Controller installation

The controller can be installed in a dash that is 1/4" to 1.5" thick and at any angle
from horizontal to vertical. When determining where on the dash to place the trim
tab controller, consider:
• are the buttons and indicator lights visible while operating the boat?
• is the dial accessible without interference from other dash components?
• is there enough clear space behind the dash? You will need at least 6" (155mm)
from the surface of the dash to any obstructions behind it.
Once you've determined the controller location:
Tape the template (section 8) to the dash and mark the center point of the
controller and the anti-rotation notch. The notch must be at the top.
At the notch center point, drill a 1/8" diameter hole through the dash.
At the controller center, cut a circular hole through the dash with a 2.5" (64 mm)
hole saw. Take care to cut perpendicularly to the dash.
NOTICE! Potential damage
Check that there are no wires behind the dash before drilling holes.
Use a saw or file to remove any remaining material between the large hole and
the small hole to create the notch.
Remove all rough edges and burrs from both front and rear surfaces of the dash.
Remove the bezel nut (fig

Place the rear gasket over the controller housing until it contacts the rear of the
dash. Thread on the bezel nut and tighten securely by hand. Do not use a tool
to tighten.
NOTE
If space is limited behind the dash, you may find it easier to connect
the harness to the controller before installing it. See section 5 for
harness information.
