Substitution with non-SeaStar or non-i7X00 components may compromise system safety, performance, and reliability. 3. If an instruction is unclear, contradictory, or you are otherwise uncertain how to proceed, do not guess. Call Dometic technical support. After Installation 1. Check that there is no interference between the control head levers and the steering wheel or any other dash-mounted components. - Page 8 Prior to every use Perform a system inspection as outlined below. 1. Check steering fluid level. 2. Verify immediate steering response when turning steering wheel(s). 3. Inspect all steering hoses, fittings, mechanical cables, and electrical harnesses for wear, kinks, or leaks. 4.

Page 11: System Overview
2.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 2.1 System Description SeaStar i7X00 is an electromechanical system that replaces a traditional cable-operated engine remote control with an electronic control. Shift and throttle settings are sent over a serial data network to electro-mechanical actuators, where they are converted to cable motion. -

Page 15: Installing The Actuators
3.3 Installing the Actuators 3.3.1 Location and Identification Consider the following when locating and mounting the actuators: • The mechanical cable run should be as short, straight, and direct as possible. • The mechanical cables need adequate clearance where they exit the actuators and enter the engines. -
Page 16: Electrical Connections
The preferred source is the engine battery or a battery switch. If you need to extend the leads, follow ABYC codes and practices. Dometic recommends a minimum wire size of 10AWG. See the schematic wiring diagram (figure 3-9). 3.4.2... -
Page 17: Ignition Source
3.4.3 Ignition Source The actuator harness contains a violet (purple) ignition lead. Connect this to the ignition switch for the engine the actuator is controlling. The wire should have 12VDC when the engine is switched on. Option 1 – single ignition source IGNITION TO ACTUATOR SOURCE... -
Page 18: Can2 Harness Connections
3.5 CAN2 Harness Connections Figure 3-4 and figure 3-5 show the CAN2 network wiring for single and dual station applications. All tees must be secured using both screw holes, and the cable drops at each tee must be appropriately secured and strain-relieved to prevent any pull on the tees. See figure 3-6 for proper tee installation example. - Page 19 SHIFT/THROTTLE ACTUATOR CANtrak SETUP TOOL EPSK1207 CM20029 3' PIGTAIL MALE TERMINATOR CM10051 1 x NETWORK TEE CM10060 TEMPORARILY INSTALLED OPTIONAL OPTIONAL THIRD STATION SECOND STATION MAIN STATION CONTROL HEAD CONTROL HEAD CONTROL HEAD 3' PIGTAIL 3' PIGTAIL 3' PIGTAIL CE42100* CE42100* CE42100* 2' PIGTAIL...

ALL NUTS DOUBLE TIP: Once you've tightened the CHECKED FOR TIGHTNESS nuts on the tees, mark them with AND MARKED a permanent marker as shown in figure 3-6. This makes it easy to inspect them for tightness later.

Page 21: Analog Tachometer
3.6 Analog Tachometer The actuator harness contains a gray lead that can be connected to an analog engine tachometer. You will not need to make this connection if you are getting the speed source through an NMEA2000 network, or if you have made an analog tachometer connection on the PCM CAN2 harness. -
Page 22: Nmea Gateway Connection
3.6.1 NMEA Gateway Connection Do not use an existing gateway connected to an existing NMEA 2000 network. The CAN2 network is not NMEA 2000 compliant, and there is a risk that an otherwise minor failure on the NMEA 2000 bus could interfere with the EST operation. Connect the NMEA 2000 gateway to the engine bus and to a tee on the CAN2 network as shown in figure 3-9. -
Page 23: System Setup
4.0 SYSTEM SETUP Before you proceed you need to have all i7X00 components installed, For FIRST TIME USERS of the harnesses connected, and power wiring completed. The actuator setup tool: Refer to Appendix B cables should not be connected yet. (page B-1) for startup instructions This section will describe the system setup using the color CANtrak and then return to this section... - Page 24 5. For each shift actuator set the Shift to Forward Direction parameter (figure 4-2) to Push or Pull to match the direction the See table 4-1 at the end of this actuator is required to move to engage forward gear. Don’t section for typical actuator adjust the other parameters yet.
- Page 25 Increase the throttle on each of the control head levers from idle to full throttle and check that the throttle actuators advance and return accordingly. Place both levers back in the neutral position. 10. Apply the manual override decals (figure 4-4) to the actuator chassis label in the dashed boxes provided (figure 4-5).

Page 26: Actuator Adjustment
4.1.2 Actuator Adjustment After installing the cables, proper adjustment is critical for overall system performance. This section will describe how to adjust the See table 4-1 at the end of this shift and throttle cables. Be sure to review and understand the section for typical actuator installation goals for each section before proceeding. - Page 27 Procedure 1. Turn ignition on but do not start engines. 2. Navigate to Dealer Menu > Initial Setup > Shift & Throttle > Adjust Port Throttle Actuator. 3. Increase the port control lever to the full throttle position (forward gear) and verify that the throttle linkage reaches the wide open throttle (WOT) position.

5.0 SEA TRIAL WARNING ALWAYS WEAR A PFD AND CONNECT THE ENGINE LANYARD(S) TO THE OPERATOR DURING SEA TRIAL. WARNING PROCEED CAREFULLY TO DEEP, OPEN WATER TO CONDUCT SEA TRIAL. Before conducting this sea trial: • check that both engines shift correctly into forward and reverse gear, and that they respond to throttle inputs. -
Page 30: Conclusion Of Sea Trial
Enter Trolling Mode and check that full throttle gives a satisfactory fraction of maximum, and that the low speed control is precise. Adjust the Trolling Max Throttle parameters (section 4.3) if necessary. If there are two control stations, run the vessel from both. Transfer control between control heads and verify that transfer works as it should. -

Page 45: Navigating Datalink
C.3 Navigating Datalink When you run the Datalink software it will open up with a window similar to the one shown in figure C-2. At the very top of the display is a series of pull-down menus that access various functions. Just below that is the toolbar, which contains buttons for the most commonly used functions. - Page 46 What this means is that the parameters you see are just a snapshot of what is in the device. If you edit these parameters on screen, the changes exist only in Datalink. They will not exist in the device until you click the Write button on the toolbar. Write takes all the database values that exist in Datalink and copies them to the device, where they are saved in nonvolatile memory (i.e.
