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.

PUSH-TO-TEST BATTERY METER

This motor is equipped with a "push-to-test" battery meter. The LED provides an accurate display of the remaining charge in the battery. It is only accurate when the motor is off.

The meter reads as:

• One light indicates recharge.
- Two lights indicate low charge.
- Three lights indicate good charge.
- Four lights indicate full charge.

digital MAXIMIZER TEST

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 same 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 motor lead to positive (+) terminal on battery 2.
   c. Connect negative (−) black motor lead to negative (−) terminal of battery 1.

24 Volt Series Connection

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 connections tight and solid to battery terminals.
• Locate battery in a ventilated compartment.

Latch Collar

TO DEPLOY THE MOTOR

Loosen the Depth Collar screw, then push firmly down on the Deploy-Assist Lever to release the collar and slide the motor forward, out from the ramp. Lower the motor to the desired depth. Make sure it clicks into a secure, vertical position.

TO STOW THE MOTOR

Push down on the Tilt Lock Lever and raise the motor by pulling up on the composite shaft or control head. Pull the motor toward the stern until it rests securely on the ramp and the Deploy-Assist Lever captures the latch collar. Slide the depth collar down and secure it against the top of the steering housing to secure the motor in place and prevent accidental deployment.

TRANSPORTATION

In conditions where the stowed motor is subject to high levels of shock or vibration, take care to provide a secure stow. Move the depth collar snug against the steering motor and tighten.

TO ADJUST THE LATCH COLLAR

The latch collar is adjustable. If needed, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the collar up or down to re-align the latch and collar. The ideal adjustment is a slightly loose fit that completely captures the collar.

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR

When setting the depth be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least 12" to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. The propeller must be completely submerged.

1. With the motor deployed, firmly grasp the composite shaft above the mount.
2. Loosen the adjustable depth collar until the shaft slides freely.
3. Raise or lower the motor to the desired depth.
4. Turn the motor control head to the desired position.
5. Tighten adjustable depth collar to secure the motor in place.

USING THE COPILOT\*

GENERAL OPERATION

USING THE HAND REMOTE WITH THE CORDED FOOT PEDAL

• When the corded foot pedal's MOM-CON switch is in the CON position or when the Momentary On switch is held, the receiver WILL NOT RES POND to any remote commands. When remote commands are received, the receiver will emit an audio chirp. This will indicate that the remote is functioning properly although a corded foot pedal switch is active and is overriding the remote.
• When the MOM-CON switch is in the MOM position, the angler may begin using the remote at any time.
• As soon as any remote button is pressed, the initial speed setting will be approximately the same as the corded foot pedal's speed control position. However, the prop will not automatically turn on until the remote's prop on/off button is pressed.
• Pressing the corded foot pedal momentary switch or steering switches will override the remote and receiver function and control will automatically go to the corded foot pedal. The prop speed will also revert to the current position of the speed control on the corded foot pedal.

USING THE COPILOT WITHOUT THE CORDED FOOT PEDAL

- If the foot pedal is not being used, the CoPilot receiver will always react to any commands from the CoPilot remote.

REMOTE COMMANDS

There are five buttons on your CoPilot:

- PROP ON/OFF

Turns the propeller on or off. Press the button once to turn the propeller ON; press button a second time to turn it OFF. The button does not need to be held down.

Decrease Speed Steer Left Increase Speed Prop ON/OFF Steer Right DOWN.

• ST EER LEFT /ST EER RIGHT

Causes the motor to turn in the desired direction as long as the button is held down. If a steering button is held for more than seven seconds, the steering will automatically stop until the button is pressed again.

• INCREASE SPEED/DECREASE SPEED

Pressing and releasing these buttons causes the speed to increase or decrease by one level. The speed is adjustable from level 0-10. At level 0, the prop will not turn.

• In audio mode 2, an audible beep is heard for each step change in speed. Attempting to go higher than speed 10 or lower than speed 0 will result in the speed not changing and no beep will be heard. See the Audio Mode section for more information.
• If the receiver senses no foot pedal or remote operation for 1 hour, the remote speed setting is automatically set to zero. This helps prevent unintentional activation of the propeller if the PROP ON/OFF remote button is inadvertently pressed.

AUDIO MODES

There are three receiver audio modes available. The unit is factory set to Audio Mode 2. To switch from one audio mode to another, simultaneously press and hold the increase and decrease speed buttons for one second. The receiver will respond with 1, 2 or 3 audible beeps indicating the corresponding receiver audio mode change.

