Same installation on my 170CC. Run the 'ducer wire from the CC, through the tubing provided and out the rubber boot at the rear and down the transom. No holes to drill. I also installed a fuzed circuit pannel for electronics under the CC. I wired it to the battery switch so when I cut the power, everything goes. No drain on the battery.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, I will look into the fused circuit breaker as it will obviously open up to better future installations.

When attaching just about anything to your boat with screw you should use self-tapping screws and DO NOT DRILL a hole. If you need a starting hole to keep your screw from wandering, use an awl to make a hole for the screw point. The only time you should drill a hole for screws if if you are using an anchor for a heavier load.

A plastic welder makes for an easy fix to any mistakes.

Triumph has a maintenance page on their website and they have more information on this. www.triumphboats.com
