Ground strap installation

You must install the ground strap on the Electric Actuator to reduce the risk
of corrosion from stray currents. Refer to the installation diagram and
observe the following guidelines:
• Install the ground strap to the actuator on the starboard side, the same
side as the harness cable exit.
• Route the ground strap under the tilt tube and fasten the loose end of the
strap to the midsection steering bracket holes using the correct fasteners.
NOTICE!
Incorrect routing of ground strap may cause entanglement with moving
components during steering maneuvers.
• Ensure there is enough slack in the ground strap to allow the engine to
pivot freely in all trim and tilt positions, and throughout the steering
range of the engine.
