Step 3 - Attach The Pedestal Bracket; Motor Tube Location - Raymarine SPX-5 Installation & Setup Manual

Chapter 2: Installing the system
• Lubricate the spoke with washing-up liquid – so you can slide the spoke clamp
along the spoke to adjust its position.
• Place the insert on the spoke about 135 mm (5.3 in) from the wheel center –
this distance is not critical as the wheel drive will self-center as you fit all 3
spoke clamps.
• Place the spoke clamp onto the insert, making sure that you have correctly
located the clamp insert in the clamp.
• Locate 2 of the clamp screws (M5 x 16 mm allen-head screws).
• Lightly tighten the screws using the 3 mm allen key (Hex key, supplied).
4. Repeat step 3 to fit the other 2 spoke clamps. As you fit each one, adjust the
position of the wheel relative to the wheel drive so the holes in the clamp line up
with the holes in the cover. As you do this, the wheel drive will self-center on
the wheel.
5. After fitting all 3 spoke clamps, fully tighten the screws.
Step 3 – Attach the pedestal bracket
Note:
If your wheel is bulkhead or box pedestal mounted, you will need to obtain a bulkhead fit-
ting kit (part number E15017) from your Raymarine dealer. Fitting instructions are supplied with
the kit.

Motor tube location

You can mount the wheel drive in either one of two ways, to give the most effective
operation with your particular pedestal design and any adjacent obstructions:
• Slot 1 installation: the standard position uses slot 1 on the back of the wheel
drive (the slot closest to the motor tube) so the motor tube is at the bottom to the
right of the pedestal.
• Slot 2 installation: the alternative installation uses slot 2 to position the motor
tube at the top to the left of the pedestal.
Select the appropriate slot so the motor tube is clear of obstructions.
