SeaStar i6800 is an electromechanical system that replaces a
traditional cable-operated engine remote control with an electronic
control. Shift and throttle settings are sent over a serial data network
to electro-mechanical actuators, where they are converted to cable
motion. The elimination of mechanical cables to the control head
simplifies multi-station installations, especially when a station is
installed onto a flybridge or tower that is removed for shipping. The
system supports the installation of up to three control heads.
The i6800 system consists of the major components listed below.
CAN Network
CAN (controller area network) is a serial network protocol that is
widely used in marine and automotive control systems. Each device
(node) on the network can send and receive data using specially
formatted messages. The ability to reliably communicate data between
devices is what enables the functionality of i6800.
i6800 implements the high-speed CAN protocol using DeviceNet
harnesses and connectors. We refer to the network as CAN2 in the
documentation to distinguish it from other CAN protocols used on
SeaStar products.
Control Head
The control head looks much like a conventional mechanical remote
control, but it is an electromechanical device that converts lever
position into digital messages that are sent over CAN2 to the shift
and throttle actuators. The control head features adjustable lever
feel, status lights, a synchronous trim switch (optional), and control
buttons for added functionality.
Shift and Throttle Actuators
The actuators are electromechanical devices that receive digital
commands on the CAN2 network and convert these commands into
movement of a mechanical cable for gear selection and throttle
control. The actuators are universal, and are easily setup for their
specific application using the CANtrak display tool. They can also
provide the start-in-gear protection required by the U.S. Coast Guard.

3.1 Important Information/Technical
Support Contact
3.0 INSTALLATION
Mount the control head on the dash in an area which will allow for
convenient access during use. Whenever possible, it should be
mounted in a location to minimize water spray. Ensure that the control
handle(s) can be moved throughout the complete range of motion in
both forward and reverse without interference. ABYC standard P-14
calls for a minimum of 2 1/2" (64 mm) clearance between the
control lever and the steering wheel rim under all possible lever and
wheel positions.
The control head requires one of the dash cutout templates in
Appendix A.
Control Head Trim Switch Connection (Optional)
The control head includes a single trim/tilt switch on the end of the
port handle. This switch can be wired to provide synchronous trim/
tilt control of all engines. If independent trim/tilt is desired use tilt/
trim kit HA5491 (for twin engine configurations) and connect the
wiring as shown in Figure 3-1.

Location, Identification & Mounting
• Actuators should be mounted to allow for the shortest, straightest,
most direct mechanical cable run. Check the information included
with your cables and note the minimum bend radius.
• Actuators should be mounted in as dry of a location as possible.
• The actuators will require power and network connections and may
require start-in-gear protection wiring connections.
• Shift and Throttle cables require adequate clearance where they exit
the actuators and enter the engines and should avoid tight bends.
• Actuators should be mounted where they can be accessed for
manual operation if required and where manual override instruction
decals are clearly visible.
All actuators are configured identically from the factory so they can be
used interchangeably during installation. Once an actuator’s function
has been decided, apply labels from the label sheet provided to
identify its type (shift vs. throttle) and side (port vs. starboard, if
applicable), then record the serial numbers in Table 3-1 below. (See
figure 4-11 for location of serial number.) These serial numbers will be
used when the actuators are configured electronically in Section 4.2.
3.3 Installing the Actuators
3.3.1
3.3.2
NOTICE
Start-In-Gear Protection
The US Coast Guard requires start-in-gear protection. If your engine
does not have this feature, this control system will provide start-in-
gear protection meeting U.S.C.G requirements of 33CFR part 183,
sub part L.
The shift actuators contain a switch that is continuous electrically
when the actuator is in neutral position and open circuit when in gear
position. This switch may be used to interrupt the ignition start wire
to the engine as start-in-gear protection if required. See Section
3.3.5 for actuator wire identification.
The label sheet also contains labels to identify the correct override knob
direction. These will be applied when the actuators are configured in
Section 4.2.
There are two ways to mount the actuators:
1. Three bolts (M8 x 1.25 x 440 mm) can be used for rear mount
applications (Bolt heads behind the mounting panel).
2. Three screws and washers can be used for front mount
applications (#12 MAX).
You may rough in the mechanical cables but do not connect them
to the actuators at this point.

Actuator Power Connections
The shift and throttle actuators for each engine are paired together
and connected with a shared CE20425 power harness. Each CE20425
harness includes two 4-pin power connections, one for shift and one
for the throttle. It is not important which connector is connected to
the shift actuator and which is connected to the throttle. Refer to
Figure 3-4.
PROPERLY SECURE ALL HARNESSES ON BOTH SIDES OF HARNESS
CONNECTORS AND SPLICES. IMPROPER STRAIN RELIEF CAN
RESULT IN MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE CONNECTION OR, IN
SOME CASES, THE WATERTIGHTNESS OF THE CONNECTOR. LOCATE
ALL SPLICES AND CONNECTORS IN DRY AREAS.
1. Connect the 4-pin connectors to the mating connector on the
shift and throttle actuators.
2. Connect the black and green wires to ground.
3. Connect the red wire through a 25 amp circuit breaker to a
positive power source; preferably direct to the vessel’s batteries
or to a battery switch.
Actuator Ignition Connections
The actuator power harness CE20425 has a single white ignition
sensing (and CAN power) wire which must be connected to an ignition
source that is live when the corresponding engine is in the on position.
The white wire delivers the “wake” signal to each pair of actuators
and they will not function without the wire connected. As such the
integrity of the connection is critical to the safe operation of the
system. Please note the following:
• Whenever possible, make your splice connections in dry areas of
the vessel. If you must splice in a potentially wet area, always secure
the wires in a way that keeps the splice out of pooling water.
• Use sealed, heat-shrink butt splices, such as Molex Perma-Seal,
or a soldered connection with heat-shrink tubing. Always follow the
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
• Secure the wiring on both sides of the splice so that there is no
strain on the splice connection.
• Choose a route for the wires that minimizes exposure to water,
high temperatures, and mechanical damage.
On most vessels you will have one of two options for an ignition source:
a single ignition source wire, or you will have to splice into an existing
ignition wire.

Figure 3-5 and figure 3-6 show the CAN2 network wiring for single
and dual station applications. All tees must be secured using both
screw holes, and the cable drops at each tee must be appropriately
secured and strain-relieved to prevent any pull on the tees. See
figure 3-7 for proper tee installation example.
The CAN2 network must contain two, and only two, terminating
resistors. One terminator should be installed at each end of the
network backbone.
