5.5 Wiring the Connections to the
Marine Cra Device
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
Before attempting to make any electrical
connections, ensure electrical power is OFF. Failure
to do so could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: SHOCK HAZARD
All wire connections must be secure and sealed to
protect from arcing. Failure to do so could result in
minor or moderate injury and property damage.
The instructions below are for all compatible steering
systems.
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Locate the appropriate existing wires on the marine
cra to complete the needed connections.
3. See the appropriate wiring instructions below for the
device the switch assembly will control:
– Wiring for engine trim connection:
Engine trim wiring consists of three conductors (1
red, 1 green, 1 blue) running together. Engine trim
wires are typically routed from the engine to the
side-mounted shi and throttle control.
– Wiring for jack plate connection:
Jack plate wires are typically found under the
dash. Refer to the manufacturer wiring diagrams
for the wire colors to properly configure your new
switch assembly.
– Wiring for horn connection:
Horn wires are typically found under the dash.
It may be necessary to use a jumper wire on
the switch for the horn to operate in both the
toggle-up and toggle-down positions. Refer to
manufacturer wiring diagrams for the wire colors
to properly configure your new switch assembly.
4. Feed the switch wires to the inside or underside
of the dash, according to the passageway option
chosen at installation.
5. Make the wire connections to the marine cra by
cutting into the marine cra’s trim, jack plate, or
horn’s wiring (as appropriate):
a. Cut only one wire at a time.
b. Strip both ends.
c. Use the provided butt connector and insert the
two stripped wires from step b into one end of the
butt connector and crimp.
d. Insert the appropriate color wire from the
assembly switch into the other end of the butt
connector and crimp.
e. If not using the provided butt connector, be sure
the butt connector you use will accept:
– Two 16-gauge wires on one end
– One 16-gauge wire on the other end
f. Repeat steps a–e (one wire at a time) for the
remaining trim, jack plate, or horn wires (as
appropriate).
6. When all wires are connected, reconnect the battery.
7. Test the installation and intended function. (See
“Testing the Installation” on page 12 for
instructions.)

12 EN
Final Adjustments PRO TRIM™ Single/Dual Bezel Switch Assembly
5.6 Testing the Installation
This section describes the proper procedure to test the
installation of the switch assembly.
1. When installed for control of engine trim or jack
plate operation, make sure the engine moves in the
direction you expect when the switch is activated.
– Push the lever up to make the engine tilt or move
upward.
– Push the lever down to make the engine tilt or
move downward.
2. When installed for horn operation, operate the
switch in both directions and check that the horn
functions.
3. If the switch assembly is not working properly,
perform the following checks:
a. Check the wire connections at the toggle switch.
b. Check the wire connections at the wire harness.
IGo to www.dometic.com to find technical support
in your area.
4. If applicable, check the functionality of the marine
cra’s original dash or control mounted trim switch
to ensure it is still working properly.
5. If all systems are working properly, make a final
inspection of the wire connections.
6. Wrap the wiring assembly with a quality electrical
tape (not provided) to keep connections clean and
secure.
6 Final Adjustments
This section describes the proper procedure for
reinstalling the steering wheel and making any final
adjustments to the switch assembly.
6.1 Reinstalling the Steering Wheel
Reinstall the steering wheel using the hardware removed
with the steering wheel. Refer to your steering system
and wheel manufacturer instructions to insure proper
installation of the steering components.
6.2 Adjusting the Lever Distance
IDometic recommends the driver operate the
switch assembly lever(s) for a period of time without
adjustment until they determine the most suitable
lever distance.
1. With the seat (and wheel position, if equipped with
tilt) adjusted properly, activate the switch from a
normal driving grip.
2. If the lever seems too close or too far from the
steering wheel rim, adjust by carefully bending
the bracket (see Figure 1) slightly in the required
direction to move the lever closer to or farther from
the rim of the steering wheel. Adjust to suit the
driver’s preference.
7 Disposal
MPlace the packaging material in the appropriate
recycling waste bins, whenever possible. Consult
a local recycling center or specialist dealer for
details about how to dispose of the product in
