Wiring Instructions and Installation
WARNING:
Batteries contain a large amount of potential electrical energy.
Extreme care must be used when working with batteries. An improper
connection to a battery can release enough energy to cause severe
injury or re.
PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION.
Required for Installation and NOT included with this kit:
30 amp fuse with fuse holder•
Overcurrent Protection
The wiring between the battery and the receptacle must have proper
overcurrent protection in the form of an inline 30-amp fuse. Position the
overcurrent protection within 7” of the battery.
Wire Gauge
Use good quality marine grade tinned electrical wire to bring power to your
downrigger. To determine the correct gauge of wire, measure the “wire run
length” which is the distance from the positive (+) power source connection,
to your downrigger and back to the negative (-) power source connection.
For wire run lengths up to 25 feet use minimum 12 Ga. wire, for runs of 25
– 40 feet use 10 Ga. wire. Wire smaller than the recommended gauge will
not carry sufcient power to operate your downrigger at its rated speed and
power, it will run noticeably slower.
The downrigger should always be unplugged when not in use.
