Routing Universal Sonar & i-Pilot Link Cables
Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. Universal Sonar is a 2D sonar transducer
with a temperature sensor that is integrated into the lower unit of the trolling motor. It has an operating frequency of 83/200
kHz. Connecting this transducer to a compatible fish finder* gives you a 2D sonar view of what is happening directly below your
trolling motor. The integrated design protects the transducer from underwater hazards, and prevents tangles and damage to the
transducer cables.
In certain situations, air bubbles may adhere to the surface of the Universal Sonar transducer, and effect the performance. If this
happens simply wipe the surface of the transducer with your finger.
All Universal Sonar motors are equipped with an internal bonding wire, incorrect rigging will cause sonar interference and can
damage your trolling motor, electronics and other boat accessories. Please refer to the Battery & Wiring Installation and Motor
Wiring Diagram sections of this manual for correct rigging instructions.
NOTE:
Universal Sonar only provides 2D sonar that operates at 83/200 kHz. It does not support imaging screens
that require higher frequencies such as 455 kHz or 800 kHz (Down Imaging, Side Imaging, etc.). Down Imaging (DI)
specific units are not compatible with Universal Sonar. See compatibility chart for a list of compatible fish finders at
minnkotamotors.com. *Requires an adapter that is sold separately. For a current list of compatible fish finders and the
correct adapter cable, please visit minnkotamotors.com.
Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. For compatibility and more information on
Universal Sonar, please visit minnkotamotors.com. Your trolling motor may 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.
To better identify cables present that exit the Control Head, refer to the diagrams below that detail what the Universal Sonar and
i-Pilot Link cable connectors look like.