• Audio Mode 1 = All of the normal audible sounds mentioned in this owners manual, but no audible beeps for speed increase / decrease or prop on / off.
• Audio Mode 2 = Same as audio mode 1 plus an audible beep for speed increase / decrease and prop on/off.
• Audio Mode 3 = Same as audio mode 2 plus the prop on audible click every few seconds.

NOTE: When the corded foot pedal is in control and the propeller is on, the prop on indicator click will be heard if the receiver is set to audio mode 3.

1 Long beep, 2 short beeps, pause (repeat)	Powered up with MOM/CON in the CON (or MOM switch held) when foot pedal is moved to momentary, the power up audio will be heard.	All

ADDING/REMOVING REMOTES

The CoPilot receiver in this kit has already “learned” the ID number of the remote it is packaged with. The receiver must “learn” the ID number of any additional remote(s) that you intend to use. When the receiver learns the ID number of a remote, that ID number is retained in the receiver even when the motor is disconnected from its power source.

minn KOTA COPILOT Learn Button

To "learn" the ID number of additional remotes, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the LEARN button located on the side of the receiver (receiver will emit a continuous tone). A small, blunt object such as a pen or screwdriver must be used to depress the LEARN button.
2. Press any button on the remote (receiver will beep 4 times confirming that it has "learned" the ID number of the remote and that the programming is valid and complete.)

NOTE: "Re-learning" the ID number of the same remote will not overwrite previously "learned" remotes.

NOTE: If the receiver has “learned” the ID number of ten remotes, “learning” an eleventh remote will overwrite the first remote.

To erase all stored remote ID numbers from the receiver, follow these steps:

1. Remove power from the receiver by unplugging the receiver from the motor.
2. Press and hold the LEARN button and power up the receiver by plugging it back into the motor. Hold the LEARN button down for 10 seconds. During this time the receiver audio will emit a warble sound, slowly transition to a constant beep and then shut off.
3. Release the LEARN button and the receiver will reboot. The receiver will emit a 2 second long beep indicating memory is empty. This audio pattern will occur each time the receiver powers up until a remote ID number is learned.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

1. Temporarily ground yourself by touching a grounded metal object in order to discharge any static electricity in your body.
2. Remove the four screws on the bottom of the remote case.
3. Separate the case halves to access the circuit board.
4. Pull back the retaining fingers of the battery holder to remove the battery (underside of circuit board).
5. Install the new battery with the positive (+) side of the battery facing up (away from the circuit board). Ensure battery is snapped securely in place.
6. Reassemble the remote. Note that the alignment peg in the remote case must line up with the corresponding alignment hole in the circuit board. Also note that the keypad must be positioned so that the buttons are over the end of the circuit board opposite from the alignment peg and hole. Reinstall the four case screws and tighten them as required.

NOTE: The replacement battery must be a model cr2032 coin cell type. It is strongly recommended that a name brand battery is used.

1. Disconnect motor from battery prior to changing the propeller.
2. Hold the propeller and loosen the anode/nut with a wrench.
3. Remove anode/nut and washer. If the drive pin is sheared/broken, you will need to hold the shaft steady with a screwdriver blade pressed into the slot on the end of the shaft.
4. Turn the old prop to horizontal (as illustrated) and pull it straight off. If drive pin falls out, push it back in.
5. Align new propeller with drive pin.
6. Install prop washer and anode/nut.
7. Tighten anode/ nut 1/4 turn past snug. [25-35 inch lbs.] Be careful, over tightening can damage prop.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. After every use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater, then wiped down with a cloth dampened with an aqueous based silicone spray.
2. The propeller must be inspected and cleaned of weeds and fi shing line after every use. Fishing line and weeds can get behind the prop, damage the seals and allow water to enter the motor.
3. Verify the prop nut is secure each time the motor is used.
4. To prevent accidental damage during transportation or storage, disconnect the battery whenever the motor is off of the water. For prolonged storage, lightly coat all metal parts with an aqueous based silicone spray.
5. For maximum battery life, recharge the battery(s) as soon as possible after use. For maximum motor performance, restore battery to full charge prior to use.
6. Keep battery terminals clean with fine sandpaper or emery cloth.
7. The propeller is designed to provide optimum operation with very high efficiency. To maintain this top performance, the leading edge of the blades must be kept smooth. If they are rough or nicked from use, restore to smooth by sanding with fine sandpaper.
