INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the most unique products available today in
the marine industry, a device that is able to steer your kicker motor with just the touch of a
button. With proper installation and care, your
T-5
will provide you with years of trouble free
use and performance.
NOTE: The T-5 CANNOT be used if you have a main engine to trolling motor steer-
ing tie bar. The main engine tie bar must be disconnected.
Please take a few moments to review the information contained in this booklet to familiarize
yourself with the installation procedures of your new
T-5.
Installation is easy particularly
when you know each step ahead of time.
The T-5 is the newest addition to the Panther Electro-steer Line. The T-5 is a smaller, more
compact cable driven version of the T-4(T-4 stands for
T
hrough
T
he

ilt

ube). The T-5 will
mount vertically with your trolling motor’s tilt tube as opposed to the horizontal T-4 version.
We hope the smaller size T-5 and it’s vertical installation will increase the number of installa-
tion possibilities restricted by the distances between the Main Motor and Trolling Motor or the
Transom & Trolling Motor.
The T-5 installs much like our T4, with a few key differences noted here. Please read the en-
tire install guide before starting. Installation is easy particularly when you know each step
ahead of time.
1) IMPORTANT: The threaded cable
end must be extended a minimum
of 3 inches out of the T-5 Unit be-
fore installation. In addition the
threaded cable end must be in the
tilt tube before tightening. Failure
to do so may result in damage to
2) Use the tightening nut supplied (if
there is enough room for the nut) to
tighten the T-5 onto the tilt tube. If
you do not have enough room, use
the set-screw to tighten the
T-5 to the tilt tube. If you use the
tightening nut - tighten it up against
the T-5 to
hold the T-5 in place
.
