Installing the Cable Gland and Recessed Nut

Before you can install the cable gland and recessed nut, you must install the propeller drive motor on the shaft base (Installing the Propeller Drive Motor).

  1. From the shaft and motor hardware service kit, select a new cable gland that fits your transducer cable:
    • For a 4-pin transducer, select the cable gland with the smaller hole.

    • For an 8- or 12-pin transducer, select the cable gland with the larger hole.

    NOTE: A cable gland without a hole is provided if you are not installing a transducer or not routing the transducer cable through the shaft.
  2. Measure 20 cm (8 in.) from the point the transducer cable enters the transducer, and mark the transducer cable using a permanent marker.
  3. Using the packet included in the shaft and motor hardware service kit, apply grease completely to all surfaces of the cable gland you selected to fit your transducer cable.
  4. Place the cable gland Callout number 1 at the marked location on the transducer cable.

  5. While keeping the cable gland aligned with the mark on the transducer cable, gently pull the excess cable through the top of the shaft until the cable gland fits into the hole on the shaft base.
  6. Using the packet included in the shaft and motor hardware service kit, apply grease to the 25 mm (1 in.) O-ring on the recessed nut Callout number 2 on the transducer cable.
  7. Place the recessed nut into the hole on the shaft base.
  8. Using the spanner wrench, tighten the recessed nut until it stops.
