MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
These instructions assume the control board has been completely removed and
the motor is in the fully deployed position.
This kit includes heat shrinks; use the heat shrinks for installation on
Riptide Ulterra Motors. The heat shrinks are not required on freshwater
installations.
CAUTION
Follow the wiring diagram carefully. The same type plug is used to connect
both the tilt motor and steering motor to the control board; reversing these
connections will damage the new board.
INSTALLATION
-
a. Place the control board onto the extrusion.
b. Reuse the two #10-24 screws that secured the previous board. Using a #2 Phillips Screwdriver install those screws through the base extrusion into the drilled and tapped holes in the transfer bar of the control board. It is easiest to start both screws prior to fully tightening either of them. -
c. Locate the cam sensor. It is the sensor with the gray wire loom (the other two are in black looms).
d. Route the sensor out of the control board area, under the tilt motor, through the tilt bracket, to its mounting location next to the cam magnet.
e. Using the #1 Phillips Screwdriver to reuse the two #4-40 screws that held the previous cam sensor in place. The sensor is installed with the writing facing up/toward the cam magnet. -
f. Locate the plunger sensor. Of the two sensors with the black wire loom the plunger sensor has the longer wires.
g. Use the #1 Phillips Screwdriver reuse the #4-24 screws that held the previous plunger sensor in the motor ramp.
h. The plunger sensor wire should be routed so it exits the board area behind the coil cord and is supported by the wire clamps on the left side of the motor.
i. Use the 3/16° Allen Wrench to install the left motor ramp and plunger assembly to the base extrusion. -
j. Route the tilt sensor so its wires exit the control board area behind the coil cord and the wires are supported by the rear wire clamp on the left side of the motor.
k. Using the #1 Phillips Screwdriver reuse the two #4-40 screws that secured the previous tilt sensor to secure the new tilt sensor to the base extrusion. -
For Riptide installations position the (4) 500 x 1” Heat Shrinks on the two motor wires and the two battery lead wires, the (2) 315 x 2.25” Heat Shrinks on the red and black Trim Housing brush leads, and the .472 x 2.25” Heat Shrink on the brown lead.
m. Install the lead wires and plug connections on the control board according to the wiring diagram below.
n. For Riptide installations use the heat gun to shrink the heat shrinks sealing the connections listed in step I. -
o. Position the power button in the center cover. The narrower end of the power button board assembly is captured by fingers on one end, line up the button and LEDs then push the board toward the cover until the large tab on the other end engages the edge of the board assembly.
p. Place the cover over the control board. Use the #2 Phillips Screwdriver to tighten the two screws that hold the center cover in place. -
q. Connect the motor power leads to a power source.
r. Press and hold the power button (about 5 seconds) until the status (red) and power (green) lights begin to flash (typically the red light will blink once and the green light will blink until the motor is powered off.
NOTE: If you do not get a continuously flashing green light the Trim Hausing is not “Learned”, Verify it is correctly installed, recheck that it is the correct control board for your motor, turn the motor off and repeat lena
s. When the trim housing is “Learned”, push and hold the power button until the motor turns off (about 3 seconds).
WARNING
During the next step the motor will make a series of automated moves. Keep hands and other body parts clear of any potential pinch points.
t. Reset the trim count. Press the power button 3 times in less than 2 seconds, the motor will trim up until it contacts the underside of the steering housing then trim back down 6”.
NOTE: If tne motor was manually moved to the deployed position you will need to “trick” the cam sensor. Hold the cam magnet directly centered on the cam sensor during the next several steps.
NOTE: At this point the motor has steered the lower unit to what it expects is the Park Position. If the motor is not steered to a point that it will stow properly, manually turn it to the park position prior to turning the motor back on. -
u. Complete the installation by using the 3/16” Allen Wrench to install the right motor rest, and #3 Phillips Screwdriver to install the sideplates.
