1.
The C-Power should be connected to a metal, grounded, permanent wiring system. An equipment-
grounding conductor should be run with circuit wiring and connected through the C-Power housing
grommets to the equipment grounding (GRN) terminal on the C-Power.
2.
Connections to the C-Power should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
INSTALLING THE C-POWER
Choosing Mounting Hardware
As with any marine equipment, secure mounting is of utmost importance. The bolts or screws used to secure the
C-Power must be 1/4-inch in diameter, backed with a flat washer, and kept vibration-free with a split-ring lock
washer. If using bolts, they must be long enough to be secured on both sides of the bulkhead. If using screws,
they should be at least 1 inch long. All hardware should be corrosion-resistant.
Mounting the C-Power
All corrosion-resistant mounting hardware should be readily available. Follow the steps below to mount the C-
Power to the bulkhead.
Step
Action
1.
Hold the C-Power vertically flush on the bulkhead.
2.
Mark the mounting holes.
3.
Remove the C-Power.
4.
Drill the mounting holes.
5.
Insert one side of the mounting hardware half-way into the drilled mounting holes.
6.
Align the mounting slots on the C-Power with the secured hardware and slide the C-Power’s mounting
flange under the washers.
7.
Insert the mounting hardware for the other side.
8.
Secure all mounting hardware.
Mounting the Optional Splash Guard
If ordered, position and install the optional splash guard (Figure 1) over the C-Power so that the back flange bot-
tom rests on top of the C-Power. This insures proper vertical spacing for ventilation. For optimum splash protec-
tion, be sure to center the splash guard horizontally over the C-Power. Secure with 1/4 inch diameter screws,
approximately 1/2 inch long.
Do not operate this unit without the green wire connected to the CPower and to suitable ground at
shore connection.
DANGER
Note:
Read this manual and all precautions before installing or making connections!
Choosing Electrical Wiring Hardware
The C-Power is intended for hard-wiring in a permanent application. Conduit or other appropriate marine electrical
installation hardware should be used.
