Carefully route the power cable through the Cable
Harness Boot to the battery compartment.

Carefully remove any slack in the power cable so that it routes cleanly

Connecting the optional Deployment Alarm: If connecting, the user
must install a wire from the switched side of the 12V ignition power
back to the Green Auto Alarm Wire. This wire should be no smaller
than 18AWG. Cut off the sealed end of the green wire and splice the
green wire to the user installed wire. Make sure to use adhesive filled
heat shrink to waterproof this splice. Verify that 12VDC is present at
this splice when the key switch/ignition of the boat is in the ON
position and that no voltage is present when the key switch/ignition of
the boat is in the OFF position. When properly connected, this feature
will sound an alarm only when the ignition key is turned on AND the
Talon is not fully retracted.
6.
If not installing the Deployment Alarm, leave the sealed end of the green
wire as is.

Important: Carefully loosen the battery connection terminals (or
battery selector switch connection points) and avoid short-circuiting
across the battery posts (or battery selector switch connection points).
Connect the
white lead with red stripe
of the power cable (with 30A
in-line fuse) to the starting battery positive (+) (or battery selector
switch positive). Connect the black lead of the power cable to the
starting battery negative (-) (or battery selector switch negative).
