Suport de montare pe articulație 0 grade pentru LiveScope

The 0-degree ball-mount bracket for Garmin LiveScope (part number 010-12676-15) is a technical solution designed to optimize the accuracy of your sonar system. Its main advantage is eliminating the 8-degree tilt often present with standard clamp mounts, ensuring perfect alignment of the transducer for more precise sonar returns.

By correcting the 8-degree tilt of the factory mounts, this 0-degree model ensures perfect geometric alignment of the transducer. This results in a sharper sonar image, clearer bottom contours, and more defined fish arches, thereby improving synchronization between sonar data and GPS.

For installation, you will need a Phillips screwdriver size #2, 2.5 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm Allen keys (included), diagonal cutters, electrical tape, cable ties, a crimping tool (included), marine grease (included), and a torque wrench.

Yes, once installed, the mount allows you to adjust the transducer's viewing angle according to your preferred display modes (forward, down, perspective). It is important to firmly tighten the adjustment knobs before each use to maintain the chosen position.

It is mandatory to use only the hardware included in this kit to avoid damaging the trolling motor and the transducer, and to ensure proper operation. The included bolts may differ from those supplied with your LiveScope transducer, and using incorrect bolts could result in product damage and failure.

This mount is compatible with a range of Garmin LiveScope transducers, including the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34, Panoptix LiveScope™ LVS32, and LiveScope™ XR LVS62 models.

No, this mount is specifically designed for integration with the Garmin Force Kraken electric motor. It is optimized to work with this trolling motor model.

You can mount your LiveScope transducer on the starboard or port side of your trolling motor shaft. Once the transducer is installed, the motor can only be stowed in one direction, so it is important to choose the side toward which you want the propeller to face once stowed, as this cannot be changed after installation.

Yes, it is imperative to always disconnect the engine from the battery before performing any intervention, including opening the shaft housing. Failure to follow this instruction may result in an electric shock or damage to the engine.

When installing the propeller drive motor, you must gently pull on the ends of the power cables as you feed them through the shaft. It is crucial to pull on the cable itself and not on the connectors to avoid any damage.

Yes, it is recommended to apply marine grease (included in the kit) to the new blue and black seals of the engine before installing them. This ensures better sealing and makes installation easier.

Yes, you must apply a medium-strength thread locking compound (not included), such as LOCTITE 243™, to the threads of the six threaded holes on the top of the propeller drive motor. This is essential to maintain a watertight connection between the shaft base and the propeller drive motor and prevent water ingress.

After aligning the propeller shaft and the propeller drive motor and hand-tightening the six bolts, you must use a torque wrench to tighten them to 4 N·m (35 lbf·in).

After unlocking the locking ring on the LiveScope transducer cable connector, feed the cable a few feet up the shaft through the lateral hole of the downrigger adapter. It is recommended to leave approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) of LiveScope cable between the downrigger adapter and the transducer to allow for repositioning and mode changes after installation.

No, you must bundle the power cables and any existing transducer cables in a triangular pattern, with the transducer cable leading by about 7.5 cm (3 in), and bundle them every 15 cm (6 in). However, you must not include the LiveScope cable in this bundle.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to have a second person or an adjustable support to hold the engine when removing and reinstalling the propeller drive motor. This will greatly facilitate the installation.
