Mounting Holes (6 Per Side)

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.

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. minnkotamotors.com | 7 ©2015 Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. BATTERY WIRING & INSTALLATION 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.

BATTERY WIRING & INSTALLATION 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 “0”). 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. 4. 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. To trolling motor negative 24 Volt Connection Battery #1 (Low Side) Neg - Neg - Pos + Pos + Battery #2 (High Side) +24 Volts to trolling motor positive (or circuit breaker) 24 Volt Series Connection 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 “0”). 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. 8 | minnkotamotors.com ©2015 Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc.
