EIC Installation Overview
nipple into actuator upper hinge. Tighten nipple hand tight. Then, with vise grips, tighten two full
turns … NO MORE. Cover end of pipe nipple with masking tape. If you have the short through-
transom fitting, using a 7/16" wrench, screw it in until the fitting is snug; the shoulder of the
fitting will just touch the plastic of the upper hinge.
Step 7 - Carefully feed Sensor Wire through 5/16" hole. Apply sealant to actuator upper hinge
surface around pipe nipple, screw holes, and cable. Secure actuator upper hinge to transom with
mounting screws. Grasp cylinder body with both hands and tighten (clockwise) securely.
Step 8 - Inside transom, remove masking tape from pipe nipples. Carefully wrap Teflon tape
around male threads of pipe nipples. Holding pipe nipples with vise grips (to prevent them from
turning) re-secure 90 degree elbows. Re-attach hydraulic tubing, tightening nut finger tight.
Snug nut with 1/2" wrench. do not over-tighten. Note: If you have the short through-transom
fittings, omit this step. Repeat for other side. Run Red and Green Sensor Wires to where you plan
to mount the EIC Module.
Step 9 - Mounting the EIC display
Using the template on the last page, mark the location for your EIC Display and locate the centers
of the holes. Use a 2" hole-saw to cut the center hole and 3/16" drill for the four mounting stud
holes. Use a small bead of sealant around the perimeter of the display to seal. Plug the EIC Harness
(blue cable) into the back of the EIC Display. Use the 4 nylon thumb nuts to secure the display (use
care to avoid over-tightening).
