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 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

USING & 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.

STOW/DEPLOY LEVER OPERATION:

1. Push in 2. Push down Depth Collar Steering Housing Stow/Deploy Lever System Ready Indicator Fall Away Ramps

GENERAL

System Ready (green LED): The motor is equipped with a system ready indicator. Indicator light will be on when motor is deployed and power is applied to the motor. When the motor is properly stowed the indicator light will go off indicating all power has been turned off to the motor. If this indicator light does not come on when deployed, check that motor is connected to battery properly and motor is completely deployed. If indicator light does not go off when stowed, be sure that stow/deploy lever is fully latched and locked into the stowed position.

TO DEPLOY THE MOTOR

Push in and rotate the stow/deploy lever down. Gently slide the motor out from the ramps. Lower the motor to the desired depth, making sure that it clicks into a secure, vertical position. The System Ready indicator light (green) will be lit, indicating motor is ready for operation.

TO STOW THE MOTOR

Push and hold the stow/deploy lever down. Gently tilt and pull the composite shaft or control head until the motor engages the motor ramps. Motor should rest on the motor ramps and lock into place. The stow/deploy lever should latch automatically into the stowed position. The system ready indicator light (green) MUST go off for the motor to be stowed properly.

TRANSPORTATION

In conditions where the stowed motor is subject to high levels of shock or vibration, ensure the motor is securely stowed. Move the depth collar snug against the steering motor and tighten.

AUTOPILOT™ CONTROLS

(ON AUTOPILOT EQUIPPED MOTORS ONLY)

The Minn Kota AutoPilot™ uses a magnetic compass and a microprocessor chip to keep the trolling motor pointed in the direction you want to go. Each time the wind or water current moves the boat off course, the AutoPilot senses the change and steers itself back to the original heading. The AutoPilot direction is set every time a steering change is made. To change direction, steer until the control head points to the desired course. The AutoPilot will pull the bow of the boat around and correct automatically until the boat is moving in the direction you chose.

1. This unit has an automatic steering shutdown for safety. In conditions where an obstruction prevents the trolling motor from turning, or in extremely windy conditions, the automatic steering may stop. Any steering input will reset the system to normal.
2. When the AutoPilot is on and the trolling motor is pulled out of the water to the stow position, the steering motor will continue to run until the motor is stowed properly. Once the motor is stowed properly, AutoPilot will turn off and the System Ready indicator will go off.
3. This unit uses a magnetic compass to detect direction of travel. The compass can be adversely affected by magnets or large, ferrous metal objects near (within 12" of) the trolling motor control head.
4. After steering to a new direction, there is a short delay before the direction is locked in to allow the compass to stabilize.
5. Obstructions on the propeller may cause excessive vibration of the motor head. This vibration can cause the compass to wander and erratic steering to occur. Clear the obstruction to return the motor to normal operation.
6. When broad speed changes are made, the motor heading may change slightly. This is normal.

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.

Composite Shaft Adjustable Depth Collar Motor Mount 12" Minimum Depth

INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER

An external sonar transducer can be installed onto the motor as shown.

1. Transducer cables should be routed through the coil cable as depicted in the illustration to the right.
2. Leave enough slack for proper stow and deploy.
3. Mount transducer according to transducer instructions.

Note: An external transducer is not included with your trolling motor. Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar 2 transducer system. In this case, the transducer is integrated into the motor unit.

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

- After every use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater, then wiped down with a cloth dampened with an aqueous based silicone spray. Do not spray water into the ventilation openings in the head of the motor.

- The composite shaft requires periodic cleaning and lubrication for proper retraction and deployment. A coating of an aqueous based silicone spray will improve operation.

- The propeller must be inspected and cleaned of weeds and fishing line after every use. Fishing line and weeds can get behind the prop, damage the seals and allow water to enter the motor.

- Verify the prop nut is secure each time the motor is used.

- 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.

- 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.

- Keep battery terminals clean with fi ne sandpaper or emery cloth (fl ooded lead acid only).

- 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 picked from use, restore to smooth by sanding with fine
