Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, this can be used to route cables. Be sure to r oute the cable as far as practical from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables to r educe the possibility of interference.
1. Place the control head into the gimbal brack et. Make sure that the straight side of the gimbal arm is against the back side of the control head. 2. Place a 1" (25 mm) diameter black washer on the gimbal knob and then thread the knob and washer into the housing.
5. Set the gimbal bracket aside and drill the f our mounting screw holes using a 5/32" (4.0 mm) drill bit. 6a. If the cables must pass through a hole directly beneath the mounting bracket, mark and drill an additional 1" (25 mm) hole centered between the f our mounting holes.
9. Insert cable connectors into the proper r ecesses on the cable collector insert. The cable connector s are ke yed to pre vent re verse installation, so be careful not to for ce the connectors into the wrong slots. If you don’t hav e a cable for every hole in the insert, install the blank plugs to protect the control head fr om the weather .
10. While holding cables in place in the cable collector insert, thread the cables through the slot in the bottom of the cable collector cover , line up the cable collector insert and cover , then slide the cover into place on the insert. NOTE: The tab on the Cable Collector insert goes into the slot on the cover.
Connecting the Control Head P ower Cable to the Boat A 6' (2 m) long power cable is included to supply po wer to the control head. Y ou may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge multi-stranded copper wire. CAUTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 Volt electric systems, but the control head MUST be connected to a 12 VDC power supply.
GPS Receiver Installation T o optimize performance of the GPS receiv er , mount it in an area that has full exposure to the sky . The effectiv e area of reception is 10° abov e the horizon. Different cir cumstances determine the mounting method appropriate for your GPS receiv er .
3. Use electrical tape to secure the NMEA pigtail to the cable as shown. NOTE: Leave the NMEA pigtail secured to the cable unless needed. This will make removing the receiver easier. 4. Route the GPS receiver cable through the stem and continue with the planned route you chose in step 1.
No Access Under Mounting Location Follow these steps to deck mount the GPS r eceiver in a situation where y ou must route the cable to the side because there is no space f or a cable underneath the mounting location. 1. Determine the best location, then test route the cable from the mounting location to the control head.
T esting the System Installation After you hav e completed the installation of the control head, transducer , and any other accessories such as the GPS receiv er , and have made all the cabling connections required, y ou must test the installation before using the system.
