Overview

The Garmin 010-12832-70 is a LiveScope transducer mounting bracket made to pair a compatible LiveScope transducer with a Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor.

It positions the transducer where it can do its job while keeping the installation cleaner by letting you route the transducer cable through the trolling motor shaft. That helps reduce exposed cable on deck where it can snag on rods, lines, and gear during tight boat handling.

Key features

• Made for Garmin Force Kraken trolling motors and a compatible LiveScope transducer
• Supports routing the transducer cable through the trolling motor shaft to keep the bow area less cluttered
• Keeps the transducer mounting point aligned with the trolling motor so the setup moves and stows as a single unit
• Helps protect the cable from common pinch and snag points that come with external cable runs

Installation and setup

Mount the bracket to the trolling motor where the transducer can sit securely, then route the transducer cable up through the Force Kraken shaft as intended for a cleaner run. Leave enough slack for full steering travel and for stow and deploy, then secure the remaining cable so it cannot chafe against moving parts.

After installation, cycle the motor through steering and stow/deploy to confirm the cable stays clear and the transducer remains stable. This is especially important on boats that see heavy chop or frequent trailering vibration.

Compatibility and fit

This bracket is meant for the Force Kraken trolling motor platform and a compatible LiveScope transducer. Fit on other trolling motors, or on non-compatible transducers, is not implied. Confirm your trolling motor model and transducer model match your setup before purchase so the bracket, cable path, and mounting location line up correctly.

Use cases on board

This is a practical add-on for anglers who want a LiveScope setup on the bow without the mess and snag risk of an external cable run. It also suits boats where the trolling motor is frequently stowed, deployed, and rotated, since keeping the cable managed through the shaft helps the installation stay tidy over time.
