ADVANCED GPS NAVIGATION
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 a connection 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 dangle 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
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
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
Extension Cable will plug directly into any length of Ethernet cable.
NOTICE:
Minn Kota recommends routing the Ethernet
Cable or Ethernet Extension Cable through the Coil Cord
when making the Ethernet connection. The cables will
be installed from the Mount to the Control Head through
the Coil Cord and parallel to any Dual Spectrum CHIRP or
Built-in MEGA Down Imaging Cable. Bypassing the Coil
Cord when routing the Ethernet Cable or Ethernet Extension
Cable is not recommended.

CAUTION
Failure to follow the recommended wire routing for installed
features, 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. Do
not over-tighten cable ties as it may damage the wires.
