w. Locate the Power Leads for the trolling motor. Turn the
power to the motor “off” and remove the motor Power
Leads from any power source.
x. The wires may need to be trimmed and stripped.
Make sure that the wires are long enough to reach
the installation location. Use a Wire Cutter to cut the
wires to remove any terminals or covers that may be
in place. Cut the wires so that the ends of the wires
are staggered, and the Negative (-) Power Lead is
approximately 1-¼" longer than the Positive (+)
Power Lead.
y. With a Wire Stripper remove the protective covering
on the wires. It is recommended to remove ½" to ¾"
of the protective covering to expose the wires. Use
a Ruler to measure this distance if necessary. If the
Positive (+) Power Lead and Negative (-) Power Lead
of the Trolling Motor Wires are fused together, split
them so they are separated by a minimum of 2-½”
from the end of the shortest wire.
WARNING
Make sure that the trolling motor wires are not connected
to a power source. Failure to remove power could cause
electric shock.

z. Both the Positive (+) Power Lead and Negative (-)
Power Lead of the Trolling Motor Wires should be
covered with a Ferrule. Take two 10 AWG or 8 AWG
Ferrules (Item #10) or (Item #12) and place one on
the end of each of the motor wires. With the Ferrules
placed, take the Splice Cover (Item #4) and thread
both the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Power Lead of
the Trolling Motor Wires through it.

NOTICE:
The 10 AWG Ferrules are the smallest
in the provided hardware. The two extra 8 AWG
Ferrules (Item #10) may only be needed if the Plug
Assembly wires need to be trimmed or recapped.
Wire sizes vary, so it may be necessary to use a
different sized Ferrule.

the Splicer by tightening the Set Screw with a 3/32"
Allen Wrench (Item #14) to 20 in-lbs.
