MINN KOTA Trolling Motor Plus and Receptacle

Parts

TOOLS AND RESOURCES REQUIRED

• Wire Stripper
• Pencil or marking tool
• Wire Cutter
• Ruler
• 3/32″ Allen Wrench
• Heat Gun
• Marking Tool
• Drill
• 1-¾” Hole Saw
• 1/8″ Drill Bit
• Phillips Screw Driver

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Before installing your Trolling Motor Plug and Receptacle, please give consideration to the following:

1. The mounting surface needs to have a flat surface no less than 3-¼” wide x 2-½ inches high. Use the Face Plate (Item #2) to check for clearance at the desired mounting location
   WARNING: Make sure the power source is disconnected or, if controlled by a switch, turned OFF before beginning installation of the Plug Receptacle. Failure to remove power from the Boat Wires could cause electric shock.
   NOTICE: If uncomfortable making this installation, we recommend to have the Motor Plug and Receptacle installed by a qualified marine installer.
   WARNING: Do not tin any wires with this installation. Tinned wires could cause the connection to loosen over time, creating an improper connection. Improper connections could cause a short or extreme fire danger. Follow the installation instructions provided to avoid product failure and injury.
2. Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes and that installation hardware will not damage existing components or wiring below the mounting surface.
3. Make sure that the trolling motor Power Leads and the Boat Wires are not connected to a power source before beginning installation.
4. Test that the Boat Wires can reach the intended mounting location to be attached to the Plug Receptacle. Also check that the Trolling Motor Lead Wires can reach the Plug Assembly wires and that there is enough slack that the plug can be both plugged in and unplugged at the intended location. All wires should not only reach, but also have extra slack to allow for ease of installation or repairs and relieve tension on the final installation. If the wires are not adequate in length, select another location.
5. Determine if the mounting location will work when the Plug Assembly is plugged into the Plug Receptacle. Check for clearance that will be required for the cords exiting and entering on both sides of the installation. Allow for space for the cords to exist and accommodate plugging and unplugging the plug as needed.

INSTALLATION

Trolling Motor Plug and Receptacle Installation

a. Review the Mounting Considerations and determine an acceptable Mounting Location
WARNING: Make sure the power source is disconnected or, if controlled by a switch, turned OFF before beginning installation of the Plug Receptacle. Failure to remove power from the Boat Wires could cause electric shock.

b. Once an acceptable Mounting Location is selected, remove any power leading to the Boat Wires. Use a Drill with a 1-¾” Hole Saw to drill a hole through the selected location.
c. With the hole drilled, locate the Boat Wires that the plug will be connected to. The wires may need to be trimmed and stripped. Use a Wire Cutter to cut the wires to remove any terminals or covers that may be in place.

NOTICE: For ease of installation, it is recommended to stagger the ends of the wires by 1-¼”. Make the Negative (-) Boat Wire the shorter wire of the two. Staggering the length of the wires will help with the installation of the hardware used to connect the wires later in the installation.

NOTICE: The ends of the Boat Wires may have any sort of electrical connector that should be removed.

d. With a Wire Stripper remove the protective covering on the wires. It is recommended to remove approximately ½” to ¾” of the protective covering to expose the wires. Use a Ruler to measure this distance if necessary. If the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Boat Wires are fused together, split them so they are separated by a minimum of 2-½” from the end of the shortest wire.

e. Take the Boat Wires and fish them through the 1-¾” hole that was cut in the Mounting Location. The wires should pass from the back so that the newly trimmed ends exit the front of the hole.

f. The Boat Wires that were stripped will be covered with a 6 AWG Ferrule (Item #14) to contain the wire strands. Take the two Ferrules and place one at the end of each wire, encasing all of the wire strandsNOTICE: The 6 AWG Ferrule are the largest in the provided hardware. The four 8 AWG Ferrules may only be needed if the Plug Receptacle or Plug Assembly wires need to be trimmed or recapped.

NOTICE: Boat Wire sizes vary, so it may be necessary to use a different sized Ferrule.

g. With the wires out the front of the Mounting Location, take one of the 2” Shrink Tubes (Items #6) and place one on the end of the longer Positive (+) Boat Wire.

h. Take one Splicer (Item #12) and place it on the end of the Positive (+) Boat Wire. The Splicer is secured to the Boat Wire over the Ferrule. Secure the Splicer by tightening the Set Screw with an 3/32″ Allen Wrench to 20 in-lbs.i. The Splicer and Shrink Tube should be added to the Plug Receptacle so it can be attached to the Boat Wires. Take the Plug Receptacle (Item #B) and place one Shrink Tube (Item #6), followed by one Splicer (Item #12) on the end of the black Negative (-) Wire of the Plug Receptacle. Secure the Splicer by tightening the Set Screw with a 3/32″ Allen Wrench to 20 in-lbs

