STEP 1: LOCATE SITE FOR BATTERY SWITCH, FUSE,
CONTROLLER, WIRELESS RECEIVER AND BATTERIES
Find a dry location(Components are not waterproof) inside the boat for the
battery switch, fuse, motor controller and batteries as close to the cable entry point
as possible. Keep the total cable run from the battery to motor controller to a
maximum of 20ft. (4.5m) using the recommended cable gauge below. The fuse
must be accessible so you can easily check system voltage and change the fuse if
necessary.
Recommended cable gauge for connecting motor controller to thruster battery bank:
STEP 2: CUT BATTERY CABLE TO LENGTH
If more than one battery is required, batteries must be arranged and connected in
series or parallel as required. See Connecting 12v Batteries in Parallel to Boost CCA
on page 13 and 24 Volt Batteries on page 16 for more details.
Cut two lengths of marine battery cable of suitable length to reach from batteries to
controller. Note that one cable may need to be longer than the other to
accommodate the location of the battery terminals.
