Once the appropriate plug is obtained, it will need to be installed on the power cord.
Depending on the location of the socket relative to your system it may be appropriate
to trim the main power conductor to a shorter length. If shortening the power cable,
be sure to leave adequate length to complete the connection to the plug and allow
for the plug to be inserted with a small amount of slack remaining. Generally you
should have 6" to 12" of slack in the cable when plugged in.
Using a volt meter, determine the positive 24 volt and ground (negative) terminals
on the socket and plug. Following the instructions provided with the plug, connect
the white power wire to the positive 24 volt terminal and the black power wire to the
negative terminal.
When complete, reinstall any fuses or turn on your circuit breaker and insert the plug
into the socket. At this point you should hear the system beep indicating that it is
getting power.
COMPLETE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
If your boat is not already equipped with a 24 volt battery power system it will be
necessary to install one.
This process is of moderate difficulty and should only be attempted by experi-
enced technicians. We recommend that you contact an authorized installer to
complete this process for you.
A 24 volt trolling motor battery system will generally consist of two, 12 volt deep cycle
batteries, #6 (or larger for long runs) power conductors, a 24v, 50A rated circuit
breaker, a 24v, 50A rated receptacle, and optionally a permanently installed 24v bat-
tery charger as per the following wiring schematic. If you plan to attempt a complete
installation yourself, please feel free to contact Rhodan Marine Systems for addi-
tional guidance and information.
