snap into holes.
9.iii Plumbing
IMPORTANT: To prevent airlock, hose must rise continually upward to the thru-hull
connector with no dips or sharp bends. Hose support clips should be used at regular
intervals where necessary.
• Orientate the pump outlet for a direct path to the hull connector ensuring an
unobstructed hose path.
• Secure all connections with hose clamps.
• If no thru-hull connector exists, install at 12" (25mm) minimum height above
water line. Apply marine sealant around thru-hull flanges on interior and exterior
of hull.
9.iv Electrical Wiring
Ensure all wire connections are at the highest level above water. Use marine grade
wire connectors only and 16 AWG tinned
copper wire. Waterproof all connections
with suitable materials (see figure 3).
• Connect positive (+) brown wire to
switch.
• Connect negative (-) black wire to
ground.
• Install fuse holder within 72" (183cm)
of the positive (+) battery terminal.
• To test system, feed water into the
pump. If flow rate appears low, ensure wires are connected properly:
Brown to positive (switch)
NOTE - Reversed wiring reduces performance and can cause pump failure.
• If you are not familiar with applicable electrical standards, ensure that the unit is
installed by a qualified electrician/ technician.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Wiring must comply with applicable electrical standards and
include a properly rated fuse or circuit breaker. Improper wiring can cause a fire
resulting in injury or death.
NOTE Switch off the power prior to making connections. Suggested wiring information
is given as a guide only. For full information, refer to the USCG, ABYC and ISO
regulations for marine applications and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.
