Wiring Termination in the Distribution Unit

This section describes the best practices to terminate and connect the wiring harnesses into

the Navigator Distribution Unit Two-Tier Terminal Strips. You may choose to do this if you

shorten a wire harness to the length required on your vessel. Tools you will need include:

• Jacket Insulation Strippers,

• Wire Strippers for 22, 20, and 18 Gauge Wires,

• Small slotted screwdriver, and

• Wrenches to tighten Cord Grips

Wires and wire harnesses into the Distribution Unit should be prepared with approximately

12cm (5 inches) of wire pig tails, and between 5mm (1/4 inch) to 9mm (3/8 inch) of bare wire

exposed. Figure 26 to Figure 28 illustrates the recommended cable and wire preparation.