NOTICE: The positive (+) and negative (-) wires on the Plug Receptacle should have Ferrules already applied.

j. Take the Plug Receptacle and identify the red Positive (+) Wire on the Plug Receptacle and align it with the Positive (+) Boat Wire. Insert it into the Splicer at the end of the Positive (+) Boat Wire. Take the black Negative (-) Wire from the Plug Receptacle and align it with the Negative (-) Boat Wire. Insert it in the Splicer at the end of the black Negative (-) Wire of the Plug Receptacle. Secure the Set Screw of both Splicers with the Allen Wrench to 20 in-lbs.k. Once the Splicers are secure on both wires, take the Shrink Tubes and slide them over the Splicers. The Shrink Tube should be centered over the Splicer and completely cover the wire connections.

l. When satisfied with the position, secure the Shrink Tubes in place with a Heat Gun. Ensure that there is no opening around the Shrink Tubes when heated. Push the wires and the Plug Receptacle into the drilled hole until the Plug Receptacle sits against the mounting surface.

NOTICE: The Shrink Tubes are meant to water proof the connection between the Plug Receptacle and the Boat Wires. Make sure there are no gaps around the wires that would allow water to reach the connection.

m. The Face Plate (Item #2) is designed to be keyed with the Plug Receptacle. Turn the Face Plate over and notice the notches along the Inner Circle. These notches are keyed with the outer edge of the Plug Receptacle when it sits flush on the mounting surface. This allows the Face Plate or Plug Receptacle to be rotated in 45 degree increments.

NOTICE: Tethering the Dust Cap to the Face Plate during installation is optional. The Dust Cap can be stowed away when the plug is in use and should be replaced for storage or transport.

n. On the back side of the Face Plate, there is also a hook to attached the Dust Cover (Item #C). Determine if the Dust Cover will hang to the right or the left and turn the hook on the Face Plate to the appropriate direction.

o. Flip the Face Plate so the keys on the Inner Circle are towards the mounting surface and place it over the Plug Receptacle. It should be seated on the mounting surface.

p. Take the Plug Assembly (Item #A) and plug it into the Plug Receptacle. The Plug Assembly and Plug Receptacle are also keyed with each other. Orientate the Plug Assembly and Plug Receptacle so they can be fully pushed together. The Threaded Collar on the Plug Assembly does not have to be tightened

NOTICE: Use the Dust Cap when plug is not in use to insure optimal water tight protection to electrical contacts.

