7. Install the motor controllers close enough to the saildrive for the cables to
reach. Connect the power cables (M1, M2 and M3) to the terminals on the
motor controllers labeled M1, M2 and M3. Connect the encoder cable.
Make sure the motor labeled “1” is connected to the controller labeled “1”
and the motor labeled “2” is connected to the controller labeled “2”.
8. Connect a yellow (-) cable to the (B-) terminal on each controller. There
will also be one or two smaller black wires with 5/16” terminals. Put these
on top of the batter cable terminal and secure with the supplied bolt.
9. Connect the red (+) cable from the relay with the 18AWG red wire to the
(B+) terminal on the controller with the grey controller module mounted
with it.
10. Connect the red (+) cable from the other relay to the (+) terminal on the
other motor controller. MAKE SURE THIS POLARITY IS CORRECT.
Reconnect the cable between the (+) battery terminal and the fuse.
11. Connect the Throttle Quadrant cable and Battery Monitor cable. They
secure with a twist and are waterproof. The display connector has 8 pins.
The throttle has 6 pins. They also have an alignment post. Make sure to
connect the correct connectors together and rotate until the alignment post
is aligned. Do not force them together. They go together easily when
properly aligned. Rotate the locking collar clockwise to secure.
