Installing A Remote-Troll Stainless Steel Cable
(for cable-driven models, not the DirecGearTM Drive models)
1) Remove the Remote-Troll from the boat by undoing the two
bottom bolts and lifting the Remote-Troll from the mounting bracket.
The mounting bracket should be left on the boat.
2) Loosen eyebolts so that the nuts are just barely on.
3) Lay the Remote-Troll on a workbench with the wood (or the
black High Density Polyethylene) facing up.
4) Stand with the bottom of the Remote-Troll toward you.
5) From the right side, insert the cable inside of the aluminum
spacer.
6) Feed the cable down around the drum and up the left side until
it comes out. The cable should now be wrapped around the drum, with
the ends coming out between the two aluminum spacers.
7) Hold the first wrap on the left side against the motor mount
and begin the second wrap. By holding the left side, you will be
able to make the second wrap above (toward the motor) the first
wrap. Continue as with the first wrap.
8) Now hold both wraps against the mounting plate and make a
third wrap.
9) When you have completed the third wrap, put the right end over
the pulley and pull it down and attach it to the eyehbolt.
10) Put the left end over the left pulley and attach the spring to
it.
11) Pull the spring down and attach it to the eyehook. Using a
screwdriver helps to make the pulling easier.
12) Tighten the nuts on the eyehooks equally until the body of
the spring has spread to 3 5/8”. This will be enough tension for
most motors. If you find the cable slipping on the drum, add more
tension.