q. Turn the entire assembly to the right or left until the Cord from the Plug Assembly is in an acceptable location. Check for clearance of other items on the mounting surface and if the cord will interfere with the operation of anything in the area.NOTICE: Make sure the location also allows for the Plug to be connected and disconnected. Then the Locking Collar can be secured once the Plug is in use.r. Once in an acceptable location, take a pen or marking tool and mark the mounting surface in each of the screw holes on the Face Plate. Make note of the orientation of the Plug for correct placement in the next steps of installation. With the locations marked, remove the Plug Assembly from the Plug Receptacle and set it aside.s. Lift the Plug Receptacle Face Plate and wires forward out of the drilled hole and leave it hang out of the way. Take a Drill with an 1/8″ Drill Bit and drill pilot holes into the Mounting Surface on the Marked Locations.t. With pilot holes drilled, push the wires, Face Plate and Plug Receptacle back in place on the Mounting Surface.u. Double check the location of the Hook on the back side of the Face Plate. The Loop in the cable of the Dust Cover should be placed in the Hook of the Face Plate. Once secure, push the Face Plate all the way back against the mounting surface. Ensure the Plug Receptacle is positioned as previously noted.v. Realign the drilled pilot holes with the screw holes on the Face Plate. Secure the Face Plate with four #8-18 x 1-¼ Screws (Item #8) using a Phillips Screw Driver.w. Locate the Power Leads for the trolling motor. Turn the power on the motor “off” and remove the motor Power Leads from any power source.x. The wires may need to be trimmed and stripped. Make sure that the wires are long enough to reach the installation location. Use a Wire Cutter to cut the wires to remove any terminals or covers that may be in place. Cut the wires so that the ends of the wires are staggered and the Negative (-) Power Lead is approximately 1-¼” longer than the Positive (+) Power Lead.y. With a Wire Stripper remove the protective covering on the wires. It is recommended to remove approximately ½” to ¾” of the protective covering to expose the wires. Use a Ruler to measure this distance if necessary. If the Positive (+) Power Lead and Negative (-) Power Lead of the Trolling Motor Wires are fused together, split them so they are separated by a minimum of 2-½” from the end of the shortest wire.WARNING: Make sure that the trolling motor wires are not connected to a power source. Failure to remove power could cause electric shock.z. Both the Positive (+) Power Lead and Negative (-) Power Lead of the Trolling Motor Wires should be covered with a Ferrule. Take two 10 AWG or 8 AWG Ferrules (Item #18) or (Item #16) and place one on the end of each of the motor wires. With the Ferrules placed, take the Splice Cover (Item #4) and thread both the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Power Lead of the Trolling Motor Wires through it.NOTICE: The 10 AWG Ferrules are the smallest in the provided hardware. The eight 8 AWG Ferrules may only be needed if the Plug Receptacle, Plug Assembly or Trolling Motor wires need to be trimmed or recapped. Wire sizes vary, so it may be necessary to use a different sized Ferrule.aa. Take one of the 2” Shrink Tubes (Items #6) and place one on the end of the longer Negative (-) Power Lead of the Trolling Motor Wire. Take one Splicer (Item #12) and place it on the end of the same wire. Secure the Splicer by tightening the Set Screw with an 3/32″ Allen Wrench to 20 in-lbsab. The Splicer and Shrink Tube should be added to the Plug Receptacle so it can be attached to the Boat Wires. Take the Plug Receptacle (Item #B) and place one Shrink Tube (Item #6), followed by one Splicer (Item #12) on the end of the black Negative (-) Wire of the Plug Receptacle. Secure the Splicer by tightening the Set Screw with a 3/32″ Allen Wrench to 20 in-lbs.ac. Take the Plug Assembly and identify the red Positive (+) Power Lead on the Plug Assembly and align it with the Positive (+) Power Lead on the Trolling Motor Wires. Insert it into the Splicer at the end of the Positive (+) Lead Wire from the Plug Assembly. Take the black Negative (-) Power Lead from the Plug Assembly and align it with the Negative (-) Power Lead from the Trolling Motor Wire. Insert it in the Splicer at the end of the black Negative (-) Power Lead of from the Trolling Motor Wires. Secure the Set Screw of both Splicers with the Allen Wrench.ad. Once the Splicers are secure on both wires, take the Shrink Tubes and slide them over the Splicers. The Shrink Tubes should be centered over the Splicer and completely cover the wire connections.NOTICE: The Shrink Tubes are meant to water proof the connection between the Plug Receptacle and the Boat Wires. Make sure there are no gaps around the wires that would allow water to reach the connection.ae. When satisfied with the position, secure the Shrink Tubes in place with a Heat Gun.

a. Place the motor in the deployed position.
b. Locate the Built-in MEGA Down Imaging, i-Pilot Link and/or Universal Sonar cable(s), at the base of the Control Head.
CAUTION 
Not following the recommended wire routing for the Built-in MEGA Down Imaging, i-Pilot Link, and/or Universal Sonar cable(s), if equipped, may cause damage to the product and void your product warranty. Route cables away from pinch points or other areas that may cause them to bend in sharp angles. Routing the cables in any way other than directed may cause damage to the cables by being pinched or severed.
NOTICE: Universal Sonar connector is shown for illustration purposes.

2

c. The cable(s) should be fed all the way through the Coil Cord. It/they should exit the Coil Cord at the bottom of the Coil Cord, where it connects to the
Mount.

NOTICE: After the cable(s) exit(s) the Coil Cord, it/they should be routed through an established routing system on the boat, in an area with minimal interference. Power cables or other elements that may produce interference for the sonar signals. Inspect the selected route carefully to ensure that there are  no sharp edges, obstacles, or obstructions that may damage the cables.

FEATURE OVERVIEW AND CONNECTING THE CABLES
The cable(s) from the Control Head for each feature installed on the trolling motor is connected to an output device separately. Once the features that may be installed are identified, follow the instructions below to ensure the cables are connected correctly.

Built-In MEGA Down Imaging Built-In MEGA Down 

Imaging delivers nearly 3X the output of standard Side Imaging ® and takes fishfinding into the megahertz frequency for the very first time. The  Minn Kota flagship families of trolling motors, including Ultrex, Ulterra, Terrova, and Fortrex, now include Built-In MEGA Down Imaging sonar, the clearest imaging available only from Humminbird. With Humminbird MEGA imaging sonar built right into the trolling motor, you now have a crystal clear view of what’s directly beneath the boat, without having to manage all of the cables that come with external transducers. The Built-In MEGA DI transducer is only available on new models equipped from the factory and cannot be added to an existing trolling motor.
The Built-in MEGA DI transducer will provide both MEGA Down Imaging and 2D CHIRP Digital Sonar to select Humminbird models. All Built-In  MEGA DI trolling motors will come “Apex and Solix Ready” out of the box. An adapter cable accessory (MKR-MDI-1 1852085 or MKR-MDI-2 1852086)  is available for purchase that will allow the connection of any compatible Humminbird Helix fish finder. The MKRMDI-1 is used on Helix 8, 9, 10,  12 and 15 models. The MKR-MDI-2 is used for Humminbird Helix 7 models only. See the Built-In MEGA Down Imaging Compatibility chart online.

