* Note! For each extra helm station (max 4 helm stations possible), add one control panel (A), one 6-pole Y-cable (C)
and one 6-pole extension cable (D).
** Note! If the boat does not have a separate fuse box accessible, Volvo Penta resetable 8A breaker may be used. 966689 is
not ignition proof and must therefore not be used in gasoline engine rooms.
*** Note! For the installation one 6-pole Y-cable (C) is always needed. Depending on installation type, there might be a need for
a 6-pole extension cable (D). The 6-pole cable on the Attitude control unit (H) is approx. 25 cm.
The cables have to be ordered separately.

AB Volvo Penta
Automatic Boat trim can of course be retro fitted to existing BTS installations. If the existing system is branded Volvo Penta, just
follow the guide above. If the existing system is branded QL Marine the following applies: The existing QL control unit must be
replaced, order therefore also 1 Control unit, part number 21546221. To be able to see the position of the interceptor blades in Auto
mode, control panel 21809318 is needed. So if that functionality is required, order also 1 control panel 21809318.
