BATTERY INFORMATION:The motor will operate with any deep cycle marine 12 volt battery [24 volts require two]. For best results,

use a deep cycle MINN KOTA marine battery with at least an 100 ampere hour rating. As a general onthe water estimate, your 12 volt motor will draw one ampere per hour and your 24 volt motor will draw.75 ampere per hour for each pound of thrust produced when the motor is running on high. The actualampere draw is subject to your particular environmental conditions and operation requirements.

Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will significantly improve the battery life. Failure to rechargelead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. For bestresults, use a variable rate MINN KOTA charger.

NOTE: Do not use your crank battery as one of the supply batteries; crank batteries are not built for deepdischarge service.

AUTOPILOT™ CONTROLS:The MINNKOTA AutoPilot uses a magnetic compass and a microprocessor chip to keep the trolling

motor pointed in the direction you want to go. Each time the wind or water current moves the boat offcourse, the AutoPilot senses the change and steers itself back to the original heading. The AutoPilotdirection is set every time a steering change is made. To change direction, steer until the control headpoints to the desired course. The AutoPilot will pull the bow of the boat around and correct automati-cally until the boat is moving in the direction you chose.

The AutoPilot push button on the control head turns the automatic steering on or off.1. This unit has an automatic steering shutdown for safety. In conditions where an obstruction prevents

the trolling motor from turning, or in extremely windy conditions, the automatic steering may stop. Anysteering input will reset the system to normal.

2. When the AutoPilot switch is on and the trolling motor is pulled out of the water to the stow position,the steering motor will continue to run. Turn off the AutoPilot switch to stop the motor. If the switch isleft on, the steering motor will shut off automatically after 10 seconds. The motor should not be storedin this condition for long periods as power is still being applied to all electronics. Always turn theAutoPilot switch off and disconnect your motor from the battery when storing your boat.

3 This unit uses a magnetic compass to detect direction of travel. The compass can be adversely affect-ed by magnets or large, ferrous metal objects near ( within 12" of ) the trolling motor control head.

4. After steering to a new direction, there is a short delay before the direction is locked in to allow thecompass to stabilize.

5. Obstructions on the propeller may cause excessive vibration of the motor head. This vibration cancause the compass to wander and erratic steering to occur. Clear the obstruction to return the motorto normal operation.

6. When broad speed changes are made, the motor heading may change slightly. This is normal.

GENERAL OPERATIONUsing the CoPilot with a corded foot pedal

• When the MOM-CON switch is in the MOM position, the angler may begin using the remote at any time.• As soon as any remote button is pressed, the initial speed setting will be approximately the same as the foot pedal’s speed con-

trol position. However, the prop will not automatically turn on until the remote’s prop on/off button is pressed.• Pressing the corded foot pedal momentary switch or steering switches will override the remote and receiver function and con-

trol will automatically go to the corded foot pedal. The prop speed will also revert to the current position of the speed control onthe foot pedal.

Using the CoPilot without a corded foot pedal• Some anglers will prefer to have the deck completely clear of any unnecessary cables and foot pedals. When using the Copilot

in this manner, the receiver will always react to any commands from the remote.

When the foot pedal’s MOM-CON switch is in the CON position or when the Momentary On switch is held,the receiver WILL NOT RESPOND to any remote commands. When remote commands are received, thereceiver will emit an audio chirp. This will indicate that the remote is functioning properly although a footpedal switch is active and is overriding the remote.

WARNING - To prevent personal injury or property damage, always install a 60 amp manual-reset cir-cuit breaker in line with the trolling motor positive (+) lead(s) as close to the battery as possible. To order aMKR-19, 60 amp circuit breaker, contact your local service center or call Minn Kota at 1-800-227-6433.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

• The five buttons are for PROPON/OFF, STEER LEFT, STEER RIGHT, INCREASE SPEED AND DECREASESPEED.

• Pressing the PROP ON/OFF button will turn the propeller on or off. The button does not need to be held down.(Press the button once to turn the motor ON; press button a second time to turn it OFF.)

• Pressing either STEERING button will cause the motor to turn in the desired direction as long as the button is helddown. If a steering button is held for more than seven seconds, the steering will automatically stop.

• Pressing and releasing the INCREASE SPEEDor DECREASE SPEED buttons will cause the speed to increaseor decrease by one level. The speed is adjustable from level 0-10. At level 0, the prop will not turn.

• An audible beep is heard for each step change in speed. Attempting to go higher than speed 10 or lower thanspeed 0 will result in the speed not changing and no beep will be heard. See the Audio Mode section for moreinformation.

• If the receiver senses no foot pedal or remote operation for 1 hour, the remote speed setting is automatically setto zero. This could help prevent unintentional activation of the propeller if the prop on /off remote button is inad-vertently pressed or bumped while in storage.

BATTERY REPLACEMENTTHE REPLACEMENT BATTERY MUST BE A MODEL CR2032 COIN CELL TYPE. IT IS STRONGLYRECOMMENDED THAT A NAME BRAND BATTERY IS USED.

To replace the battery, follow these steps:1.) Temporarily ground yourself by touching a grounded metal object in order to discharge any static elec-

tricity in your body.2.) Remove the four screws on the bottom of the remote case.3.) Separate the case halves to access the circuit board.4.) Pull back the retaining fingers of the battery holder to remove the battery (underside of circuit board.) 5.) Install the new battery with the positive (+) side of the battery facing up (away from the circuit board).

Ensure battery is snapped securely in place.6.) Reassemble the remote. Note that the alignment peg in the remote case must line up with the cor-

responding alignment hole in the circuit board. Also note that the keypad must be positioned so thatthe buttons are over the end of the circuit board opposite from the alignment peg and hole. Reinstallthe four case screws and tighten them as required.

TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION:

Transducer cables should be routed through the coilcable and handle as shown. Leave enough slack forproper deployment and retraction. Mount transduceraccording to transducer instructions.

NOTE: A transducer is not included with your trollingmotor.

TRANSPORTATION:

In conditions where the stowed motor is subject to highlevels of shock or vibration, take care to provide asecure stow. Move the depth collar snug against thesteering motor and tighten.

Drill a small hole in rib

Leave slack

MAINTENANCE:1. After use in salt or brackish water these units should

be rinsed with fresh water, then wiped down with acloth dampened with an aqueous based silicone spraysuch as Armorall®.

2. The propeller must be cleaned of weeds and fishingline. The line can get behind the prop, wear away theseals and allow water to enter the motor. Check thisafter every 20 hours of operation.

3. To prevent accidental damage during trailering or stor-age, disconnect the battery whenever the motor is offof the water. For prolonged storage, lightly coat allmetal parts with silicone spray.

4. For maximum performance, restore battery to fullcharge before each use. Unless you are using a powerpanel or MINN KOTA battery charger, disconnect thetrolling motor when charging the battery.

5. The composite shaft requires periodic cleaning and lubrication for proper retraction and deployment. Acoating of Armorall® will provide “like new” operation.

6. Replace the sacrificial anode / nut and washer after2000 hours of run time or 1.5 seasons, which evercomes first. See Propeller Replacement, steps 1 - 2and 5 - 6.

Your CoPilot is now installed and ready for operation!

Adding / Removing remotes

• To “learn” the ID number of additional remotes, follow these steps:1.) Press and hold the LEARN button located on the side of the receiver (receiver will emit a con-

tinuous tone.)A small blunt object must be used to depress the LEARN button ( pen or screwdriver.)

2.) Press any button on the remote (receiver will beep 4 times confirming that it has “learned” the IDnumber of the remote and that the programming is valid and complete.)

• “Re-learning” the ID number of the same remote will not overwrite previously “learned” remotes.• If the receiver has “learned” the ID number of ten remotes, “learning” an eleventh remote will eraseor over write the first “learned” remote.• The CoPilot allows the angler to erase all stored remote ID numbers from the receiver. To do so, fol-low these steps:

1.) Remove power from the receiver by unplugging the receiver from the motor.2.) Press and hold the LEARN button and power up the receiver by plugging it back into the motor. Hold

the LEARN button down for 10 seconds. During this time the receiver audio will emit a warble sound,slowly transition to a constant beep and then shut off.

3.) Release the Learn button and the receiver will reboot. The receiver will emit a 2 second long beepindicating memory is empty. This audio pattern will occur each time the receiver powers up until aremote ID number is learned.

anode/nut with a pliers or a wrench. 2. Remove anode/nut and washer. If the

drive pin is sheared/broken, you will need to hold the shaft steadywith a screwdriver blade pressed into the slot on the end of the shaft.

3. Turn the old prop to horizontal ( asillustrated ) and pull it straight off. If drive pin falls out, push it back in.

4. Align new propeller with drive pin. 5. Install prop washer and anode/nut . 6. Tighten anode/nut 1/4 turn past snug

or to 25-35 inch lbs. Be careful, overtightening the anode/nut can damagethe prop.

NOTE: The weedless wedge propeller is designed to provideabsolute weed free operation with very high efficiency. Tomaintain top performance, the leading edge of the bladesmust be kept smooth. If this edge is rough or nicked,restore to smooth by sanding with fine sandpaper.

MOTOR TROUBLESHOOTING:1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:

• Check battery connections for proper polarity.• Make sure that the terminals are clean and corrosion free.• Check the battery water level. Add water if needed.

2. Motor loses power after a short running time:• Check battery/batteries charge, if low, restore to full charge.

3. Motor does not steer.• Make sure the drive/depth collar is tight andfully engaged with the drive motor.

4. Motor does not respond to CoPilot commands.• Make sure the cable connector plugs at the drive mount are secure.

5. Control head vibrates during normal operation: • Remove and rotate the prop 180°. See removal instructions in prop section.

6. No automatic steering.• Check that the AutoPilot switch is ON.• Turn the AutoPilot switch OFF then On to reset the system.

7. Erratic automatic steering.• Observe motor head for excessive vibration. Inspect prop and prop shaft for damage.• Make sure the motor is mounted within 5°of level. The internal compass must be level to rotate freely.

Installing the rod mount

•The rod mount is designed for installation on any area of the rod grip, especially the area forward of the reel.(See the figures above.)

• Spinning reel users may want to install the mount on the top of the rod to allow thumb operation of theremote.

• Bait casting reel users who “palm” the reel may install the mount on the side of the rod to allow remote opera-tion with the index or middle finger.

• The mount should be positioned on the rod so that the unlocking latch on the bracket is toward the rod tip.1). Position the rod mount in the desired location on the fishing rod, holding it in place with your thumb.2). Insert (2) tie-down straps through the rod mount and cinch down around the rod (place the locking

head of the tie-down strap to either side of the rod mount; do not place in the area below the remote.)3). Trim the excess tie down strap with a side cutter or scissors.

• To attach the remote to the mount, slide the remote into the mount from the rear of the bracket. Ensure thatthe slides on the mount engage the slots on the sides of the remote. Slide the remote into the mount until itsnaps into the locked position.

• To release the remote from the mount, press down on the unlocking latch while simultaneously sliding theremote out of the mount.

• During periods of non-use, we recommend that the remote be inserted into the mount with the buttons facingdown. This will help to ensure that there are no unintentional button presses while the rod is in storage.
