Routing Universal Sonar & i-Pilot Link Cables
Your trolling motor is pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. For compatibility and more information on
Universal Sonar, please visit minnkotamotors.com. Your trolling motor will also be pre-installed with either i-Pilot or i-Pilot
Link. To learn more about the GPS capabilities available with your i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link navigation system, please refer to the
corresponding Owner's Manual by visiting minnkotamotors.com.
Both the Universal Sonar and i-Pilot Link features require cables to be connected to an output device. These connections are
present on the trolling motor below the Control Head. The i-Pilot system does not need an external wired connection. If only one
connection is present, it is because your motor is equipped with the i-Pilot system. If only a single connection is present, it is to
connect the Universal Sonar. If two cables are present, one is to connect the Universal Sonar, and the other is to connect the
i-Pilot Link connection. Please follow the Minn Kota recommendations on routing the cables to optimize mobility and maximize
functionality. The routing will be the same regardless of the number of cables present. Use the following instructions to properly
route cables.
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.
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.
