3. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable
hole and use it as a guide to mark the two
escutcheon plate mounting holes. Remove
the plate, drill two 9/64" diameter x 5/8" deep
(3.5 mm diameter x 16 mm deep) holes, and
then fill both holes with marine-grade silicone
sealant. Place the escutcheon plate over the
cable hole and attach with two #8 x 5/8"
(16 mm) wood screws. Hand tighten only!
4. Route and secure the cable by attaching the
cable clamp to the transom. Drill one 9/64"
diameter x 5/8" deep (3.5 mm diameter x 16
mm deep) hole, then fill the hole with marine-
grade silicone sealant, then attach the cable
clamp using a #8 x 5/8" (16 mm) screw. Hand
tighten only!
NOTE: If there is excess cable that needs to be
gathered at one location (as shown in the illustration),
dress the cable routed from both directions so that a
single loop is left extending from the storage location.
Doubling the cable up from this point, form the cable
into a coil. Storing excess cable using this method can
reduce electronic interference (Figure 26).
5. Plug the cable connector back into the control
head. The ports are keyed to prevent reversed
installation, so be careful not to force the
connector into the port.
Your control head is now ready for operation.
