PRO TRIM™ Single/Dual Bezel Switch Assembly
5. Place the switch assembly over the steering wheel
shaft.
6. Align the holes in the switch assembly bracket (see
Figure 21) with the three holes of the shaft seal
retaining ring.
7. Attach the switch assembly using three (short)
7/16 in. screws (provided).
8. Tighten the screws, alternately and gradually, until all
three are tightened securely.
9. Proceed to "Wiring the Connections to the Marine
Craft Device" below.
5 .5 Wiring the Connections to the
Marine Craft Device
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
Before attempting to make any electrical
connections, ensure electrical power is OFF. Failure
to do so could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: SHOCK HAZARD
All wire connections must be secure and sealed to
protect from arcing. Failure to do so could result in
minor or moderate injury and property damage.
The instructions below are for all compatible steering
systems.
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Locate the appropriate existing wires on the marine
craft to complete the needed connections.
3. See the appropriate wiring instructions below for the
device the switch assembly will control:
– Wiring for engine trim connection:
Engine trim wiring consists of three conductors (1
red, 1 green, 1 blue) running together. Engine trim
wires are typically routed from the engine to the
side-mounted shift and throttle control.
– Wiring for jack plate connection:
Jack plate wires are typically found under the
dash. Refer to the manufacturer wiring diagrams
for the wire colors to properly configure your new
switch assembly.
EN
– Wiring for horn connection:
Horn wires are typically found under the dash.
It may be necessary to use a jumper wire on
the switch for the horn to operate in both the
toggle-up and toggle-down positions. Refer to
manufacturer wiring diagrams for the wire colors
to properly configure your new switch assembly.
4. Feed the switch wires to the inside or underside
of the dash, according to the passageway option
chosen at installation.
5. Make the wire connections to the marine craft by
cutting into the marine craft's trim, jack plate, or
horn's wiring (as appropriate):
a. Cut only one wire at a time.
b. Strip both ends.
c. Use the provided butt connector and insert the
two stripped wires from step b into one end of the
butt connector and crimp.
d. Insert the appropriate color wire from the
assembly switch into the other end of the butt
connector and crimp.
e. If not using the provided butt connector, be sure
the butt connector you use will accept:
– Two 16-gauge wires on one end
– One 16-gauge wire on the other end
f. Repeat steps a–e (one wire at a time) for the
remaining trim, jack plate, or horn wires (as
appropriate).
6. When all wires are connected, reconnect the battery.
7. Test the installation and intended function. (See
"Testing the Installation" on page 12 for
instructions.)
