Step Eight (Check hose fit)Check to see that the hose is free to move back and forth with motor. Tie wrap asnecessary to hold hose in place. See Fig. 18Step Nine (Hose Clamp)Place hose clamps over hose and fittings at cylinder end. Fig. 18-aStep Ten (Top off the system)Manually turn the motor back and forth several times. Air bubbles trapped in thetubing may cause the fluid level in the tank to surge when the tiller is moved fast.The more the tiller is cycled back and forth, the more air is purged from lines. Topoff the tank with fluid when the surge is reduced. Replace the tank plug. Remountthe pump unit following the instructions on page 10, making sure all screws aretight.Verify Proper InstallationPress the deck mount switch to turn the system on. Put the unit in AUTOmode. Press and hold the Straight Left Arrow button on the Remote. Thekicker will steer to the port. Press and hold the Straight Right Arrowbutton on the Remote and the kicker will steer to starboard. Turn the motorseveral times in each direction to verify that hose connections are tight andthat you have no binding of hoses or cables.Get in position to see the kicker carburetor and the throttle actuator you installed, then press and hold the Up Arrowbutton. The actuator should open the carburetor throttle. Press and hold the Down Arrow button. The actuator shouldrun the carburetor to idle. Pushing and releasing these buttons quickly moves the throttle by small amounts. Holdingthem down changes the throttle by large amounts. Move the throttle to mid-travel and then press the IDLE/RES button.The throttle should go to idle. Press the button again and the throttle should go back to the mid-travel position.!!!! You will need to calibrate the Compass of your Autopilot, and will need to tune theAutopilot to your boat and motor configuration. Please see page 33, adjusting your Autopilotfor Heading Hold operations on your Boat.Check to see that your GPS transmits NMEA 0183 messages $GPRMB (RMB),and $GPRMC (RMC) before you hookyour GPS to the autopilot. These are the messages the autopilot must receive in order to steer with the GPS. Your GPSNMEA output wires will usually be bundled with other conductors in the GPS cables. Look in your GPS manual forinstructions relating to NMEA output from the GPS to other devices. The GPS manual should identify two wires thatare named something like NMEA out (+) and NMEA out (-). Connect the NMEA out (+) to the red (+) and the NMEAout (-) to the white (-) conductors in the stub cable with the blue tip at the Sensor ball. You will need to strip some ofthe jacket from the blue tipped cable in order to get to the red and white conductors. 22 or 24 gage twisted pair wiring isrecommended for connecting this circuit. (See page 23 for more information on GPS.) You will need to calibrate yourcompass and Set North in order for GPS functions to work. See pages 23 & 3518GPS Connections
