• Drill pilot holes. NOTE: do not drill through hull, ensure that strainer is mounted to additional
board or bulkhead (Fig 5).
• Use 19mm (¾") smooth bore reinforced hose to connect to the strainer with hose clips (Fig 6).
• Secure cable by screwing 'P' clamp to bulkhead ensuring it is located approx. 100 mm (4") from
strainer outlet (Fig 4).
11.iv Electrical Wiring
• For installation use pre-wired Deutsch® connectors (attached).
• If you are not familiar with applicable electrical standards, ensure that the unit is installed by a
qualified electrician/ technician.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Wiring must comply with applicable electrical standards and include a
properly rated fuse or circuit breaker. Improper wiring can cause a fire resulting in injury or death.
NOTE Switch off the power prior to making connections. Suggested wiring information is given as a
guide only. For full information, refer to the USCG, ABYC and ISO regulations for marine applications
and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.
Connect Power Cables
The polarity is indicated by coloured cable (Positive = red, Negative = black).
The white wire can be connected to a running light to indicate when the system is in use and / or as
a manual override switch.
NOTE The pump is protected against reverse polarity connection (the inline fuse will blow).
NOTE: Undersized wire in the circuit before the pump will reduce voltage when the pump is under
load, thus giving poor performance and potential motor failure.
•
Ensure all power cables installed are at least the minimum wire size - 1.5mm² (16AWG)
•
To control the pump, an isolator switch must be fitted between the positive live terminal on
the battery and the positive lead on the pump (See section 11 v).
WARNING Ensure that there are no loops of electrical cable that could be a hazard.