NOTICE: You can only view Down Imaging with a MEGA DI or MEGA SI HELIX G2N, G3N or G4N Series model and a required adapter, or with any SOLIX or APEX Series model. The built-in transducer cannot supply MEGA Imaging to Humminbird models that do not already have the capability.  If you have a G2/G2N, G3/G3N HELIX that is not a MEGA SI or MEGA DI model, you will still get 2D Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar from the transducer. SOLIX G1 and HELIX G2 and G2N units need to be running the latest software update to view sonar from motors with Built-In MEGA  imaging. You can get the latest version of the software for your fish finder on humminbird.com. Built-In MEGA Imaging is not supported by HELIX G1  models or other brands of fish finders.

NOTICE: If any cables need to be routed, please follow the guidelines in the Routing Connection Cables section of these installation instructions.

NOTICE: The connectors are keyed to prevent reversed installation.

Universal Sonar
Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. Universal Sonar is a 2D sonar transducer with a temperature sensor that is integrated into the lower unit of the trolling motor. It has an operating frequency of 83/200 kHz. Connecting this transducer to a compatible fishfinder gives you a 2D sonar view of what is happening directly below your trolling motor. The integrated design protects the transducer from underwater hazards and prevents tangles and damage to the transducer cables.
All Universal Sonar motors are equipped with an internal bonding wire, incorrect rigging will cause sonar interference and can damage your trolling motor,  electronics, and other boat accessories. To minimize trolling motor interference, ensure that the fish finder and trolling motor are powered by separate batteries. Please refer to the Battery & Wiring Installation and Motor Wiring Diagram sections of this manual for correct rigging instructions.
The Universal Sonar Cables are shielded to minimize interference. To protect this shielding the cables should not be pulled tight against sharp angles or hard objects. If using cable ties, do not over-tighten. Any excess cable should be bundled in a loose loop of no less than 4” in diameter. In certain situations,  air bubbles may adhere to the surface of the Universal Sonar transducer, and affect the performance. If this happens simply wipe the surface of the transducer with your finger.

NOTICE: Universal Sonar does not support imaging screens that require higher frequencies such as 455 kHz or 800 kHz (Down Imaging, Side Imaging,  etc.). Down Imaging (DI) specific units are not compatible with Universal Sonar. See the compatibility chart for a list of compatible fish finders at minnkotamotors.com.
The connector for Universal Sonar exits the trolling motor below the Control Head and consists of a 4-pin plug. An adapter cable (MKR-US2) that is sold separately is required for all installations. For a current list of compatible fish finders and the correct adapter cable, or more information on Universal Sonar, please visit minnkotamotors.com.

i-Pilot Link
i-Pilot Link allows your Minn Kota trolling motor and Humminbird to communicate with each other to change the way you fish. i-Pilot Link delivers a large array of GPS capabilities including controlling speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and the ability to record and retrace paths on the water, all at your fingertips. To learn more about the GPS capabilities available with your i-Pilot Link navigation system, please refer to the Owner’s Manual by visiting  minnkotamotors.com.

NOTICE: The i-Pilot Link system needs an external wired connection. The i-Pilot system does not need an external wired connection.

The i-Pilot Link remote and controller make up the i-Pilot Link navigation system. The i-Pilot Link remote comes paired to the controller from the factory.  The i-Pilot Link controller contains a very sensitive compass and is where all GPS satellite and i-Pilot Link remote signals are received. The i-Pilot Link controller is contained in the trolling motor Control Head and is connected to a fish finder from a connection cable that exits the Control Head.
The Ethernet cable for the i-Pilot Link system has an 8-pin connector. The i-Pilot Link system can be connected directly to the Humminbird or to the  Humminbird Ethernet Switch (optional).

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 qualifi ed marine technician. The following specifi cations 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 qualifi ed marine technician.
CAUTION
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.
CONDUCTOR GAUGE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER SIZING TABLE
This conductor and circuit breaker sizing table is only valid for the following assumptions:

1. No more than 2 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.

NOTICE: Wire Extension Length refers to the distance from the batteries to the trolling motor leads. Consult the website for available thrust options.  Maximum Amp Draw values only occur intermittently during select conditions and should not be used as continuous amp load ratings.

