INSTALLATION OF WIRING HARNESS
A wire harness must be prepared for connection of the
CH2200ENC control head to the engine TAC module. Every
boat is different and there may be several ways to route the
harness. Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used
for wiring. This can also be used to route the wire harness for
the CH2200ENC control.
When routing the wiring harness, care must be taken not to
damage the cable insulation. If a harness is short, replace it with
a correct length harness. Don't add a short harness to make up
the required length. Run the harness over the shortest and
straightest possible path. Secure the harness every 2 feet (0.6
m) with stainless steel screws and mounting head ties or
clamps. Excess harness length should be neatly coiled and
secured with nylon ties. The mounted harness should be as far
as practical from high current wires or wiring runs and should
not be subjected to water, fuel, lubricants, or excess heat.
PREPARATION OF CONTROL HEAD WIRE HARNESS
Measure from the control head mounting location along
unobstructed wire runs to the engine module.
Round measurement to the next whole foot and add additional
length if uncertain.
Prepare harness as shown in Figure 5 [on page 3]. It is
recommended that conductors be stranded tinned copper (UL
1426 or equivalent), 18 AWG min. Colors shown are optional.
CONNECTION OF THE WIRING
HARNESS
NOTE: ALWAYS CONNECT THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE
CONTROL HEAD BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE ENGINE.
ENGINE CONNECTION SHOULD NOT BE MADE UNTIL THE
CONTROL HAS BEEN COMPLETELY INSTALLED.
Ensure that the watertight seal is in place and connect the 6-pin
connector from the completed harness assembly into the rear of
the potentiometer mounted on the control head mechanism. The
connector should be fully seated and latched for proper
operation.
THROTTLE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The control mechanism is equipped with an adjustable friction
device (brake) for the throttle to prevent throttle creep. If
needed, the friction device can be adjusted by turning the
adjustment screw (Figure 4,
item A) clockwise to increase
braking and counterclockwise to decrease or remove braking.
Any adjustments should be made with the control set at 1/2
throttle and the gear engaged. Gear shifting is not influenced
by the brake.

INSTALLATION OF CONTROL
A.
INSTALLING THE MECHANISM
1.
Make sure the control is in gear and at the half throttle
position. This will allow the control to fit in the cutout
shown in the template. If not already in half throttle
position, use the handle to move in gear and at half
throttle position by temporarily placing the handle on the
splined shaft of the control. Push the mechanism until it
seats flush against the mounting surface of the boat.
2.
Secure the control mechanism to the boat with the four
screws provided.
