SECTION 2

BEFORE INSTALLING THE AUTO TAB CONTROL, YOU MUST

CHECK THE TRIM TAB SYSTEM INSTALLATION

The ATC system interfaces with the boat’s trim tab system, and automatically

operates the trim tab Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). Therefore before you install

and operate the ATC system it is critical you confirm that the HPU wiring and

hydraulic tubing is connected EXACTLY as described in items 1 and 2 below.

1. Hydraulic Tubing:

Tubing from the port actuator must be connected to the fitting marked

“P” (front left) on the HPU.

Tubing from the starboard actuator must be connected to the fitting

marked “S” (front right) on the HPU.

THE TUBING MUST

NOT

BE REVERSED

2. Helm Control Wiring:

Verify that the four-color wire harness leading to

the back of the trim tab helm control is wired as follows.

For Single Lever and Rocker Switch Controls

Notice the indented letters on the back of the control,

make sure connections are as follows:

• Red wire connects to “R”

• Green wire connects to “G”

• Blue wire connects to “B”

• Yellow wire connects to “Y”

For Racing Type Control

Facing the control, with the word BOW at the top,

turn the control over to the right (or left) and

inspect the control to ensure the wiring is

connected as follows:

• The blue wire is connected to the top two terminals

• The red wire is connected to the two left terminals

• The yellow wire is connected to the two bottom

terminals

• The green wire is connected to the two right

terminals
