SYSTEM INSTALLATION
SEASTAR POWER ASSIST
Electrical Installation
Always use appropriate wiring terminals as per ABYC requirements.
If connecting directly to a battery there MUST be an overcurrent
protection as per ABYC E11.12 OVERCURRENT PROTECTION.
Failure to do so may result in a fire and/or explosion leading to
property damage, personal injury and/or death.
• Refer to wiring diagram on page 13 of this manual.
• Connect Red wire (+ positive) to the positive (+) supply
• Connect Black wire (– negative) to the negative (–) supply
• Connect purple wire (Power) to the ignition of the boat. Use of a
two-position ON/OFF switch is recommended, use a fuse protected
switch ONLY. Use of this switch will allow the helmsman to turn
the Power Assist OFF in the case of power supply being limited.
NOTICE
If applicable, complete the wiring from the distribution panel to the
boat batter y in accordance to ABYC E-11.10 Load Calculation and
E-11.16 System wiring.
NOTICE
WARNING
ALWAYS use ABYC compliant components in electrical installations
of the Power Assist and any other electrical device being installed
on board the vessel. Failure to do so may result in a fire and/or
explosion leading to property damage, personal injury and/or death.
WARNING
Overcurrent protection MUST be used to connect the SeaStar Power
Assist in a distribution panel or to a battery. The overcurrent may be:
• An ABYC compliant, 50AMP rated circuit breaker, or
• An in-line MAXI fuse, Teleflex part # HA1206
• If the location of the SeaStar Power Assist unit is within 72" of
the battery, the main over-current protection (fuses) within the
Power Assist unit itself will meet ABYC requirements.
WARNING
The Power Assist wiring may be cut
to length as per your installation.
