Upgrading Bennett Tabs to the new OBI9000H indicator

[Bill Curtis]

The documentation on upgrading may be confusing for some so I made my own diagram.

My '95 220 Sig Select has the two rocker switches to control tabs, so I purchased the Bennett OBI9000H upgrade kit (found on sale for $220). Going to disconnect the wiring from rockers and connect the spade connectors directly to the Indicator wiring with new spades. Then do the other wiring to helm harness. Should be really easy. Now I will have 2 spare rocker switch positions for Auxiliary / add ons switches

Here is the picture of the new installation wiring. Hope this helps someone else.

Thank you. Does it require any drilling thru the hull for sensors? How far back into the stern does one have to crawl to make the connections? I have good access to the hydrualic unit but not to the accuators.
Thanks for the post.

You need to drill a hole in transom for each actuator wire, behind each actuator mounting flange (the new actuator top mounts are replaced with kit).

Other than that, everything else is done at the helm.

Sounds like an only on the hard before launch job.
Thank you.

WHAT recall if I may be so bold?

Someone posted a fire extinguisher recall. He moved it.
