Ignition Source
The actuator harness contains a violet (purple) ignition lead. Connect
this to the ignition switch for the engine the actuator is controlling.
The wire should have 12VDC when the engine is switched on.

Start-in-Gear Protection
The US Coast Guard requires start-in-gear protection to prevent an
engine from starting when forward or reverse gear is engaged. If
your engine doesn’t already have this feature, the i7700 actuator
can provide start-ingear protection that meets the requirements of
33CFR part 183, subpart L.
If your engine already has start-in-gear protection it is recommended
to connect the i7700 actuator's start-in-gear protection switch for
redundancy. This will also provide a redundant ignition source to the
actuator in the event of an ignition source failure.
To use the start-in-gear protection intercept the start wire between
the ignition switch and the engine start solenoid and connect the
actuator switch leads as follows:
Yellow: Connect to ignition switch
Yellow with red tracer: connect to engine start solenoid.
The polarity of the start-in-gear protection connections is important.
Do not reverse the leads.
Table 3-2 lists the ignition start system wire colors typically used
by the major outboard manufacturers. This table is a guide only;
always consult the manufacturer’s documentation for correct wire
identification.
Cap and tie back the leads if you do not need to use the actuator’s
start-in-gear protection.
