SERVICE ALERT
1.
Disconnect the trolling motor from power
.
2. Transition the trolling motor to the deployed position.
3. Disconnect the cable from the display panel on the upper link of the
mount by turning the collar on the connector counter-clockwise.
4. Using two 4 mm hex bits or wrenches, remove a screw and washer
from one side of the upper pin on the steering system housing.
NOTE
: When you remove this pin, the upper link of the mount will
drop, and the steering system housing may tip forward. Make sure
you are prepared for this movement.
The bushings between the steering system housing and upper link of the
mount may fall out when you remove this pin. Make sure you retain these
bushings.
5. Using a 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the three screws that secure the
cable-junction box to the steering system housing.
6. Create slack in the pull cable and move it to the side so that it is not lying
across the cable-junction box.
7. Tip the steering system housing forward and pull the cable-junction box away
from the housing to disconnect it.
NOTE
: The cable-junction box is connected to the steering system housing
with a multi-pin connector. You will encounter slight resistance when you
pull on the box.
8. Move the cable-junction box into a position where you can access the power
cable terminals.
9. Pull the rubber shield up and away from the positive terminal on the steering
servo housing.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten
the nuts that secure the power cable. The nuts should
be snug and securely clamp the ring terminal on the power cable, but
excessive tightening may damage the connection.
10. While holding the cable-junction box in your hand, use a 10 mm wrench to tighten the
nut that secures the power cable to the positive terminal, observing the following:
•
A properly tightened nut will have no gap between the ring terminal on the
power cable, the nut, and the washer, and you will not be able to move the
ring terminal on the post.
•
If you have a torque wrench (recommended), you should tighten the nuts
to 3 ft-lbs (36 in-lbs) (4 N-m).
11. Pull the rubber shield down to cover the positive terminal.
12. Repeat steps 9 through 11 for the negative terminal.
13. Tip the steering system housing forward, align the connector on the back of the cable-
junction box with the connector on the steering system housing, and press to connect
it.
14. Secure the cable-junction box to the steering system housing using the three screws
you removed in step 5.
15. Remove the slack from the pull cable and make sure it is not pinched or tangled in the power or display panel
cables. The pull cable should run vertically along the steering system housing without any kinks or bends.
16. Make sure the bushings are installed in the steering system housing and reconnect the upper link of the mount to the
steering system housing using the pin , washer, and screw you removed in step 4.
17. Align the cable with the keyed connector on the display panel and turn the collar clockwise to secure it.
18. Reconnect the trolling motor to power.
