Step Four:
Routing the power wire.
• If you wish to use your XM Radio with your boat’s ignition turned off and/or the
ignition key removed, then you must choose an “un-switched” connection point that
provides an uninterrupted 12-volt power supply. This will allow you to listen to your
XM Radio when anchored or drifting with the engine turned off.
• Determine a 12-volt power source location, such as the boat’s fuse/breaker power
distribution panel or other 12-volt connection point, within 10-ft (3-m) of the loca-
tion that you chose in Step One for your ProTechT water-resistant marine housing.
• Enclosed are spade, round, and “flag” connectors that will accommodate most types
of connections. Choose either of the lugs to fit a flat blade connection or a threaded
post connection, whichever is appropriate for your power source.
• With pliers or wire crimpers, tightly crimp the lug to the stripped end of the positive
wire (see Figure #7). This is the wire with the fuse holder (Type AGC Fast-Acting 3A
250V glass fuse) molded into the wire. The “+” or positive wire on the power cable
also has a white stripe on it.
• Do NOT connect the power wire to the power source at this time.
• Route the other end of the power wire to your ProTechT water-resistant marine hous-
ing location.