Reference
United States Code of Federal Regulations: 33 CFR 183 – Boats and Associated Equipment ABYC E-11: AC and DC Electrical Systems on Boats

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  amp-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. For more information on battery selection and rigging,  please visit minnkotamotors.com. Minn Kota trolling motors can run on Lithium Ion batteries. However, they are specifically designed to run on traditional lead acid batteries (flooded, AMG, or GEL). Lithium Ion batteries maintain higher voltages for longer periods of time than lead acid. Therefore, running a  Minn Kota trolling motor at speeds higher than 85% for a prolonged period could cause permanent damage to the motor.

WARNING
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 short and extreme fire danger.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Please read the following information before connecting your motor to your batteries in order to avoid damaging your motor and/or voiding your warranty.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Using Alternator Chargers
Your Minn Kota trolling motor may be designed with an internal bonding wire to reduce sonar interference. Most alternator charging systems do not account for this bonding wire and connect the negative posts of the trolling motor batteries to the negative posts of the crank/starting battery. These external connections can damage connected electronics and the electrical system of your trolling motor, voiding your warranty. Review your charger’s manual carefully or consult the manufacturer prior to use to ensure your charger is compatible. Minn Kota recommends using Minn Kota brand chargers to recharge the batteries connected to your Minn Kota trolling motor, as they have been engineered to work with motors that include a bonding wire.

Additional Accessories Connected to Trolling Motor Batteries
Significant damage to your Minn Kota motor, your boat electronics, and your boat can occur if incorrect connections are made between your trolling motor batteries and other battery systems. Minn Kota recommends using an exclusive battery system for your trolling motor. Where possible, accessories should be connected to a separate battery system. Radios and sonar units should not be connected to any trolling motor battery systems as interference from the trolling motor is unavoidable. If connecting any additional accessories to any trolling motor battery system, or making connections between the trolling motor batteries and other battery systems on the boat, be sure to carefully observe the information below.
The negative (-) connection must be connected to the negative terminal of the same battery that the trolling motor negative lead connects to. In the diagrams below this battery is labeled “Low Side” Battery. Connecting to any other trolling motor battery will input positive voltage into the “ground” of that accessory, which can cause excessive corrosion. Any damage caused by incorrect connections between the battery, systems will not be covered under warranty.
Automatic Jump Start Systems and Selector Switches 
Automatic jump start systems and selector switches tie the negatives of the connected batteries together. Connecting these systems to the “High Side”  Battery or “Middle” Battery in the diagrams below and will cause significant damage to your trolling motor and electronics. The only trolling motor battery that is safe to connect to one of these systems is the “Low Side” Battery.
NOTICE: The internal bonding wire is equipped with a 3 amp fuse. Improper connections described above carrying in excess of 3 amps will blow this fuse and no further damage will be exhibited. If this occurs, RF interference from the trolling motor affecting sonar units and other electronics will be more significant. If the fuse is blown the wiring error should be found and addressed prior to replacing the fuse. The replacement fuse should be 3 amps or less. An intact fuse does not imply correct rigging; significant damage can be done by incorrect wiring without approaching 3 amps of current.
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.
WARNING
For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller is in the water. If installing a lead wire plug, observe proper polarity and follow instructions in your boat owner’s manual.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES IN SERIES
(IF REQUIRED FOR YOUR MOTOR)
24-Volt Systems

Two 12-volt batteries are required. The batteries must be wired in series, only as directed in the wiring diagram, to provide 24 volts.

1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on “0”).
2. Connect a connector cable to the positive ( + ) terminal of battery 1 and to the negative ( – ) terminal of battery 2.
3. Connect positive ( + ) red motor lead to positive ( + ) terminal on battery 2.

*This diagram is for reference only and may differ from your actual motor.

MOUNT INSTALLATION

TOOLS AND RESOURCES REQUIRED:

• Phillips Screw Driver
• Drill • 9/32” Drill Bit
• 7/16” Box End Wrench
• A second person to help with the installation

1. Before you proceed, determine the desired mounting location for the motor. It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the center line of the boat as possible as seen below.
   CAUTION: Make sure the motor is mounted on a level surface and is not connected to a power source.
   
   
2. Verify the area under the chosen mounting location is clear and safe to drill through.
3. Place the motor on top of the desired mounting location while it is in the stowed position (for stow and deploy instructions, see “Stowing and Deploying the Motor” on p. 11).
4. Verify the motor rest is positioned far enough beyond the edge of the boat so that the motor clears all obstructions while deploying and stowing the motor.
   
