To disconnect the tow cable:
1.
Verify that the TPU is switched off and that its power cord is disconnected.
2.
Disconnect the safety cable from the bail grip loop. Remove the electrical tape
securing the safety cable to the tow cable. Cable ties fastening the safety cable
to the cable hold-down clips on the towfish housing may remain in place.
3.
Separate the connectors by first loosening the locking sleeve. Then double
check that the TPU is off and grasp the body of the connector and gently pull
it out of the tow shackle connector. Do not pull on the wires to separate the
connectors. Always hold the body of the connector. After separating the
connectors, put a thin coating of silicone grease on the rubber section of the
connector pins.
4.
Remove the retaining ring from the tow pin and withdraw the pin. Disengage
the tow cable shackle from the towfish or tow bracket. Replace the tow pin in
the hole in the tow bracket, and secure it with the retaining ring.
