Rafmagnsrafhentur Force® Kraken 75" með fjarstýringu og innbyggðum GT56UHD-TR dýptarmæli

The Garmin Force Kraken electric motor is equipped with a 75-inch shaft, which is approximately 190 centimeters. This length is specifically designed for high-freeboard boats and offshore navigation, ensuring optimal propeller immersion.

The maximum thrust power of the Force Kraken 75" motor varies depending on the battery configuration:

In 36 V configuration, it delivers 45 kg (100 lbs) of thrust.In 24 V configuration, it delivers 36 kg (80 lbs) of thrust.These values comply with ISO 13342 standards.

The Force Kraken 75" features an integrated brushless motor that delivers several key advantages:

Extended runtime: It is more energy-efficient, increasing overall autonomy.Stronger torque and consistent power: It maintains high performance even in demanding conditions.Minimized electromagnetic interference: This ensures clear fishfinder returns for better detection of fish and underwater structures.

Yes, the GT56UHD-TR transducer is directly integrated into the Garmin Force Kraken 75 motor. It provides Ultra High Definition (UHD) sonar views of what is below and alongside the boat, with no additional purchase or installation required.

The Force Kraken engine's Virtual Anchor (Anchor Lock) technology automatically keeps your boat in a precise position. This function uses GPS to compensate for current or wind effects, freeing the angler from manually maintaining the boat's position.

The Force Kraken 75" engine is specifically designed for high-freeboard boats and offshore navigation. Its 75-inch (190 cm) shaft length is suited for these types of vessels to ensure sufficient propeller immersion and optimal performance.

Yes, the Garmin Force Kraken 75" electric motor is supplied with a remote control. It allows convenient and easy control of the motor functions, including steering, speed, and virtual anchoring activation.

Yes, the Force Kraken trolling motor can be used in salt or brackish water. However, it is essential to rinse the entire motor with fresh water after each use in these environments and apply a water-based silicone spray with a soft cloth. Avoid directing high-pressure water jets toward the cap at the top of the shaft during rinsing.

When installing the motor, it is crucial to follow several precautions:

Always disconnect the motor from the battery before any intervention to avoid electric shocks.Ensure the mounting surface on the boat’s deck is strong enough to support the motor’s weight and force. Use a reinforcement plate or reinforce the boat if necessary.Check there is enough 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 without obstructions.Only use hand tools for assembly and follow the specified torque values. Using power tools may damage components and void the warranty.

Do not print the mounting template yourself. Use the template provided in the product box. If you must print it, follow Garmin’s instructions precisely, ensuring the print scale is set to 100% and the paper size is adequate. Garmin is not liable for damage caused by incorrect cutting due to failure to follow these instructions.

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

Drill and 9 mm (11/32 in) bitPhillips screwdriver #3 and #411 mm (7/16 in) and 13 mm (1/2 in) socket wrenchTorque wrenchStainless steel countersunk bolts 5/16-18 (M8 x 1.25) if the supplied bolts are too short for the mounting surface.A padlock suitable for outdoor use with a shackle of 6.35 mm (1/4 in) or less is recommended to secure the handle.

To mount the quick-release plate on the boat deck:

Select a mounting location on the bow, ensuring the deployed engine will be as close as possible to the center of the boat and the U-shaped bracket extends beyond the gunwale.Place the provided mounting template and mark the hole locations on the deck.Drill the mounting holes using a 9 mm (11/32 in) drill bit.Position the quick-release plate on the deck, aligning the holes.Fasten the plate with the provided bolts, washers, and nuts, tightening the nuts to a torque of 14.9 N·m (11 lbf·ft).

To install the quick-release mount on the engine:

Position the engine on its side.Loosely attach the mount to the engine using the bolts, washers, and locking nuts provided in the two holes closest to the propeller shaft.Deploy the engine by pressing the unlocking lever and rotating the engine head.Attach the mount to the engine using the remaining bolts, washers, and locking nuts.Tighten all six nuts to 10.85 N·m (8 lbf·ft).Return the engine to its stowed position.

Yes, it is possible to add a LiveScope transducer (sold separately) to the Force Kraken 75" engine using a dedicated LiveScope mounting bracket. This bracket allows the transducer to be mounted on the engine shaft, providing additional real-time sonar capabilities.

Installing a LiveScope transducer on the Force Kraken involves several delicate steps and requires disconnecting the engine from the battery. The key steps include:

Opening the shaft cap and disconnecting internal cables.Removing the skeg and nose cone.Removing the propeller motor and old seals.Thread the LiveScope transducer cables through the shaft.Installing new seals and the propeller motor.Installing cable glands and reinstalling the nose cone and skeg.Attaching the LiveScope mounting bracket and assembling the transducer.It is crucial to use only the hardware provided in the LiveScope kit to avoid damaging the engine or the transducer.

Yes, when installing the propeller shaft on the hub, it is imperative to apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound, such as LOCTITE® 243™, to the threads of the six threaded holes. This ensures a secure connection and prevents water ingress, which could damage the engine.

The LiveScope mount for the Force Kraken motor is compatible with Garmin LiveScope transducers LVS32, LVS34, and LVS62 (sold separately). Specific adapter discs and mounting buttons of various sizes are included in the mount kit to fit each of these transducer models, ensuring secure and correct installation.

Yes, the Force Kraken 75" motor is compatible with 24V and 36V electrical systems. Thrust power varies depending on supply voltage: it delivers 36 kg (80 lbs) at 24V and 45 kg (100 lbs) at 36V, providing flexibility for different boat configurations.

The Force Kraken motor is designed to integrate with the Garmin ecosystem. While the provided documentation focuses on compatibility with LiveScope transducers, its integration with virtual anchoring technology and minimization of electromagnetic interference for clear fishfinder returns suggest extended compatibility with chartplotters and other Garmin devices for optimized navigation and fishing experience. It is recommended to consult compatibility specifications for specific accessories.

The motor must be installed on the bow of the boat. However, it is important to ensure that the deck is strong enough to support the weight and force of the motor. A reinforcement plate or additional boat reinforcement may be required if the surface is inadequate. The bracket must be installed so that the U-shaped part extends beyond the gunwale for correct mounting.
