Installation Instructions for Model 2000: Download PDF
 

Must have good mechanical skills or please have professionally installed.

​

This model is for boats with one battery or battery pack used for starting and all electrical loads Boats with both a start battery and house battery should use Model 3000.

 

The mounting location of the E-TRAK assembly should be  close to the batteries keeping

the added battery to contactor cable as short as possible. This will keep the cable  voltage drop to a minimum.

 

Find a surface you can mount the unit to. Do not drill into outer hull.  Check first before drilling.

 

  1. ​Pre drill the holes for the mounting screws use a 3/32" drill bit 3/8 of a inch deep.

  2. Remove the ground cable from battery.

  3. Remove positive cable from battery and connect to the contactor post marked "A2-" (left side post in photo). This will require changing the cable end to match the contactor post.

  4. Connect new battry cable between post marked "+A1" (right side post in photo) and positive terminal on battery.

  5. Connect yellow wire to the ignition switch (must be hot in the run and start position of switch).

  6. Install dash light between an available ground point and the Orange wire from E-Trak Marine.

  7. Reinstall ground cable to battery and the black ground wire from E-Trak Marine.
    Red and Green lights on E-Trak will blink and then go into operation.Green light will continue to flash every 4 seconds when key is OFF.

Must have good mechanical skills or please have professionally installed.

​

Model 3000 is for boats with both start and house batteries.

​

The start battery is only for starting. The house battery is for all electrical loads.

 

E-Trak Marine protects the start battery while electrical loads are draining the house battery Boats with only one battery or battery pack should use Model 3000.

 

The mounting location of the E-TRAK assembly should be mounted close to the batteries keeping the added battery cables as short as possible. This will keep the cable  voltage drops  to a minimum.

 

Find a surface you can mount the unit to. Do not drill into outer hull.  Check first before drilling.

​

  1. Pre drill the holes for the mounting screws using a 3/32" drill bit. Drill to 3/8 inch.

  2. Remove the ground cables from both batteries.

  3. Install a new battery cable between the positive (+) post of  House battery and the contactor post marked "A2-" (left side post in photo).

  4. Install a new battery cable between the positive (+) post of the start battery and contactor post marked  "+A1+ (right side post in photo).

  5. Connect yellow 18 gauge wire to the ignition switch ( must be hot in the ignition position of switch).
