It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the centerline of the boat as possible. Ensure that the area under the mounting location is clear of anything that would prevent unobstructed drill and installation of nuts and washers. Make sure that when deployed, the shaft resides a minimum of 1 ½” from the boat rub rail. This can be done by measuring from X to X. This should be no less than XX.

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.

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. 10 AWG 50 Amp @ 12 VDC 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 ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. minnkotamotors.com | 9 deep cycle marine battery/batteries for your Minn Kota trolling motor. sELECTing THE CoRRECT bATTERiEs The motor will operate& with any lead acid, deep cycle marine 12 volt battery/batteries.

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.

ACCURACY The accuracy and responsiveness with which i-Pilot controls your boat is highly dependent upon many variables. Just a few of these variables and their general effects on responsiveness and accuracy are given below so that the behavior of the system can be understood. vARiAbLE EffECT Ratio of motor thrust to boat weight Excessive thrust on a smaller boat can cause i-Pilot to overcorrect. Not enough thrust on a large boat can cause i-Pilot to respond slowly. Wind Excessive wind and/or current can reduce i-Pilot’s positioning accuracy.

Since i-Pilot depends on GPS satellite signals for navigation, a minimum GPS signal level of one bar is required in order for GPS navigation controls to be enabled. Best results are achieved when a GPS signal level of four bars can be obtained. In simple terms, i-Pilot remembers and creates points to navigate your boat automatically. i-Pilot also uses a method of GPS navigation called arrival circles. These imaginary circles allow i-Pilot to understand when it has drifted away from a point and when it has arrived at a point. The size of the arrival circles vary depending on GPS signal strength, thus the greater the signal strength the smaller the arrival circles. TRACKs Tracks are made of many points that i-Pilot records when recording a track. The distance between these points varies based on GPS signal strength and the speed at which you record the track. When a track is played back, i-Pilot uses the track points and arrival circles to navigate the track. mEmoRY i-Pilot has the capability of storing up to six individual tracks (each two miles in length) and six individual Spot Lock locations. These locations are stored in memory even when power is removed from the system. Spot Lock and Track memory locations are separate from each other and they cannot over write each other. Memory locations are identified on the remote LCD with an icon shown as A, B, C, D, E or F.

This point is recorded and stored into one of the six memory locations when the Spot Lock button is pushed. Around the Spot Lock location i-Pilot uses an arrival circle to determine prop speed and direction. If i-Pilot sees it is within the circle, it will adjust the motor speed to zero. If i-Pilot sees it is outside of the circle, it will control motor speed in an attempt to get the boat back into the circle. ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. minnkotamotors.com | 25 23 sPoT LoCK EngAging sPoT LoCK 1.

There are distinct differences between the two AutoPilots and how they control your boat. 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. AdvAnCEd AUToPiLoT Advanced AutoPilot not only uses compass heading but also GPS signal data to correct for cross winds, current and other external forces to keep the boat on a straight line. When Advanced AutoPilot is turned on, it generates a set of GPS points in a straight track line in the heading direction. i-Pilot now navigates to each individual point on this track line. When the user steers to a new heading, a new track line of GPS points are laid down in the new heading direction. 28 | minnkotamotors.com 26 ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc.

Advanced AutoPilot AutoPilot wHiCH AUToPiLoT do i UsE And wHEn? With all the external variables, this question can be difficult to answer. Both AutoPilots have their benefits based on the type of fishing and bait presentation desired. Advanced AutoPilot will keep the boat on a true straight path in most conditions. When very extreme conditions exists such as very strong winds or current, the trolling motor may not have enough power to control the boat smoothly. In these extreme cases it may be best to use AutoPilot and let the boat move with the wind or current if the motor is not powerful enough to overcome it. AutoPilot helps you maintain a constant heading but does not compensate for wind or currents. Both Advanced AutoPilot and AutoPilot are valuable tools the fisherman can use for accurate and precise bait presentation. We highly recommend getting on the water and trying both Advanced AutoPilot and AutoPilot in various fishing situations and applications. With experimentation and time you will find which AutoPilot works best for you in a given situation. fooT PEdAL oPERATion • Advanced AutoPilot can be turned on by pressing the AP button on the foot pedal. • AutoPilot cannot be turned on by using the AP button on the pedal.

The distance between these points varies based on the speed of the boat and the GPS signal strength. The very first track point recorded is called the start. The last point recorded is called the end. i-Pilot sees a recorded track as a series of these track points. When a Track to Start or Track to End button is pushed, i-Pilot will navigate to the nearest track point. Once this nearest track point is reached, it will then follow the track points in sequence back to either the start or end based on which button was pressed. Once the end or start track point is reached, i-Pilot automatically exits from the Track to Start or Track to End function. During track playback, i-Pilot takes control over all steering functions; speed can be manually controlled or the Cruise Control function can also be used. The motor speed must be set high enough in order to stay on the track given wind, current and other external forces. i-Pilot can also pause the recording of a track. When the recording is paused, i-Pilot temporarily stops recording any new track points. When track recording is resumed, i-Pilot records new track points. Due to the nature of pausing a recording, there may be a large separation distance between two track points or two track points lying on top of one another where the pause occurred. This can cause erratic motor steering therefore it is very important to know where the pause button was pressed and to resume the recording just ahead of that location. If while paused, the separation distance exceeds a quarter mile, the recording will automatically stop. 30 | minnkotamotors.com 28 ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc.