5. Deploy the motor and remove the motor assembly from the mount by loosening the Steering Tension Knob and opening the door.
   WARNING:
   When raising or lowering motor, keep fingers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.
   
   
6. Position the mount again in the stowed position.
7. Temporarily remove the Phillips screws that fasten the motor rest to the mounting bracket and remove the motor rest to expose the motor mounting hole pattern.
   
8. Determine the mounting hole pattern you wish to use from the illustration to the right. Using the mounting holes in the mount as your template, mark the top deck of the boat with a pencil or an erasable marker.
9. Remove the mount from the deck of the boat and drill the holes that you marked in the previous step using a 9/32” drill bit and drill. Be careful not to damage any wiring or critical features that may exist under the surface you are drilling through.
10. Place the mount on the deck of the boat again and verify the hold down strap is positioned 15 ¾” from the front of the bow mount as shown in the diagram.
    
11. Fasten the mount to the deck of the boat using the supplied ¼” – 20 X 2” bolts, washers and nuts. Tighten the stainless mount hardware securely but slowly to the deck of the boat using a 7/16” box end wrench. Tightening the stainless hardware too fast may result in galling and or seizing of the bolts and nuts.
12. Reinstall the motor rest using the six original ¼” Phillips screws.
13. Reinstall the motor assembly into the mount and securely tighten the steering tension knob.

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.

Reference:

United States Code of Federal Regulations: 33 CFR 183 – Boats and Associated Equipment ABYC E-11: AC and DC Electrical Systems on Boats

CONDUCTOR GAUGE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER SIZING TABLE

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 signifi cantly 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 off er a wide selection of chargers to fi t 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 fi re 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.

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 lead to positive ( + ) terminal on battery 2.
   c. Connect negative ( – ) black 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 connection tight and solid to battery terminals.

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 fl at 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.

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR

The propeller tip must be submerged at least 12” to avoid churning or agitation of surface water.

1. With the motor deployed, firmly grasp the outer shaft or control head and hold it steady.
2. Loosen the depth adjustment knob 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 depth adjustment knob to secure the motor in place.

ADJUSTING THE STEERING CABLE

The AutoPilot Indicator on the Mount will also be illuminated when AutoPilot is engaged.

Momentary

In Momentary Motor Operation, the propeller will only run while downward force is applied to the Momentary button. The Momentary button is on the Toe End of the Heel/Toe Steering pedal. Applying downward pressure to the Momentary button will turn the propeller on. The motor will then run at the speed set by the Speed Knob or remote. Removing downward force to the Momentary button will turn the propeller off. No indicator light is associated with the Momentary button. The Momentary button functions very similar to the Prop ON/OFF button.

Heel/Toe Steering

Push the Toe End of the Foot Pedal down to turn right and push the Heel End of the Foot Pedal down to turn left. The position and direction of the Control Head directly corresponds to the position of the motor. You must use your foot on the pedal to control the steering direction during manual operation. The direction of the motor can also be controlled with the remote.

Steering in Reverse

The propeller always turns in the forward direction. You can reverse the direction of thrust by turning the motor 180°.

AUTOPILOT

AUTOPILOT CONTROLS

Your Terrova may be purchased with factory installed AutoPilot.
The Minn Kota AutoPilot™ uses a magnetic compass and 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. If your motor is installed with AutoPilot, it may be controlled with the Foot Pedal, or if equipped with CoPilot receiver, the CoPilot remote, or i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote depending on your motor. Be sure to verify how AutoPilot is controlled on your motor if applicable. If your motor is installed with either i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link, please refer to the applicable owner’s manual online for additional information on AutoPilot.

NOTICE: The AutoPilot button on the Terrova Foot Pedal will only work if your Terrova motor comes with AutoPilot already installed on your motor. If your motor does not already have this feature this button will be non-functioning.

AutoPilot

AutoPilot uses an internal compass to provide heading lock. When AutoPilot is on, it keeps the motor pointed in the same compass direction. If a manual steering correction is made, AutoPilot locks onto the new compass heading to which the boat was steered. This method of heading tracking does not take into account external forces such as a side wind or currents, which can allow side drift.

CAUTION

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.

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.

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.

When 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 AutoPilot Indicator will no longer be illuminated.

CONTROLLING AUTOPILOT

Toggle AutoPilot On/Off

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.
Turn off AutoPilot to stop the motor. If AutoPilot is left on, the steering motor will shut off automatically after 10 seconds. The motor should not be stored in this condition for long periods as power is still being applied to all electronics. Always turn AutoPilot off and disconnect your motor from the battery when storing your boat.

1. While the motor is running, AutoPilot can be turned on by pressing the AutoPilot button located on the Foot Pedal, CoPilot remote, or using either the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote.
2. While AutoPilot is on, drive the boat as desired.
3. To turn AutoPilot off, press the AutoPilot button again.
   

