9. Slip shrink tubing over end and use heat
gun to cover end and main cable.
IMPORTANT! Be careful not to damage
cover of Reflex cable.
10. If assembling away from the boat,
lay cable out straight. Install tack swivel
terminal on drive unit. Install the threaded
adapter.
IMPORTANT! Slide the heat-shrink tubing
onto the cable before slipping the cable
into the thimble.
Slip the cable into the
thimble and check to make sure the unit
is shorter than the (FH) full-hoist length
by the amount shown in the chart. Clamp
cable and use hacksaw to cut the cable
leaving a tail of:
Unit 1 - 90 mm (3.5")
Unit 2 - 100 mm (4")
Tip: Leave a longer tail if you are not
sure about measuerments. See following
pages on determining length at boat.
