BATTERY WIRING & INSTALLATION
BOAT RIGGING & PRODUCT INSTALLATION
For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when
rigging your boat. Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualifi ed marine technician. The following specifi cations are for
general guidelines only:
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. If your wire
extension length is more than 25 feet, we recommend that you contact a qualifi ed marine technician.
An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) must be used. Coast Guard requirements dictate that
each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse. The type
(voltage and current rating) of the fuse or circuit breaker must be sized accordingly to the trolling motor used. The table below gives
recommended guidelines for circuit breaker sizing.

This conductor and circuit breaker sizing table is only valid for the following assumptions:
1. No more than 3 conductors are bundled together inside of a sheath or conduit outside of engine spaces.
2. Each conductor has 105° C temp rated insulation.
3. No more than 27% voltage drop allowed at full motor power based on published product power requirements.
*Wire Extension Length refers to the distance from the batteries to the motor leads.
PUSH-TO-TEST BATTERY METER
This motor is equipped with a "push-to-test" battery meter. The LED light provides an accurate
display of the remaining charge in the battery. It is only accurate when the motor is off .
The meter reads as:
• One light indicates recharge.
• Two lights indicate low charge.
• Three lights indicate good charge.
• Four lights indicate full charge.
*Battery meter will not be accurate when using lithium batteries.
