1. Identify the location where the foot throttle on/off switch will be installed. The foot throttle on/off switch should be located at
the helm within easy reach of the vessel's operator.
2. Use a hole saw to cut out a 25.4 mm (1.00 in.) hole. Ensure that the opening is free of sharp edges.
3. Use the mounting plate and a 0.125 in. drill bit to drill two pilot holes for the provided screws.
4. Secure the mounting plate and gasket to the panel with the two screws.
IMPORTANT: Do not cut the button harness or remove the harness pins from the connector.
5. Rotate the button so that it will pass through the mounting plate and pull the button and harness assembly through the
panel, gasket, and mounting plate.
6. Position the button in the mounting plate recess and snap the bezel into place.
7. Connect the harness connector to the foot throttle harness.
