BATTERY WIRING & INSTALLATION

BOAT RIGGING & PRODUCT INSTALLATION

For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when rigging your boat. Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualified marine technician. The following specifications are for general guidelines only:

CAUTION: These guidelines apply to general rigging to support your Minn Kota motor. Powering multiple motors or additional electrical devices from the same power circuit may impact the recommended conductor gauge and circuit breaker size. If you are using wire longer than that provided with your unit, follow the conductor gauge and circuit breaker sizing table below. If your wire extension length is more than 25 feet, we recommend that you contact a qualified marine technician.

An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) must be used. Coast Guard requirements dictate that each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse. The type (voltage and current rating) of the fuse or circuit breaker must be sized accordingly to the trolling motor used. The table below gives recommended guidelines for circuit breaker sizing.

This conductor and circuit breaker sizing table is only valid for the following assumptions:

  1. No more than 3 conductors are bundled together inside of a sheath or conduit outside of engine spaces.
  2. Each conductor has 105^ C temp rated insulation.
  3. No more than 5% voltage drop allowed at full motor power based on published product power requirements.

*Wire Extension Length refers to the distance from the batteries to the trolling motor leads.

SELECTING THE CORRECT BATTERIES

The motor will operate with any lead acid, deep cycle marine 12 volt battery/batteries. For best results, use a deep cycle, marine battery with at least a 105 ampere hour rating. Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will ensure having battery power when you need it, and will significantly improve the battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. Use a multi-stage charger to avoid overcharging. We offer a wide selection of chargers to fit your charging needs. If you are using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, we recommend that you use a separate deep cycle marine battery/batteries for your Minn Kota trolling motor.

Advice Regarding Batteries:

  • Never connect the (+) and the (−) terminals of the battery together. Take care that no metal object can fall onto the battery and short the terminals. This would immediately lead to a short and extreme fire danger.
  • It is highly recommended that a circuit breaker or fuse be used with this trolling motor. Refer to “Conductor Gauge and Circuit Breaker Sizing Table” in the previous section to find the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse for your motor. For motors requiring a 60-amp breaker, the Minn Kota MKR-19 60-amp circuit breaker is recommended.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES

12 VOLT SYSTEMS:

  1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on "OFF" or "O").
  2. Connect positive (+) red lead to positive (+) battery terminal.
  3. Connect negative (−) black lead to negative (−) battery terminal.
  4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller is in the water.

CAUTION:

For safety reasons, disconnect the motor from the battery/batteries when the motor is not in use or while the battery/batteries are being charged.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES IN SERIES (IF REQUIRED FOR YOUR MOTOR)

24 VOLT SYSTEMS:

  1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on "O").
  2. Two 12 volt batteries are required.
  3. The batteries must be wired in series, only as directed in wiring diagram, to provide 24 volts.

a. Connect a connector cable to the positive (+) terminal of battery 1 and to the negative (−) terminal of battery 2.
b. Connect positive (+) red lead to positive (+) terminal on battery 2.
c. Connect negative (−) black lead to negative (−) terminal of battery 1.

  1. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller is in the water. If installing a leadwire plug, observe proper polarity and follow instructions in your boat owner's manual. See wiring diagram on following pages.

CAUTION

  • For safety reasons, disconnect the motor from the battery or batteries when the motor is not in use or while the battery/batteries are being charged.
  • Improper wiring of 24/36 volt systems could cause battery explosion!
  • Keep leadwire wing nut connection tight and solid to battery terminals.
  • Locate battery in a ventilated compartment.

USING AND ADJUSTING THE MOTOR

STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR

WARNING:

When raising or lowering the motor, keep fingers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.

MOUNT FEATURES

  • The motor mount is designed to fold back and lock the motor flat on the deck when not in use and to provide secure stowage for transport.
  • The pull grip and rope releases the lock bar, which automatically engages when the unit is lowered or raised into position. The pull grip and rope should be used to both lower and raise the unit.
  • The motor rest positions the lower unit as it comes in contact with the nose of the mount and guides it onto the motor rest.
  • The tube lock captures the motor shaft and keeps the lower unit centered on the motor rest.
  • The hold-down strap must be used to place pressure on the motor shaft to hold the lower unit tightly against the motor rest when stowed.
  • The pull grip and rope can be stored by placing the pull grip on top of the tube lock or into the rope stow slot on the control box of the motor.

TO DEPLOY THE MOTOR

Simply pull back and lift the motor off of the mount with the pull grip and rope. Lower the motor into the water using the pull grip and rope. The motor will lock into the deployed position automatically.

TO STOW THE MOTOR

Pull back and lift the motor out of the water with the pull grip and rope. Lower the lower unit onto the motor rest using the pull grip and rope. The motor will lock into the stowed position automatically. Wrap the hold-down strap over top of the motor shaft to secure the motor.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

It is the intention of JOME to be a responsible corporate citizen, operating in compliance with known and applicable environmental regulations, and a good neighbor in the communities where we make or sell our products.

WEEE DIRECTIVE:

EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)” impacts most distributors, sellers, and manufacturers of consumer electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive requires the producer of consumer electronics to take responsibility for the management of waste from their products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during the product life cycle.

WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical & electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it be required

for EEE designed and intended as fixed or temporary installation in transportation vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European Union member states, these vehicles are considered outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can be considered excluded from the WEEE Directive requirement.
