Gently pull the ends of the power and data cables as you
feed them the rest of the way through the shaft.
NOTICE
When feeding the cables, you must pull on the cable and not
on the cable connectors. The data cable connector is fragile
and may break if you pull on the connector.
13
Prepare the four bolts in the shaft and motor hardware
service kit by placing a washer and a 4.75 mm (
3
/
16
in.) O-
ring on each one.
14
Using the grease packet included in the shaft and motor
hardware service kit, apply grease to the 4.75 mm (
3
/
16
in.)
O-ring on each bolt.
Avoid getting grease on the bolt threads.
NOTE:
If you did not previously apply thread-locking
compound in the four mounting holes for these bolts, you
must apply it before installing these bolts.
15
Using a ball-head 4 mm hex bit or wrench, thread all four of
the prepared bolts approximately halfway to make sure that
the shaft base and the propeller drive motor are properly
aligned.
16
With the shaft base and the propeller drive motor properly
aligned, lightly tighten all four bolts by hand.
17
Using a torque wrench, tighten all four bolts to 4 N-m (35 lbf-
in).
Installing the Nose Cone and Skeg
Before you can install the nose cone and skeg, you must install
the propeller drive motor on the shaft base (
).
1
From the shaft and motor hardware service kit, select the
cable gland that fits your transducer cable:
• For a 4-pin transducer, select the cable gland with the
smaller hole.
• For an 8- or 12-pin transducer, select the cable gland with
the larger hole.
NOTE:
A cable gland without a hole is provided if you are not
installing a transducer or not routing the transducer cable
through the shaft.
2
Pull the transducer cable straight, and measure a 38 cm
(15 in.) from the where the cable enters the transducer.
3
Using a permanent marker, mark the measured location on
the cable .
4
Using the packet included in the shaft and motor hardware
service kit, apply grease completely to all surfaces of the
cable gland you selected to fit your transducer cable.
5
Place the cable gland at the marked location on the
transducer cable.
6
While keeping the cable gland aligned with the mark on the
transducer cable, gently pull the excess cable through the top
of the shaft until the cable gland fits into the hole on the shaft
base .
7
Using the packet included in the shaft and motor hardware
service kit, apply grease to the 25 mm (1 in.) O-ring on the
recessed nut on the transducer cable.
8
Place the recessed nut into the hole on the shaft base, and
tighten it using the included tool .
9
Tighten the recessed nut until it stops, then loosen it
1
/
14
of a
turn.
NOTE:
For reference, the notches inside the recessed nut
are centered
1
/
14
of a turn apart.
10
Route the transducer cable through the nose cone so it will fit
correctly onto the propeller drive motor.
11
Place the nose cone onto the propeller drive motor.
