Ignition Connection
A minimum wire gauge of 16AWG is recommended for the ignition
trigger wire. Length of this wire is not critical.
1 Insert ignition wire through the small strain relief fitting on the
electrical enclosure (see figure 11).
2 Connect the ignition wire with a #8 ring connector to the IGN
post inside the electrical box. Torque to 15in-lbs (see figure 11).
3 Using a crescent wrench, tighten the strain relief fitting until a
seal is formed with the wire. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
4 Replace the cover on the electronics box with the 6 Phillips head
screws removed in step 2.1-1.

Autopilot Connections
When extending wire leads, marine best practices must be
followed. Solder and shrink wrap are highly recommended.
Appropriately sized and properly installed crimp connections with
shrink wrap protection are also acceptable. A minimum of 12AWG
wiring should be used for any extensions.
1 The Red (+) and Black (-) leads from the autopilot motor should
be connected to your autopilot controller as specified in your
autopilot controller documentation.
NOTE: The polarity of the autopilot connections may need to be
reversed for correct operation in some installations.
Consult autopilot manufacturer’s documentation for full operation
instructions, EMC guidelines, etc.
