Connecting to Power

To avoid possible personal injury or property damage, the circuit breaker must be in the off position before you
connect the power cables from the trolling motor.
1 Route the power cable to the breaker panel or the location where you plan to install the breaker.
2 If necessary, extend the power cable using the appropriate wire gauge based on the length of the extension
(Power Cable Extension,
3 Install a trolling motor plug and receptacle rated for 60 A or greater where the power cable enters a bulkhead
(optional).
4 Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker rated for 60 A (continuous).
5 If necessary, connect the circuit breaker to a 60 A, 24 or 36 Vdc power source.
Power Cable Extension
You can extend the power cable using the appropriate gauge of wire based on the length of the extension.
Power cable extensions must use single-conductor wire, with a minimum 75°C (167°F) insulation, that is not
bundled, not sheathed, and not run through conduit. If you are using wire with 105°C (221°F) insulation or better,
you can bundle up to three conductors inside a sheath or conduit outside of engine spaces.
When installing the power cable extension, you must follow industry standards and best practices.
