STEP 3: FEED WIRES AND AIR LINE THROUGH DECK
a. Determine a location for the motor control box, ideally in a dry storage
area close to the bow on the helm side of the boat.
b. Using a 1 ¼” hole saw, drill holes at appropriate locations for routing of
the thruster cables, actuator cable and air vent line.
Feed the thruster cables, blue actuator cable and air line into the storage
location.
c. Drill a 1 ¼” hole (if required) to access the helm area. Route the
actuator cable under the helm for connection to the control module.
Route the motor control cables under the helm for connection to a
dedicated 12v battery
or
to your main 12v house battery.
d. Route a charge line from your house battery to the thruster battery (if
required).
WARNING: Verify that hole placement will not interfere with or damage
anything when drilling through the deck and storage location, and
that there is sufficient space so that cables can be accessed after
passing through the proposed hole location.
WARNING: Ensure the control box is located in a dry storage area
