LOOM cable kit, 60"

The LOOM 60-inch Lowrance cable kit (reference 000-15671-001) is a set of essential components designed for connecting and maintaining the electrical system and pedal of Lowrance Ghost electric motors, specifically those with a 60-inch shaft length. It is ideal for replacing or servicing existing wiring.

The kit includes the following items:

A 60-inch cable for connecting the motor head to the control pedal. Two M3 x 10 Torx screws. A strain relief joint. A set of clamps and heat-shrink tubing. A PCBA thermal pad.

The main cable included in this kit, intended for connecting the motor head to the pedal, is 60 inches long.

The strain relief gland is provided to protect cable connection points from mechanical stress and the marine environment. It helps prevent cable damage and ensures the integrity of signals and electrical power.

The thermal pad for the PCBA is included to assist with heat management of electronic components (PCBA stands for "Printed Circuit Board Assembly"). It ensures adequate thermal dissipation to maintain the reliability and performance of the Ghost motor's electrical system.

This kit is designed specifically for Lowrance Ghost electric motors. It is compatible with Ghost motor models with a 60-inch shaft length.

No, this cable kit is specifically designed for Lowrance Ghost electric motors with a 60-inch shaft length. Ghost motors are available with shaft lengths of 47, 52 or 60 inches, but this kit is optimized for the 60-inch version.

The Lowrance Ghost bow thruster motor, for which this kit is designed, can be powered by 24 V DC or 36 V DC. It operates within a voltage range of 16 to 46 V and a nominal current of 50 A.

The LOOM 60-inch cable kit is specifically designed for standard Ghost models with a 60-inch shaft length. Ghost X motors typically have a 47-inch shaft length, making this 60-inch kit unsuitable for the Ghost X.

This cable kit is specifically designed for Lowrance Ghost electric motors. It is not guaranteed to be compatible or functional with other models of electric motors from Lowrance or other brands due to connection and length specifications.

The supplied cable is intended to establish the electrical connection between the Lowrance Ghost electric motor head and its control pedal. The specific installation instructions, including connector alignment and nut tightening, must be followed by referring to the Ghost motor’s full installation manual to ensure a correct and secure connection.

During installation, avoid excessive bending or sharp bends in the cables. It is recommended to include service loops to reduce stress and simplify future maintenance.

The kit includes two Torx M3 x 10 screws. These screws are specifically sized for the mounting requirements of the Lowrance Ghost motor and are selected to ensure proper and secure installation of the kit components.

The cable tie and heat-shrink tubing kit is supplied for clean and secure cable management. They help organize cables, secure them in place, and protect against abrasion or excessive movement, thereby contributing to the durability of the installation.

Yes, it is critical to check the polarity of the battery connections and ensure the terminals are clean and free of corrosion. Power cables must be connected with the black wire to the negative DC and the red wire to the positive DC (24 V DC or 36 V DC) to the pedal. It is also important to ensure the correct cable diameter is used.

Yes, for safety reasons and to prevent any damage to the system, it is imperative to disconnect the engine’s electrical power supply before installing or maintaining the cable kit.

Yes, it is recommended to include service loops and maintenance loops for cables. This helps reduce tension on connections, facilitates water drainage, and simplifies future maintenance or troubleshooting operations.

The LOOM 60-inch cable kit is designed for replacing or servicing existing wiring between the engine head and the pedal. It is not specifically described as a cable extension solution, but rather as a complete replacement kit for the specified length.

After connecting the cable, use the included cable ties and heat-shrink tubing to secure and organize the wiring. Ensure all connections are tight and that the strain relief boot is properly installed to protect the connection points.

The LOOM Lowrance 60-inch cable kit contains the components required for installation but does not mention the inclusion of specific tools. You will likely need to use your own tools, such as a 6 mm hex key, as referenced in the general documentation for Ghost motors.
