w. Locate the Power Leads for the trolling motor. Turn
the power on 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
approximately 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 #18) or (Item #16) 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.

Ferrules
NOTICE:
The 10 AWG Ferrules are the smallest in
the provided hardware. The eight 8 AWG Ferrules
may only be needed if the Plug Receptacle, Plug
Assembly or Trolling Motor wires need to be
trimmed or recapped. Wire sizes vary, so it may be
necessary to use a different sized Ferrule.

place one on the end of the longer Negative (-) Power
Lead of the Trolling Motor Wire. Take one Splicer
(Item #12) and place it on the end of the same wire.
Secure the Splicer by tightening the Set Screw with
an 3/32" Allen Wrench to 20 in-lbs.
