Connecting an off switch

Other manufacturers’ drive units

If you are connecting another manufacturer’s drive unit, refer to the specifications (on page 45) for information on the course computer’s drive motor, drive clutch and drive solenoid terminals. Connect the drive unit to these terminals as necessary.

For more information, contact the drive unit manufacturer.

Connecting spool valves

If the drive has spool valves, connect them to the motor and solenoid terminals on the course computer as shown below. The course computer provides a negative ground for the spool valves even when it is switched off.

CAUTION:

Do NOT connect the solenoid return cables to boat’s negative ground, as this will bypass the current protection devices inside the course computer.
