Measure approximately 40 cm (16 in.) on the power cable
from where it connects to the steering servo housing, and
look for the mark on the cable applied at the factory.
2 If you do not see a mark on the cable, or if the mark is not
approximately 40 cm (16 in.) from the connection, make a
mark with a marker or tape.
3
With the motor in the deployed position, route the transducer
cable through the channel along the right (starboard) side of
the mount .
TIP: To determine the right (starboard) side of the mount,
stand in a location where you can read the information on the
display panel.
4
Route the power cable through the channel above the
transducer cable.
5
Using the pull cable, carefully lift the motor from the deployed
position to the stowed position.
Because only one of the lift-assist gas springs is secured at
this point in the installation, you must use caution when lifting
the motor to the stowed position. The weight of the motor
may cause the mount to move quickly and pinch or crush
hands or fingers.
You must secure the cables to the mount with the motor in
the stowed position. If you complete this procedure with the
motor in the deployed position, the cables are not at their fully
extended length, and the added stress may damage the
cables during use.
