3.Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and use it as a guide to mark the two escutcheon plate mounting holes. Remove the plate, drill two 9/64" diameter x 5/8" deep holes, and then fill both holes with marine-grade silicone sealant. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and attach with two #8 x 5/8" wood screws. Hand tighten only!

4.Route and secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom; drill one 9/64" diameter x 5/8" deep hole, then fill hole with marine-grade silicone sealant, then attach the cable clamp using a #8 x 5/8" screw. Hand tighten only!

NOTE: If there is excess cable that needs to be gathered at one location (as shown in the illustration), dress the cable routed from both directions so that a single loop is left extending from the storagelocation.Doublingthe cable up from this point,form the cable into a coil. Storing excess cable using this method can reduce electronicinterference(Figure 26).

5.Plug the cable connector back into the control head. The slots are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder.

Your control head is now ready for operation.
