DSM300 Installation Manual
11. After the sealant cures, inspect and lubricate the O-rings on the paddle wheel
insert with silicone grease or petroleum jelly (see Figure 2-16 ).
12. Slide the paddle wheel insert into the valve assembly with the arrow on the
top pointing forward until it is fully seated (the insert fits one way only).
Take care not to rotate the outer housing and disturb the sealant.
13. Slide the center ring of the safety chain onto the cable. Slide the retaining pin
in place and reattach the safety ring (Figure 2-15 ).
CAUTION:
Always attach the safety wire to prevent the insert from backing
out in the unlikely event that the cap nut fails or is screwed on
incorrectly.
14. Wrap one end of the safety wire tightly around the stem of the housing and
twist it together with the long end. Lead the wire straight up and through one
eye in the cap nut, then through one of the safety rings. Loop the wire through
the pull ring and twist it securely to itself.
15. Route the cable to the transducer, being careful not to tear the cable jacket
when passing it through the bulkhead(s) and other parts of the boat.
16. Attach the connector nut to the cable per instructions in
Transducer Cable
Connections

.
17. Attach the assembled connector cable to the transducer.
18. Route the other end of the cable to the DSM, being careful not to tear the
cable jacket when passing it through the bulkhead(s) and other parts of the
boat. To reduce electrical interference, separate the transducer cable from
other electrical wiring and the engine.
19. Coil any excess cable and secure it in place using tie-wraps to prevent
damage.
