4. Examine the *boats internal wiring. Make sure the wire is in good condition, a clean and bright copper color. If necessary, cut back until clean
wire is found.
5. Test your new SmartPlug for proper fit and alignment of screw holes. (On some installations, you may have to modify the hole in your *boat to
accept the new plug. Please use the enclosed rear mounting gasket as template if necessary.

8. Back off the wire terminal screw clamps on the back of the inlet housing. Twist bare copper wires into a tight and straight formation. Insert the
bare wires into the corresponding color-coded terminals. Insert wire until insulation butts up against the plastic of the internal connection. Tighten
the screw clamp after each wire is inserted. Make certain there is no insulation inside the terminal clamp.
