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 signifi cantly 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 off er a wide selection of chargers

to fi t your charging needs. If you are using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, we recommend that you use a separate

deep cycle marine battery/batteries for your Minn Kota trolling motor.

Advice Regarding Batteries:

• Never connect the (+) and the (–) terminals of the same 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 fi re 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 fi nd 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.

12 VOLT SYSTEMS:

1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on "OFF" or "0").

2. Connect positive ( + ) red lead to positive ( + ) battery terminal.

3. Connect negative ( – ) black lead to negative ( – ) battery terminal.

4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller is in the water.

CAUTION:

For safety reasons, disconnect the motor from the battery/batteries when the motor is not in use or while the

battery/batteries are being charged.
