Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other
important information.
Always disconnect the trolling motor from the battery before performing any service.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. Sonar is a tool that enhances your
awareness of the water beneath your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of observing the water
around your boat as you navigate.

Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions could result in injury,
damage to the product and/or vessel, or poor product performance.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the
installation, go to support.garmin.com for more information.

Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
To avoid possible damage to the trolling motor and transducer, and to ensure proper functionality, you must use
only the hardware included in this kit. The included bolts may not be the same as bolts that came with your
LiveScope transducer, and using the incorrect bolts may result in product damage and failure.
• You should mount the LiveScope transducer where it will not interfere while stowing the trolling motor.
• You may mount your LiveScope transducer on either the starboard side or the port side of your trolling motor
shaft.
• Once the LiveScope transducer is mounted, the motor can only stow in one direction. Choose which side you
want the propeller to face when stowed, because it cannot be changed after installation.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the trolling motor stow side. See the Force Kraken Trolling Motor Owner's
Manual for instructions.
• After installation, you can set the LiveScope transducer to the preferred viewing mode.
• Firmly tighten all LiveScope transducer bracket adjustment knobs before each use.
Refer to the LiveScope transducer instructions for more information about connecting, mounting and securing
the LiveScope transducer cable after installation.
Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor
Opening the Shaft Cap
WARNING
Before you open the shaft cap, you must disconnect the motor from the power source. Failure to disconnect the
power source can lead to electrical shock or damage to the motor.
1Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws that secure the lid of the shaft cap.
You should place these screws in a safe place, because you must use them to close the shaft cap.
2Carefully lift up the lid of the shaft cap to access the cable connectors inside.
NOTICE
There are two cables connected to the top of the shaft cap. Take care when opening the shaft cap to avoid
damaging the cables or connectors.
2
Disconnecting the Cables in the Shaft Cap
Before you can disconnect the cables in the shaft cap, you must open the shaft cap (Opening the Shaft Cap,
page2).
1Unscrew and disconnect the USB connector .
Ensure the o-ring remains in place inside the connector.
2Release the latch and pull the connectors apart to disconnect the data cable.
3If present, unscrew and disconnect the transducer cable , and cut off the locking ring.
4Cut the zip ties .
5Slide down the protective coverings on the power cables.
6Using a 2.5 mm allen wrench, remove the four set screws on the two power cables.
7Disconnect the power cables.
8Remove the protective coverings from the power cables.
3
Removing the Propeller Drive Motor
1Using a 5mm hex bit or wrench, remove the six screws that secure the shaft base to the propeller drive
motor.
You should dispose of these six screws. New screws, washers, and O-rings are provided in the kit.
2If your trolling motor has a transducer installed, using the tool included in the kit, remove the recessed nut
that secures the transducer cable to the shaft.
4
3Straighten the cables at the top of the shaft, and slowly pull the propeller drive motor away from the shaft
base until you can see the power and data cables connected to the propeller drive motor.
4Holding the cables only, slowly pull them through the shaft, taking care that the connectors do not get caught
on the top of the shaft.
NOTICE
When removing the propeller drive motor from the shaft, you must pull the cables themselves, and not the
motor. Pulling on the propeller drive motor may damage the cable connections inside the motor. The motor
should not be supported by the cables alone. Supporting the motor only with the cables may damage the motor.
The power cables and transducer cable (if present) should pull through the shaft completely.
Removing the Cable Grommets
1Using the tool included in the kit, remove the recessed grommet nuts from both sides.
2Push out the grommets from the inside of the downshaft adapter.
5
Replacing the Motor Gaskets
Before you can replace the motor gaskets, you must remove the propellor drive motor and pull all cables
completely through the shaft.
1Remove and discard the blue motor gasket and black motor gasket .
2Using the grease packet included in the kit, apply grease to the new blue and black motor gaskets included in
the kit and install them in place of the gaskets you removed.
Feeding the Cables Through the Shaft
1Using diagonal pliers, carefully cut off the locking ring from the connector at the end of the LiveScope
transducer cable.
2Place the grommet nut over the LiveScope cable with the threaded side facing the downshaft adapter.
3Feed the LiveScope cable a few feet into the shaft through the side hole of the downshaft adapter.
4Bundle the power and any existing transducer cables , and feed them completely through the shaft with
the LiveScope cable.
NOTE: You should leave approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in.) of LiveScope cable between the downshaft
adapter and transducer to allow for repositioning and changing modes after installation.
6
Installing the LiveScope Cable Grommet
1Apply a thin film of the included marine grease to the LiveScope cable grommet and along the section of
the LiveScope cable that feeds through the grommet.
2Place the grommet over the LiveScope cable and slide it into the downshaft adapter .
3Using the included grommet nut wrench, tighten the grommet nut .
Installing the Propeller Drive Motor
Before you can install the propeller drive motor in the shaft, you must route the LiveScope transducer cable
through the shaft (Feeding the Cables Through the Shaft, page6).
1Using canned compressed air or an air compressor, blow out any dirt or debris in the six threaded holes on
the top of the propeller drive motor.
2Gently pull the ends of the power cables as you feed them the rest of the way through the shaft.
NOTICE
When feeding the cables, you must pull on the cable and not on the cable connectors.
3Prepare the six bolts in the kit by placing a washer and a 4.75mm (3/16in.) O-ring on each one.
NOTE: There are three different bolt lengths. Make sure the bolts are in the positions shown in the illustration
before tightening.
4Using the grease packet included in the kit, apply grease to the 4.75mm (3/16in.) O-ring on each bolt.
Avoid getting grease on the bolt threads.
7
5Apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound (not included) such as LOCTITE® 243™ to the threads in
the six threaded holes on the top of the propeller drive motor.
NOTICE
You must apply thread-locking compound in these holes to maintain a tight connection between the shaft base
and the propeller drive motor. Failure to use thread-locking compound can lead to water ingress and damage to
the motor.
6Using a 5mm hex bit or wrench, thread all six of the prepared bolts approximately halfway to make sure that
the shaft base and the propeller drive motor are properly aligned and the gasket is in place.
7With the shaft base and the propeller drive motor properly aligned, lightly tighten all six bolts by hand.
8Using a torque wrench, tighten all six bolts to 4N-m (35lbf-in).
Installing the Grommets
1Using the grease packet included in the kit, apply a thin film grease to the grommets and the section of the
transducer cable that feeds through the cable grommet .
2Place the cable grommet over the transducer cable and slide it into the downshaft adapter .
3Slide the solid grommet into the downshaft adapter.
4Using the included grommet nut wrench , tighten the grommet nuts .
