Mounting Considerations
When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.
• You must install the motor on the bow of your boat.
• You should install the mount so the deployed motor is as close to the centerline of the boat as possible.
• You must install the mount with the top of the cutout overhanging the gunwale of the boat. The U shape
should extend over the side of the boat.
• The motor secures to the deck of the boat using bolts, so you must have room to secure the mount from the
underside using washers and nuts.
• The motor must have clearance to move from the deployed to the stowed position and back again, so the
installation location must be clear of obstacles.
• Verify that the deck is strong enough for the weight and force of the trolling motor. Use a backing plate or
reinforce the boat if needed.
3
Connection Considerations
When making the wiring connections, observe the following considerations.
• You must connect the trolling motor to a 24or 36Vdc battery bank capable of supplying 60A continuously.
• You must connect to the power source through a circuit breaker rated for continuous 60A (not included).
• If necessary, you can extend the power cable using the appropriate wire gauge based on the length of the
extension (Power Cable Extension, page7).
• For convenience, you can install a trolling motor plug and receptacle rated for 60A or greater (not included)
in the bulkhead to make it easier to disconnect the motor from the power source.
Installation Procedures
NOTICE
When assembling the motor, you must use hand tools to install all of the parts, observing the torque
specifications when provided. Using power tools to assemble the motor may damage the components, and
voids the warranty.
Installing the Motor on the Deck
NOTE: If the supplied bolts are not long enough for the mounting surface, you must obtain the appropriate
length stainless steel pan head 1/4 in. -20 (M6x1) bolts.
1Select a mounting location on the bow of your boat, according to the mounting considerations.
2Place the included mounting template on the mounting location with the mount on the template overhanging
the gunwale or the edge of the boat deck.
3Mark the mounting hole locations on the boat deck.
4Using a 5/16in. (8mm) drill bit, drill the mounting holes.
5Place the motor on the boat deck, aligning the holes on the mount with the mounting holes.
6Secure the mount to the deck using the included bolts , washers , and locking nuts in the two holes
closest to the gunwale or edge of the boat deck.
7Adjust the depth stop so that the motor can deploy without hitting the ground.
4
8Press the release , slide the propeller drive motor head out , and gently pivot the trolling motor into the
deployed position .
9Secure the mount to the deck using the included bolts , washers , and locking nuts in the remaining
holes.
10 Tighten the nuts to a torque of 10.85N-m (8lbf-ft.).
5
Installing the Nose Cone
NOTE: Most models come fully assembled. This procedure is only required for the 90-inch Force Kraken Trolling
Motor.
Using a 4mm hex bit or wrench, secure the nose cone to the front of the propeller drive motor using the two
included screws, ensuring the tab is on the bottom.
Installing the Skeg
NOTE: Most models come fully assembled. This procedure is only required for the 90-inch Force Kraken Trolling
Motor.
Using a 4mm hex bit or wrench, secure the skeg to the propeller drive motor using the four included screws,
ensuring the longer end of the skeg faces the propeller side.
6
Installing the Propeller
1Insert the pin through the propeller motor shaft .
2If necessary, rotate the motor shaft to orient the pin horizontally so it is less likely to fall out during
installation.
3Align the channel on the inside of the propeller with the pin, and slide the propeller onto the motor shaft.
4Place the anode , washer , lock washer , and nut onto the end of the motor shaft.
5Using a 9/16in. (14mm) socket, tighten the lock nut to 6lbf-ft (8.13N-m) to secure the propeller.
Connecting to Power
WARNING
To avoid possible personal injury or property damage, the circuit breaker must be in the off position before you
connect the power cables from the trolling motor.
1Route the power cable to the breaker panel or the location where you plan to install the breaker.
2If necessary, extend the power cable using the appropriate wire gauge based on the length of the extension
(Power Cable Extension, page7) using solder and heat-shrink tubing.
3Install a trolling motor plug and receptacle rated for 60A or greater where the power cable enters a bulkhead
(optional).
4Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker rated for 60A (continuous).
5If necessary, connect the circuit breaker to a 60A, 24 or 36Vdc power source.
Power Cable Extension
You can extend the power cable using the appropriate gauge of wire based on the length of the extension.
NOTICE
Power cable extensions must use single-conductor wire, with a minimum 75°C (167°F) insulation, that is not
bundled, not sheathed, and not run through conduit. If you are using wire with 105°C (221°F) insulation or better,
you can bundle up to three conductors inside a sheath or conduit outside of engine spaces.
When installing the power cable extension, you must follow industry standards and best practices.
