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 24 or 36 Vdc battery bank capable of supplying 60 A continuously. · You must connect to the power source through a circuit breaker rated for continuous 60 A (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, page 7). · For convenience, you can install a trolling motor plug and receptacle rated for 60 A 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. 1 Select a mounting location on the bow of your boat, according to the mounting considerations. 2 Place the included mounting template on the mounting location with the mount on the template overhanging the gunwale or the edge of the boat deck. 3 Mark the mounting hole locations on the boat deck. 4 Using a 5/16 in. (8 mm) drill bit, drill the mounting holes. 5 Place the motor on the boat deck, aligning the holes on the mount with the mounting holes. 6 Secure 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. 7 Adjust the depth stop so that the motor can deploy without hitting the ground. 4 8 Press the release , slide the propeller drive motor head out , and gently pivot the trolling motor into the deployed position . 9 Secure 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 10.85 N-m (8 lbf-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 4 mm 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 4 mm 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 1 Insert the pin through the propeller motor shaft . 2 If necessary, rotate the motor shaft to orient the pin horizontally so it is less likely to fall out during installation. 3 Align the channel on the inside of the propeller with the pin, and slide the propeller onto the motor shaft. 4 Place the anode , washer , lock washer , and nut onto the end of the motor shaft. 5 Using a 9/16 in. (14 mm) socket, tighten the lock nut to 6 lbf-ft (8.13 N-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. 1 Route the power cable to the breaker panel or the location where you plan to install the breaker. 2 If necessary, extend the power cable using the appropriate wire gauge based on the length of the extension (Power Cable Extension, page 7) using solder and heat-shrink tubing. 3 Install a trolling motor plug and receptacle rated for 60 A or greater where the power cable enters a bulkhead (optional). 4 Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker rated for 60 A (continuous). 5 If necessary, connect the circuit breaker to a 60 A, 24 or 36 Vdc 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. Extension length 0 to 3 m (0 to 10 ft. ) 3 to 4.6 m (10 to 20 ft.) 4.6 to 9.1 m (20 to 30 ft.)
