MINN KOTA RIPTIDE ULTERRA Instructions D'installation page 17

Routing i-Pilot Link Cables
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.
The i-Pilot Link features require a cable to be connected to an output device. This connection is present on the trolling motor
below the Control Head, if installed. The i-Pilot system does not need an external wired connection. If only one connection
is present, your motor is equipped with the i-Pilot Link system. If no connections are present, your motor may or may not be
installed with i-Pilot. 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.
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.

a. Place the motor in the deployed position.
b. Locate the i-Pilot Link cable, at the base of the
Control Head.
CAUTION
Not following the recommended wire routing for the
i-Pilot Link cable, 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.
c. The i-Pilot Link cable should be fed all the way
through the Coil Cord. They should exit the Coil
Cord at the bottom of the Coil Cord, where it
connects to the Mount.

NOTE: After the i-Pilot Link Cable exits the Coil
Cord, it should be routed through an established
routing system on the boat, in an area with minimal
interference. Inspect the selected route carefully to
ensure that there are no sharp edges, obstacles, or
obstructions that may damage the cables.
