Actuator Wiring
•
KA Kits:
1.
KA Kits include actuators with 6’ (1.8m) extended cable and 20’ (6.1m) cable (W4
-20) to attach from
the actuators to the control switch (see Fig. 4). This cable is also available in longer lengths. Visit
www.lectrotab.com
for additional cable lengths listed under Products/Individual Parts and Accessories.
2.
KA Kits include a hardware kit, which contains a terminal strip and terminals to connect the actuator
cable to the 20’ (6.1m), 4
-
conductor, 14 AWG (2.08mm sq.) cable (see Fig. 4). The cut end of the 20’
(6.1m) cable may be routed starting where the control switch will be mounted. The 4 blue push-on
terminals will connect to the rocker switch.
3.
Mount the 4 lug terminal strip provided in a
high and dry location
well above bilge water and
protected from water above and within reach of each actuator cable.
4.
Within each actuator cable is a vent tube that must be connected to a
high and dry location
with the
tube facing downward to prevent water from entering. The vent tube maintains a positive pressure
inside the actuator.
5.
Crimp the fork terminals to the cut end of the black actuator cable and connect to the 4-lug terminal
strip per Fig. 4.
6.
Crimp the fork terminals to the cut end of the 4-conductor gray cable (W4-20) and attach to the 4-lug
terminal strip per Fig. 4.

XKA Kits:
1.
XKA Kits include actuators with 23’ (7m) of cable extended from the actuator. This cable will be routed
directly to the control switch without a connection point at the transom. Visit
www.lectrotab.com
for a
complete listing of trim tab kit contents.
Actuator Installation

FOR NEW INSTALLATION, USE
OUTERMOST MOUNTING HOLES.
FOR MOST BENNETT
RETROFITS, DRILL OUT
INNERMOST HOLES.
TO WIRE THROUGH THE BRACKET,
DRILL AN 11/32" HOLE THROUGH
THE TRANSOM. IF REPLACING
BENNETT, ALIGN BRACKET HOLE
WITH EXISTING HYDRAULIC LINE
HOLE (REFER TO RETROFITTING
SECTION).
