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.

Using 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.

Carefully 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.
