Step 5 - Feed the taped end of the tubing through the 3/4" hole in transom. Apply sealant on the mounting surface of the actuators and around the brass fitting. Secure the actuator upper mounts to transom with #14 x 1-1/2 " screws. (See Pictures 6 and 7)

Step 6 - Install Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) in a convenient location with a dry environment. Important: The HPU must be mounted in a dry enough location to avoid submersion and drenching. Allow some space above the HPU so that it may be slid into its mounting bracket (about 3"). Lay out upper holes on HPU mounting bracket 4-5/8" apart and start #10 x 1" screws using 5/32" pilot holes. Then drill 5/32" pilot holes for the lower screws and mounting bracket. Fill HPU reservoir to full line using any type of automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Slide HPU into bracket. (See Pictures 8 and 9).

Step 7 - Connect black HPU ground wire to any convenient ground.
Step 8 - Run hydraulic tubing along hullside or
bulkheads to HPU. Note: Make port and starboard tubing runs as equal as possible.
When facing HPU, the brass fitting on the left side of the pump face connects with
tubing from the port actuator, and the fitting on the right connects to the starboard
actuator. These fittings are marked "P" and "S" for port and
starboard. To connect tubing to the pump, insert tubing in the fitting and
tighten nut finger tight, then one full turn with a 1/2" wrench. NO MORE.
Use tube bending clips at desired 90 degree bends in tubing to prevent kinking.
Step 9 - Choose a spot on at your helm to mount the Rocker Switch
Control. Using the included plastic drill guide template, drill four 3/16"
holes and follow with a 1-1/8" diameter hole saw. (See pictures 10 and 11).
These holes must be 1-1/16" on center in both directions. The Rocker
Switch Control will fit into this hole. We strongly suggest that this first be tried
on a practice piece of wood.
An alternate way to mount your control is to cut a rectangular hole with rounded (1/2" radius) corners 1-3/4" W x 2-1/8" H. Note that the control switch attaches to the corners, so be careful not to cut away the mounting area.

Step 10 - Pull the wire harness up through the hole and attach it to the back of the switch with the ring connectors enclosed. There are two screws per letter; the wire can be attached to either screw fastening on the brass strip marked with the first letter of the color of the wire* (see Figure 5 and Picture 12).

*Note:
Blue wire = Pump pressure (trim tabs down)
Yellow wire = Pump retract (trim tabs up)
Red wire = Port valve
Green wire = Starboard valve
Step 11 - Mark the four locations for the 7/64" pilot holes and drill each (see Figure 5). (Test #8 screw. Open hole to 1/8" if necessary). Apply sealant compound around underside of switch plate assembly being careful not to block weep holes.
Step 12 - Place the wire harness and switch back in the hole and mount the switch plate assembly with the enclosed #8 screws. Be sure the switch is properly seated and snap bezel onto switch plate assembly. Note: Bezel will secure completely when BOW DOWN is at the top and the switch plate assembly is mounted with top and bottom in proper position. (See Picture 13)

Step 13 - Connect fused (20 amp) orange power lead from Rocker Switch to 12 volt power source.
Step 14 - Using the Rocker Switch
Control, press the "Bow Down" position for 15 seconds, then "Bow Up"
for 15-20 seconds. Repeat 3 times. This will purge any air from the system.
No bleeding is necessary.
Step 15 - Place both trim tabs in the "full down" position and
check the hydraulic system for leaks. Bring the tabs to the full up position and
check fluid level. Add ATF if necessary.
