ROUTING THE ADVANCED GPS NAVIGATION CABLE
Your Minn Kota trolling motor and Humminbird fish finder communicate with each other to change the way you fish. Advanced GPS
Navigation offers a large array of features including controlling speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and the ability to record and retrace paths
on the water, all at your fingertips. To learn more about the GPS capabilities available with your new motor, please refer to the Advanced
GPS Navigation Owner's Manual by visiting minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.
The wireless remote and GPS controller make up the Advanced GPS Navigation system. A wireless remote comes paired to the controller
from the factory. The GPS controller contains a very sensitive compass and is where all GPS satellite and remote signals are received.
The GPS controller is located in the trolling motor Control Head and may be connected to a fish finder from an Accessory Cable that exits
the Control Head. If the Advanced GPS Navigation system will be used with a fish finder, the Ethernet link between the trolling motor and
the fish finder should be connected.
Considerations for Connecting and Routing Advanced GPS Navigation
If Advanced GPS Navigation is pre-installed on your trolling motor, one eight-pin Advanced GPS Ethernet Connector will exit the base of
the Control Head and rest just below the Control Head next to the Coil Cord. If the Advanced GPS Navigation on the trolling motor will
be used with a fish finder, an Ethernet Cable will need to be attached to the Advanced GPS Ethernet Connector below the Control Head.
Consider the distance between the trolling motor and the fish finder to determine how to complete the Ethernet connection.
ETHERNET CABLES
- Minn Kota provides one 30 ft Ethernet cable
motor equipped with Advanced GPS Navigation. The 30 ft Ethernet cable will accommodate a standard Ethernet connection for most
installations to a Humminbird fish finder and is "Apex and Solix Ready". If the distance between the trolling motor and Humminbird fish
finder is relatively small and a shorter cable is preferred, alternate cable lengths are available from humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com.
These options include:
• 10 ft -
(AS EC 10E - 10' Ethernet Cable -
• 15 ft -
(AS EC 15E - 15' Ethernet Cable -
• 20 ft -
(AS EC 20E - 20' Ethernet Cable -
Every length of Ethernet cable plugs directly into a Solix or Apex or directly into a Helix Adapter Cable.
HUMMINBIRD HELIX ADAPTER CABLES
720074-1) with every trolling motor equipped with Advanced GPS Navigation. If the Ethernet connection is being made between the
trolling motor and any Humminbird® Helix fish finder, the Helix Adapter Cable should be used. The Helix Adapter Cable directly connects
the Ethernet Cable to a Helix fish finder.
ETHERNET EXTENSION CABLES
not long enough to reach the fish finder, an Ethernet Extension cable should be used. The Ethernet Extension cable is available from
humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com
Ethernet Extension Cable will plug directly into any length of Ethernet cable.
NOTICE:
Minn Kota recommends routing the Ethernet Cable through the Coil Cord when making the Ethernet connection. The
cable will be installed from the Mount to the Control Head through the Coil Cord. Bypassing the Coil Cord when routing the Ethernet
Cable is not recommended.
