SWITCH TO BATTERY
Make sure all crimps/
connections can withstand
at least 25 pounds of pullout
force. Failure to make strong enough crimps
between wire connectors and wires could
create a fire hazard.
1. Measure and cut 8-gauge red and black
wire to run from switch to battery. Allow
some slack to prevent connections
being too short leaving enough room to
crimp end of wire. Install wire in boat
before crimping any connections. Use
cable ties to secure wiring to boat.
2. When running wire from switch to
battery, be sure to keep wire away from
sources of intense heat or areas where
insulation of wire could be worn away.
3. After wire is installed and secured, make
remaining switch connections .
4. Make two more conversion wires
to attach battery wiring to switch by
following these steps:
a. This switch wire is for the positive
(red) lead to battery.
b. Cut a 1 foot section of 12-gauge red
wire and crimp a 5/16” ring terminal
to one end.
c. Crimp an insulated female
disconnect to other end.
d. Crimp a 5/16” ring terminal to 8-
gauge red wire coming from battery.
e. Using a 1/4”-20 x 1/2” screw,
connect 8-gauge red wire coming
from battery to ring terminal on red
switch wire. Tighten a 1/4”-20 nut
to secure ring terminals together.
Protect junction by placing a 1”
diameter piece of heat shrink tubing
over connection and applying heat
until tubing is secure.
f. Plug insulated female disconnect
on end of red switch wire to rocker
switch on terminal marked “D”.
g. To construct second switch wire and
make connection to switch, cut a 1
foot section of 12-gauge black wire
and crimp a 5/16” ring terminal to
one end.
h. Crimp an insulated female
disconnect to other end.
i. Crimp a 5/16” ring terminal to
8- gauge black wire coming from
battery.
j. Using a 1/4”-20 x 1/2” screw,
connect 8-gauge black wire coming
from battery to ring terminal on
black switch wire. Tighten a 1/4”-
20 nut to secure ring terminals
together. Protect junction by
placing a 1” diameter piece of heat
shrink tubing over connection and
applying heat until tubing is secure.
k. Plug insulated female disconnect on
end of black switch wire to rocker
switch on terminal marked “C”.
BATTERY CONNECTIONS
1. Crimp a 5/16” ring terminal to end of
8-gauge red and black wire coming
from switch.
2. Create a jumper to connect circuit
breaker to battery by cutting a 1
foot piece of 8-gauge red wire and
crimping a 5/16” ring terminal to each
end.
3. Assemble circuit breaker to jumper by
placing ring terminal onto post marked
“bat” and secure with nut on circuit
breaker
4. Assemble circuit breaker to switch by
attaching remaining 8-gauge wire to
post on circuit breaker marked
“aux.”
5. Protect connection by placing a piece
of 2” diameter heat shrink tubing over
connection and applying heat until
tubing is secure.
6. Connect 8-gauge black wire from
switch to negative (-) battery terminal.
7. Connect 8-gauge black wire from
switch to negative (+) battery terminal.
8. Snap control switch into switch plate
and proceed to unit test instructions.
UNIT TEST
1. With no rope or chain in gypsy, press
switch in upward position. If wiring to
switch terminals is correct, gypsy will
spin counterclockwise.
2. If gypsy does not turn, but motor runs,
switch is incorrectly wired.
3. To correct, exchange wires at terminals
A and B on switch.
This product
requires use of a
closed loop davit or bow roller. The davit
or bow roller must be installed on boat
prior to installing product to ensure proper
performance.
