you can adjust the tension of the swivel and the oscillation. Use the 6 mm oscillation tension screw and the 4 mm pivot tension screw from the swivel mounting base to set your preferred tension settings.

It is important not to damage the wiring. To avoid any possible damage to the cables, ensure that you do not pinch the power cable or the transducer cable in the clamp with the engine shaft when securing the stabilizer.

Yes, it is crucial to test the installation location to check for clearance of objects and adequate support for the trolling motor shaft before cutting the stabilizer rod or drilling. This ensures a correct and functional fit.
