Montavimo laikiklis 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, aft, 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 the shaft of your Force Kraken electric engine.

No, once the LiveScope transducer is mounted, the engine can only be stored in one direction. You must choose the side toward which you want the propeller to face during storage 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 that could occur during stowage or deployment of the motor.

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

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 follow this instruction may result in electric shock or engine damage.

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

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

Approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) of LiveScope cable should be left 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-locking 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 tab on the 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.
