Route the hydraulic tubing according to the instructions in the “Owner’s Manual”. If using the supplied thru-hull

bushings, be sure to use an 11/32” drill bit instead of a 5/16” bit.

A. With the tubing routed to the cylinder, pull enough slack such that the blue tubing reaches the uppermost

compression fitting (blue dust cap) and the black tubing reaches the lower compression fitting (black dust cap).

B. Disassemble both of the compression fittings by removing their nuts and ferrules. With both the blue and

black hydraulic tubing in line with their respective fittings, feed each of them through a compression fitting nut as

well as a compression fitting ferrule. ((SSeeee IImmaaggee ##11))

SECTION 2.3 – Hydraulic Systems

5/16” Compression Fittings

INSTALLATION TOOLS:

• 9/16” Wrench

• Razor Blade Knife

ROUTING:

IMPORTANT: The Hydraulic Tubing will need to be routed through the Rubber Grommet in the Upper

U-Channel and attached to the Hydraulic Cylinder via the Compression Fittings prior

to installing the Cylinder.

Route the Hydraulic Tubing according to the instructions in the Owner’s Manual. If using the supplied

Thru-Hull bushings, be sure to use an 11/32” Drill Bit instead of a 5/16” Drill Bit.

INSTALLATION (CYLINDER FITTINGS):

STEP 1 With the Tubing routed to the Cylinder, pull enough slack so the BLUE Tubing reaches the

uppermost Compression Fitting (BLUE Dust Cap) and the BLACK Tubing reaches the lower

Compression Fitting (BLACK Dust Cap).

STEP 2 Disassemble both of the compression ﬁttings by removing their Nuts and Ferrules. With both the

BLUE and BLACK hydraulic tubing in line with their respective ﬁttings, feed each of them through a

Compression Fitting Nut as well as a Compression Fitting Ferrule. FIG 1

IMPORTANT! The tubing needs to pass through the Ferrule far enough so there is approximately a 1/2”

length of tubing exposed. FIG 1

STEP 3 Insert the BLUE Tubing into its respective compression ﬁtting base. With the Tubing fully

inserted, begin threading on the Compression Fitting Nut. Repeat this procedure with the

BLACK Tubing.

STEP 4 Tighten both Compression Fitting Nuts with a 9/16” Wrench. FIG 2

WARNING: The Nuts must be tightened down far enough so NONE of the Compression Fittings’ threads

are visible. Otherwise, hydraulic failure may occur. FIG 3

STEP 5 Once the Hydraulic Tubing is securely fastened to the ﬁttings, install the Cylinder in the

Anchor, and use the supplied marine wire ties to fasten the BLUE Tubing to the Cylinder via the

instructions in the Owner’s Manual.