NOTICE: After steering to a new direction, there is a short delay before the direction is locked in to allow the compass to stabilize. When broad speed changes are made, the AutoPilot heading may change slightly. This is normal.

SPOT-LOCK

HOW SPOT-LOCK WORKS

Spot-Lock uses a single point of reference that is recorded when the Spot-Lock button is pressed. The reference point is a set of GPS coordinates that are captured at the location of the motor at the moment the button is pressed. This point is recorded and can be saved into one of the Spot-Lock memory locations. Spot-Lock works by recognizing th GPS coordinates and will automatically navigate the boat to keep it at the Spot-Lock location. If i-Pilot Link sees the motor is not positioned at the Spot-Lock location, it will control motor speed and direction in an attempt to keep the motor on the Spot-Lock. For more specific directions on how to use Spot Lock, please refer to either the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link Manual.

NOTICE: The Spot-Lock button on the Terrova Foot Pedal will only work if your Terrova motor comes with Spot-Lock already installed on your motor. If your motor does not already have this feature this button will be non-functioning.

NOTICE: Spot-Lock is based on the location of the motor, not on the location or direction of the boat. Outside forces such as wind and current will cause the boat to move. Spot-Lock will navigate to maintain the motor on the Spot-Lock location regardless of the position of the boat.

WARNING

Watch for a turning propeller when working with Spot- Lock. The propeller will automatically turn on when Spot-Lock is engaged, even if the engagement is accidental. A turning propeller can cause injury. The propeller will turn “on” for Spot-Lock and regardless of the Prop Auto On setting used on the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link navigational system.

CONTROLLING SPOT-LOCK

Toggle Spot-Lock On/Off

While the motor is running, Spot-Lock can be turned on by pressing the Spot-Lock button located on the Foot Pedal, a Micro Remote remote, or using either the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote.

NOTICE: If the Spot-Lock button is accidentally pressed, press the Spot-Lock button again to cancel Spot-Lock.

NOTICE: Pressing any button on the foot pedal, or manually steering the motor with the foot pedal will disengage Spot-Lock. Manually steering or adjusting the Prop Speed with the Remote will also cancel Spot-Lock.

FEATURES

MOUNT INSTALLATION

TOOLS AND RESOURCES REQUIRED: 

• #3 Phillips Screw Driver
• Drill
• 9/32” Drill Bit
• 7/16” Box End Wrench
• A second person to help with the installation

1. Remove the four sideplate screws. Remove the right sideplate and swing the left sideplate out and away from the base extrusion.
2. Place the motor on the bow of the boat in the deployed position.
   1. We recommend that the motor be mounted as close to the centerline of the boat as possible.
   2. Make sure that the area under the mounting location is clear and unobstructed for drilling and accessible for you to attach nuts and washers.
   3. Make sure the mount is positioned so that the shaft is out beyond the rub rail of the boat by 1-½”. The lower unit, as it is lowered into the water or raised into the boat, must not encounter any obstructions.
      CAUTION: Make sure the motor is mounted on a level surface and is not connected to
      a power source. Use the rubber washers to create a level surface if necessary.
3. Once in position, mark four of the twelve holes (two on each side) provided in the bow mount base for drilling. If possible, use the four holes that are farthest apart. Drill through the marked holes using the 9/32” drill bit.
4. Mount the plate to the bow using the provided bolts, nuts, and washers.
5. Replace the sideplates and sideplate screws.

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 qualifi ed marine technician. The following specifi cations 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 qualifi ed 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.

Reference:
United States Code of Federal Regulations: 33 CFR 183 – Boats and Associated Equipment ABYC E-11: AC and DC Electrical Systems on Boats

CONDUCTOR GAUGE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER SIZING TABLE 

This conductor and circuit breaker sizing table is only valid for the following assumptions: 1

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.

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.

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 signifi cantly 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 off er a wide selection of chargers to fi t 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 fi re 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 fi nd 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.

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.
   1. Connect a connector cable to the positive ( + ) terminal of battery 1 and to the negative ( – ) terminal of battery 2.
   2. Connect positive ( + ) red motor lead to positive ( + ) terminal on battery 2.
   3. 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.

MOTOR WIRING DIAGRAM

NOTE: This is a universal, multi-voltage diagram. Double check your motor’s voltage for proper connections. Over-Current Protection Devices not shown in this illustration.

USING & ADJUSTING THE MOTOR

STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR
When raising or lowering the motor, keep fi ngers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.

1. Loosen the depth collar screw.
2. Push Deploy-Assist Lever down.
3. Push motor out.
4. Tighten the depth collar screw.

