WARNING! The power source must be turned off before you proceed with the installation.
1. Confirm that all power sources are turned off.

NOTE: The cable should be routed through an established routing system on the boat, in an area
with minimal interference. Inspect the selected route carefully to ensure that there are no sharp
edges, obstacles, or obstructions that may damage the cables.
