| Route the Cables and Connect Power

WARNING! The power source must be turned off before you proceed with this
installation.
1. Connect the power cable to the power cable connector on the pod shaft,
and connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet cable connector on the pod
shaft.
The connectors are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to
force the connectors into the wrong connectors. Hand tighten the screw nuts
on each connector (see the illustration Hand-tightening the Screw Nut).
2. Route the cables to the side of the trolling motor, over the bow, to the chosen
connection locations in Section 1: Prepare for Installation. Leave sufficient
slack in the cables to allow for full movement of the trolling motor during
normal operation.
NOTE: The cables 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.
CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged
in water or flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to
apply dielectric grease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric
grease can be purchased separately from a general hardware or automotive store.
3. Ethernet: Insert the other send of the Ethernet
Cable into the Ethernet port on the control
head. Hand-tighten the screw nut.
NOTE: If you have a HELIX Series unit with
Ethernet, connect the Ethernet Cable to the
Ethernet Adapter Cable (AS EC QDE). Insert the
connector into the Ethernet port on the control
head or cable tray. See your control head
installation guide for details.