TO DEPLOY THE MOTOR
Loosen the Dept Collar screw, then push fi rmly 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 fi t that completely captures the collar.

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. Turn off the AutoPilot switch to stop the motor. If the switch is left on, the steering motor will shut off automatically after 10 seconds. The motor should not be sored in this condition for long periods as power is still being applied to all eletronics. Always turn the Autopilot switch off and disconnect your motor from the battery when storing your boat.
3. This unit uses a magnetic compass to detect direction of travel. The compass can be adversely aff ected 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.

NOTE: Always turn the AutoPilot switch off and disconnect your motor from the battery when storing your boat.

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, fi rmly 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 & ADJUSTING THE MOTOR

INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER
An external sonar transducer can be installed onto the motor as shown.

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.
For compatibility and more information on Universal Sonar 2, please visit minnkotamotors.com/us2.

ACCESSORY RECOMMENDATIONS:
Minn Kota Transducer Mounting Kit (MKR-15)

USING THE FOOT PEDAL

All the controls in the foot pedal are easy to operate by either foot or hand. A light touch is all that is necessary.

MOMENTARY
A toe touch on the momentary button turns the propeller on. Let up and the propeller stops.

MOMENTARY/CONSTANT (MOM/CON) SWITCH
When the switch is in CON position the motor will run continuously without keeping your foot on the pedal. Slide the switch to momentary (MOM) to again operate the motor with toe touch.

RIGHT/LEFT
Place your foot in the center of the steering pedal, rocking to the right steers right. Rocking to the left steers left. The heel of your foot can also be placed on the deck of the boat. Using your heel to pivot on, depress and hold the
center momentary to turn the motor on or depress and hold the left or right side of the pedal to steer left or right.

NOTE: The steering system is designed to turn your motor 360°. Be careful to avoid over-wrapping the coil cord around the composite shaft.

FORWARD/REVERSE
The propeller always turns in the forward direction. You can reverse the direction of thrust by turning the motor 180˚.

SPEED CONTROL
The speed selector is the calibrated sliding bar located on the right side of the foot pedal. The speed selector provides variable speed control with the built in pulse modulation system. Use your hand or foot to slide the bar forward to increase speed. Draw the bar back to decrease speed. The slider also contains a roller to aid in fine speed adjustment. Slide your foot over the roller with light down pressure to adjust speed. The motor may not start turning until the speed slider reaches speeds 1 or 2. This depends on manufacturing tolerances and if the CoPilot accessory is installed.

NON-CARPETED BOAT USE
Enclosed with your motor are four (4) rubber bumpers. If the foot pedal is to be used primarily on non-carpeted surfaces, insert the rubber bumpers into the keyhole slots on the underside of the pedal. Slide the bumpers into the slot until they are locked into position.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

PROPELLER REPLACEMENT

TOOLS AND RESOURCES REQUIRED: 

• Box End Wrench
  • 1/2” for motors with 70 lbs thrust or lower.
  • 9/16” for motors with 80 lbs thrust or higher.
• Screwdriver (optional)

CAUTION:
Disconnect the motor from the battery before beginning any prop work or maintenance.

NOTE: The propeller on your motor may diff er from the one pictured.

1. Disconnect the motor from all sources of power prior to changing the propeller.
2. Hold the propeller and loosen the prop nut with pliers or a wrench.
3. Remove the prop nut and washer. If the drive pin is sheared or broken, you will need to hold the shaft stationary with a blade screwdriver 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 the new propeller with the drive pin.
6. Install the prop washer and prop nut.
7. Tighten the prop nut 1/4 turn past snug [25-35 inch lbs.] Do not over tighten as this can damage the prop.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. After use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater. This series of motors is not equipped for saltwater exposure.
2. The composite shaft requires periodic cleaning and lubrication for proper retraction and deployment. A coating of an aqueous based silicone spray will improve operation.
3. The propeller must be inspected and cleaned from 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.
4. Verify the prop nut is secure each time the motor is used.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Keep battery terminals clean with fi ne sandpaper or emery cloth.
8. The propeller is designed to provide weed free operation with very high effi ciency. 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 fi ne sandpaper.

TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR

1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:
   1. Check battery connections for proper polarity.
   2. Make sure terminals are clean and corrosion free. Use fi ne sandpaper or emery cloth to clean terminals.
   3. Check battery water level. Add water if needed.
2. Motor loses power after a short running time:
   1. Check battery charge. If low, restore to full charge.
3. You experience prop vibration during normal operation:
   1. Remove and rotate the prop 180°. See removal instructions in the Propeller Replacement Section.
4. Experiencing interference with your fi shfi nder:
