PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

4. Place the upper GPS module into the trolling motor head as shown, with
the GPS cable exiting the module from below. Secure the upper GPS
module to the trolling motor head with two mounting screws. Push the
power wires to one side to ease installation of the GPS cable. Route the
GPS cable out of the trolling motor head, through the slot in the cable
grommet as shown.

NOTE: The cable grommet is molded to allow the GPS cable to be routed
under it.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the GPS module is installed with the cable exiting
the module from below. Verify that the orientation of the GPS module matches
the photo. GPS will not function if the module is installed upside down.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the mounting screws or use power tools to
tighten the screws.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

5. Place the cover onto the trolling motor head. Ensure that the cable
grommet is seated in the trolling motor head and that no wires are
pinched. Install the five screws that secure the cover to the trolling motor
head.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the screws or use power tools to tighten the
screws.

6. Extend the trolling motor column so that the coiled power cable is as long
as possible. Starting from the trolling motor head, wrap the coiled GPS
cable around each coil of the power cable until you reach the lower
mount. This will place the coiled GPS cable inside the coils of the power
cable.
