Cable Installation
4. Secure the remaining anchor points with cable ties as you route the cables up
the trolling motor shaft.
Depending on your installation configuration and motor’s shaft length, you
may not need all five anchor points.
5. Route the rest of the cables to the side of the trolling motor, over the bow, to
the chosen connection locations in
Section 1: Prepare for Installation
. Leave
sufficient slack in the cables to allow for full movement of the trolling motor
during normal operation (see
Routing the Cables
).
Routing the Cables
CAUTION!
Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be
submerged in water or flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area,
it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the inside of the connectors to
prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be purchased separately from a general
hardware or automotive store.
NOTE:
The cables should be routed through an established routing system
on the boat, in an area with minimal interference. Inspect the selected route
carefully to ensure that there are no sharp edges, obstacles, or obstructions that
may damage the cables.
Avoid pinch points created by stowing or deploying
the trolling motor
.
