8. Complete a hardover to hardover check:
•
Slowly turn the steering system from hardover to hardover.
•
Make sure that the steering system operates freely and that the
drive unit and drive cable make no contact with any part of
the engine or boat.
Mounting in a restricted area
If an obstruction prevents you from installing the universal I/O drive
unit as supplied, rotate the girdle tube relative to the drive cable:
1. Loosen the grub-screws at the end of the girdle tube
2. Rotate the drive cable as required.
3. Remove the grub-screws one at a time, put thread-locking
compound on the thread, then replace and tighten the grub-screw.
4. Complete another hardover to hardover check.
3. Electrical connections
WARNING: Electrical safety
Make sure the power supply is switched off before you make any
electrical connections.
When you have fitted the I/O drive to the steering system, connect it
to the course computer as follows:
1. Plug in the power cable (supplied) into the socket on the drive
unit. Lock the connector in place by turning the locking ring
clockwise.
2. Route the cable to the course computer, taking into account the
EMC installation guidelines (see page 5).
3. Connect the motor cables (thicker blue and brown cables) and the
clutch cables (thinner red and black cables) to the connections on
the course computer as shown in Figure 4.
4. Secure the cable close to the I/O drive unit, making sure there is
enough free length to allow the drive unit to move.
5. Complete another hardover check: use the steering wheel to move
the rudder from hardover to hardover, and check that the cable
does not catch on any part of the boat or its fittings.
