2.
Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes and that installation hardware will not damage existing
components or wiring below the mounting surface.
3.
Make sure that the trolling motor Power Leads and the Boat Wires are not connected to a power source before beginning installation.
4.
Test that the Boat Wires can reach the intended mounting location to be attached to the Plug Receptacle. Also check that the
Trolling Motor Lead Wires can reach the Plug Assembly wires and that there is enough slack that the plug can be both plugged in
and unplugged at the intended location. All wires should not only reach, but also have extra slack to allow for ease of installation or
repairs and relieve tension on the final installation. If the wires are not adequate in length, select another location.
5.
Determine if the mounting location will work when the Plug Assembly is plugged into the Plug Receptacle. Check for clearance
that will be required for the cords exiting and entering on both sides of the installation. Allow for space for the cords to exist and
accommodate plugging and unplugging the plug as needed.
INSTALLATION
Trolling Motor Plug and Receptacle Installation
1
a.
Review the Mounting Considerations and determine
an acceptable Mounting Location.
WARNING
Make sure the power source is disconnected or, if controlled
by a switch, turned OFF before beginning installation of the
Plug Receptacle. Failure to remove power from the Boat Wires
could cause electric shock.
b.
Once an acceptable Mounting Location is selected,
remove any power leading to the Boat Wires. Use a
Drill with a 1-¾" Hole Saw to drill a hole through the
selected location.
c.
With the hole drilled, locate the Boat Wires that the
plug will be connected to. The wires may need to be
trimmed and stripped. Use a Wire Cutter to cut the
wires to remove any terminals or covers that may be
in place.
NOTICE:
For ease of installation, it is recommended
to stagger the ends of the wires by 1-¼". Make the
Negative (-) Boat Wire the shorter wire of the two.
Staggering the length of the wires will help with the
installation of the hardware used to connect the wires
later in the installation.

d.
With a Wire Stripper remove the protective covering
on the wires. It is recommended to remove
approximately ½" to ¾" of the protective covering
to expose the wires. Use a Ruler to measure this
distance if necessary. If the Positive (+) and Negative
(-) Boat Wires are fused together, split them so they
are separated by a minimum of 2-½" from the end of
the shortest wire.
