Route The Cables And Connect Power - Humminbird MEGA 360 IMAGING Series Installation Manual

3. 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 transducer cable to the transducer cable connector on the pod
shaft.
The connectors are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to
force the connectors. Hand-tighten the screw nuts on each connector.
NOTE: If you are connecting the MEGA 360 Imaging transducer and
another compatible transducer to the same control head, you will need to
purchase a transducer splitter cable (y-cable). See Compatibility for the list
of cables, and visit our Web site at www.humminbird.com/support/
installation-diagrams to view the wiring diagrams.
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.
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.
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.
