Routing the Cable
DRILLING HOLE THROUGH TRANSOM (OPTIONAL)
1. Select a transom location for the hole above the water line that does not interfere with
other cables and controls.
2. Drill a 15 mm (5/8 in.) diameter hole.
3. Route the cable through the drilled hole. Seal the transom hole with silicone (RTV) or
a comparable marine sealer after the cable has been routed through.
NOTE: The hole for the first clamp should be 25 mm (1 in.) above the paddle wheel. The
hole for the second clamp should be positioned halfway between the first clamp and the
cap covering the transom hole drilled for the cable.
4. Using a 2.8 mm (7/64 in.) bit, drill holes for the clamps and cap approximately 13 mm
(1/2 in.) deep.
5. Apply silicone sealer (RTV) or a comparable marine sealer to the screw threads,
install the cable clamps and feed the cable through cable cap.
