User Quick-start Guide

BCI Control Installation Instructions

•  Before drilling any holes, read the entire instructions.

•  Using the included template below, mark the  

locations for the 3/16" holes and the 1"  

center hole. 

•  Check carefully to ensure there are no obstructions behind 

the console before drilling any holes.

•  Using a 1" diameter hole-saw, drill the center hole.  

Use a 3/16" drill for the four mounting stud holes.

•  Place the helm display keypad onto the console, feeding the  

pre-connected wires through the 1" center hole while 

inserting the screws into each of the four holes.

•  Once the control plate is properly seated, use the 4 white 

nylon thumb nuts provided to secure the display.

•  Connect the orange wire to the power source for the gauges 

at the helm. This will power the control with all other dash 

devices.

•  Connect the purple wire to the ignition switch (or any 12V 

circuit that turns ON and OFF with ignition) for auto tab 

retraction. This wire is used to initiate Auto Tab Retraction 

(ATR) when the ignition is switched to the OFF position. If 

ATR is not desired, this connection may be omitted.

•  BCI requires calibration. See reverse side.

Diagnostics Relay Module Installation

•  Mount the Diagnostics Relay Module under the helm using 

the mounting hardware (2 screws provided) to secure it in 

place. 

•  Plug the (2) 20 ft. wire harnesses (BAW20XX) into the port 

and starboard actuators at one end. Then plug the other end 

of the (2) 20 ft. wire harnesses (BAW20XX) to the port and 

starboard plugs on the Diagnostics Relay Module (If cable 

length is not long enough, an extension is available).

•  Plug the 3 ft. wire harness on the display to the 3 ft. wire 

harness on to the Diagnostics Relay Module (If cable length 

is not long enough, an extension is available).

•  Find a suitable dry location and mount using #8 x 1/2” 

screws 

•  Connect helm control
•  Plug the port yellow/blue 20ft. twisted cable (PN# 

BAW20XX) to the port connector on the BRC Rocker 

Control.

•  Plug the starboard yellow/blue 20ft. twisted cable (PN# 

BAW20XX) to the starboard connector on the BRC Rocker 

Control. Connect ground (black wire) to ground bus

•  Connect power (orange wire) to a supply capable of a 20A 

(12V), or 10A (24V)

•  Press any button on the control to power up (connect battery 

or switch battery)

•  See reverse side for system startup and wiring diagram
