Festarr fyrir Garmin LiveScope™ Force® Kraken

This bracket is designed to integrate LiveScope transducers compatible with the Garmin Force Kraken electric motor. It ensures a clean and protected installation of the LiveScope transducer cable by routing it through the motor shaft, minimizing the risk of damage during stowage or deployment of the motor.

The mount is specifically compatible with Garmin LiveScope transducers LVS32, LVS34, and LVS62.

No, this mount is exclusively designed for use with the Garmin Force Kraken electric motor.

Once installed with this mount, the LiveScope transducer can operate in all three display modes: forward, rearward, and perspective, without any performance compromise.

The kit includes all mounting hardware: screws, washers, O-rings, seals, 2.5 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm Allen keys, a ring spanner, and marine grease.

Yes, it is mandatory to use exclusively the hardware included in this kit. This prevents potential damage to the engine and the transducer, and ensures correct and safe operation of the system.

Before performing any maintenance or installation work, you must always disconnect the electric motor from the battery. It is also recommended to read all installation instructions before starting.

In addition to the included Allen keys, eyelet wrench, and marine grease, you will need a Phillips screwdriver size #2, diagonal cutting pliers, electrical tape, cable ties, and a torque wrench.

You can mount your LiveScope transducer on either the starboard or port side of your Force Kraken electric engine shaft.

No, once the LiveScope transducer is mounted, the motor can only be stored in one direction. You must choose the side toward which you want the propeller to face when stored before installation, as this cannot be changed afterward.

The mount routes the LiveScope transducer cable through the Force Kraken motor shaft, protecting it from damage risks during stowage or deployment of the motor.

Yes, the kit includes mounting buttons specific to each transducer model: a small button for the LVS32, a medium button for the LVS34, and a large button for the LVS62, ensuring secure and proper mounting of your transducer to the support.

Yes, you must firmly tighten all adjustment knobs on the LiveScope transducer mount before each use to ensure probe stability and optimal performance.

Yes, before opening the shaft housing, you must disconnect the engine from its power source. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the engine.

When removing or installing the engine, it is crucial to pull on the cables themselves and not on the connectors. You should also avoid supporting the engine solely by the cables to prevent damage to the connections.

Yes, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of marine grease, supplied in the kit, to the new blue and black seals of the engine before installing them. This ensures proper sealing and extends the seals' lifespan.

It is recommended to leave approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) of LiveScope cable between the shaft adapter and the transducer. This allows for easy repositioning and switching display modes after installation.

Yes, you must apply a medium-strength thread locker compound, such as LOCTITE 243™, to the threads of the six engine mounting holes. This is essential to maintain a secure connection between the shaft base and the engine and prevent water ingress.

Align the protruding tooth on the mounting puck with the recess on the shaft adapter. Then secure it using the included hex-head screw and washer, tightening the screw to 7 N·m (62 lbf·in) with a torque wrench.

No, the LiveScope™ Force® Kraken mounting bracket is a mounting accessory. It is designed to allow mounting a LiveScope transducer (sold separately) on the Force Kraken electric motor. The transducer itself is not included in this kit.
