SEAVIEW SVEHB1 Electrically Acuated Hinge

NOTE
It is strongly advised that all installations are carried out by an authorized installer who possesses the necessary expertise and experience in marine equipment installation. Furthermore, before the final installation process, we recommend performing a dry fit assembly of all components. This entails fitting the components in their designated positions on the boat without permanently affixing them. This step allows for careful assessment of compatibility, alignment, and any potential adjustments that may be required before proceeding with the actual installation.

PARTS INCLUDED

TOOLS NEEDED

Determine the mounting location. Ideally on the forward or aft edge of the mounting surface. You can mount this further from the edge, just make sure the mast, etc. will not hit the mounting surface!
Remove the four bolts to remove the access panel. Power the actuator to open the hinge plate.
Tip: You can use a cordless drill battery to open the hinge. Remove the actuator to expose the base mounting holes. Also, remove the cable seal lids to expose the center hole.
Tip: Take a picture of how this is installed to refer back.
Mark the 8 bolt holes to drill, along with the center of each cable hole.
Drill the 8 bolt holes using the 5/16″ drill bit.
Using a 2” hole saw, cut two holes for the cables.
Note: These locations are the center of each cable seal location.
Place the hinge onto the mounting surface. Make sure to line up all the bolt holes. Insert the eight 5/16″ bolts through the top of the hinge base plate.
Note: Make sure the bolt length is long enough to get through the mounting surface. We recommend a backing plate or oversized washers.
Insert 4 or 6 (depending on the Seaview mount used) nylon shoulder washers and 3/8″ bolts through the underside of the hinge plate.
Fix the Seaview mount to the hinge plate. The bolts should enter the Seaview mount base from the bottom. Next insert the nylon shoulder washer, followed by the nylon nut to secure it.
Route electronics cables through the base of the Seaview mount and hinge plate.
Tip: Cables could be strain-relieved at the safety strap mounting point.
Route cables through cable seals as needed. Cable seal instructions are found at the end of these instructions.
Re-install the actuator to its original position.
Route actuator cables through one of the cable seals.
For the actuator wiring and detailed information refer to this link:

For any LINAK actuator questions please call 502-253-5595 To control the actuator a double pole double throw switch is recommended (any DPDT switch on the market will work). One suggestion is the Control Rocker Switch by LINAK https://www.linakthirdparty.com/products/controls/control-rocker-switch/

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

It is not necessary to dry fit if using drill tubes. Dry fit is recommended if using a drill bit to securely hold the rubber in place.
Make sure that you do not drill within 1/8” (3.2mm) from the edge of the tapered plug.
A drill tube is recommended. However, if using a drill bit, a slightly larger drill bit is needed for drilling the rubber.
Each cable seal will work with multiple cables. Make sure each cable has its own hole and there is at least .125” of rubber between each hole.
Place the plastic base onto the rubber base gasket. Be sure to line up the four screw holes.
Drill pilot holes and secure the base. Apply marine sealant to the threads of the screws (optional).
Insert the rubber-tapered plug into the base.
Line up the Cable Seal cover with the four holes in the plastic base and screw the bolts in with a 2.5mm wrench, compressing the rubber plug.
Measure your cable diameter and select the appropriate drill tube provided. Cable diameter +.01/-.03
Take one of the four drill tubes (included with the Cable Seal). Double-check to make sure the tube is the right diameter for your installation.
Insert the drill tube into the drill motor, and leave enough length to get through the tapered plug.
Apply a small amount of soapy water to the tube and slowly drill the rubber plug.
If using a drill bit, the cover should be securely tightened to help hold the rubber while drilling. The drill bit should be run repeatedly through the rubber.
Remove the four screws using a 2.5 mm allen wrench.
Remove the Cable Seal cover and tapered plug.
Using a sharp razor blade or knife, cut the tapered plug from the cable hole outward.
Slide the Cable Seal cover over the electronic cable.
Wrap the tapered plug around the electronic cable.
Insert the electronic cable and tapered plug into the plastic base.
Slide the Cable Seal cover onto the plastic base making sure that all four bolt holes line up.
Apply marine sealant (optional) to the four allen head screws and tighten.
