Mounting Adjustable Upper
Hinge Actuators (BEA3000)
to the Transom
• Temporarily detach the actuator
from the lower hinge by
unscrewing the 1/4-20 x 3/4 screws.
• Carefully insert end of the electrical
cable through the adjustable upper
hinge mount and install the sealing
grommet onto the cable.
• Pull the cable through the upper
hinge mount until the mount is
about 8" from the actuator.
• Insert the end of the cable through
the transom hole.
• Temporarily mount the actuator to
the adjustable upper hinge using
the supplied 5/16-18 bolt and lock
nut to set the cable length.
• Temporarily mount the upper
hinge of the new actuator to the
transom using (2) of the supplied
#14 x 1-1/2" screws in the lower
mounting positions, leaving a gap
of 1/4" between the upper hinge
and the transom. Pull the excess
cable though the transom leaving
enough cable to prevent the
actuator from binding during its
normal movement.
• Ensure that the cable sealing
grommet is moved down the cable
to its seat on the upper hinge.
