Step 2. Installation of Master Module
Mount the Master Module under the dash normally on the bulkhead accessible behind and
right of the passenger seat in a dry location. It can also be installed on the left side of
driver's bulkhead. The wires from under the dash pod can be easily fed across the bulkhead.
Route servo motor power cable from Master Module to servo motor and connect. A wire
snake is helpful. (Use tie wraps to keep cable away from moving parts). Make sure the tips
on the plug are facing up towards the top of the Master Module box.
Step 3. Mount Dash Display
Remove the right speedometer and install the In Dash PerfectPass Display and connect
into Master Module. (If there is a speedo tube on back, it can be plugged using a golf tee).
If you have the External Display, install using supplied mounting post to the right of dash
next to wind screen. In the event you have 5" gauges, generally the PerfectPass 5" display
replaces the tachometer.
(On 5" gauges, refer to specific instructions sent with gauge).
Step 4. Connect Power Wire
Depending on the boat and model, there are a number of ways to connect to a switched
(12 volt) power source.
1. On boats with traditional analogue gauges and posts on back of tachometer, there is a
12 volt (+) post often marked (IGN) which is an easy connection to the purple wire. The
black wire end can attach to the ground (-) post marked (GND).
2. On boats with Borg Warner gauges with no posts, attach the PerfectPass purple power
wire to the purple wire leading to the ignition terminal. The black wire can be securely
grounded to the grounding bar or other suitable ground location.
3. 2000 – 2005 Nautiques – There is a main wiring harness and large white plug located
behind the dash pod. Connected to this plug is a purple wire carrying the switched 12
volts and a black wire which is a suitable ground connection.
4. 2002 – 2005 MasterCraft – Power, RPM and Paddle Wheel speed is all located in the
special plug and play harness supplied with each system. The MasterCraft supplied
white connector is on every boat specifically for PerfectPass. You may have to remove
the driver's foot panel to locate this connector in the boat's wiring harness.
5. 2005 Malibu – The plug & play harness will provide RPM, Power and Speed signal.
