Suport de montare LiveScope™ Force® Kraken

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

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 mounted with this bracket, the system allows the LiveScope transducer to operate in all three viewing modes: forward, rearward, and perspective, without compromising performance.

The kit includes all the necessary installation hardware, including screws, washers, O-rings, sealing gaskets, as well as 2.5 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm Allen keys, an eyelet wrench, and marine grease.

Yes, it is imperative 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 operations, 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 Allen keys, the eyelet wrench, and the marine grease included in the kit, 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 the starboard or port side of the shaft of your Force Kraken electric motor.

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

The mount is designed to route the LiveScope transducer cable through the Force Kraken motor shaft, protecting it from potential damage 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 proper and secure mounting of your transducer to the support.

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

Yes, before opening the shaft’s cap, you must disconnect the engine from its power source. Failure to do so may result in an 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 must 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, provided in the kit, on the new blue and black seals of the engine before installing them. This ensures proper sealing and extends the lifespan of the seals.

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 easy repositioning and changing display modes after installation.

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

Align the prominent lug 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.
