    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.

  • Page 18: Selecting The Correct Batteries

    Lithium Ion batteries, manufacturers may recommend storing in a semi-charged state and charging fully prior to use. If using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, Minn Kota recommends using a separate battery/batteries for your Minn Kota trolling motor. Always check with the battery manufacturer for specific maintenance, care and storage instructions. Minn Kota also offers a wide selection of chargers to fit your charging needs.

  • Page 19: Connecting The Batteries In Series

    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.
