THANK YOU

Thank you for choosing Minn Kota. We believe that you should spend more time fi shing and less time positioning your boat.

That’s why we build the smartest, toughest, most intuitive trolling motors on the water. Every aspect of a Minn Kota trolling motor is thought out and rethought until it’s good enough to bear our name. Countless hours of research and testing provide you the

Minn Kota advantage that can truly take you “Anywhere. Anytime.” We don’t believe in shortcuts. We are Minn Kota. And we are never done helping you catch more fi sh.

REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR RECEIPT AND IMMEDIATELY REGISTER YOUR TROLLING MOTOR.

Please thoroughly read this user manual. Follow all instructions and heed all safety and cautionary notices below. Use of this motor is only permitted for persons that have read and understood these user instructions. Minors may use this motor only under adult supervision.

ATTENTION: Never run the motor out of the water, as this may result in injuries from the rotating propeller. The motor should be disconnected from the power source when it is not in use or is off the water. When connecting the power-supply cables of the motor to the battery, ensure that they are not kinked or subject to chafe and route them in such a way that persons cannot trip over them. Before using the motor make sure that the insulation of the power cables is not damaged. Disregarding these safety precautions may result in electric shorts of battery(s) and/or motor. Always disconnect motor from battery(s) before cleaning or checking the propeller. Avoid submerging the complete motor as water may enter the lower unit through control head and shaft. If the motor is used while water is present in the lower unit considerable damage to the motor can occur. This damage will not be covered by warranty.

CAUTION: Take care that neither you nor other persons approach the turning propeller too closely, neither with body parts nor with objects. The motor is powerful and may endanger or injure you or others. While the motor is running watch out for persons swimming and for fl oating objects.

Persons whose ability to run the motor or whose reactions are impaired by alcohol, drugs, medication, or other substances are not permitted to use this motor. This motor is not suitable for use in strong currents. The constant noise pressure level of the motor during use is less than 70dB(A). The overall vibration level does not exceed 2,5m/sec2.

LOCATING YOUR SERIAL NUMBER

Your Minn Kota 11-character serial number is very important. It helps to determine the specifi c model and year of manufacture. When contacting

Consumer Service or registering your product, you will need to know your product’s serial number. We recommend that you write the serial number down in the space provided below so that you have it available for future reference.

The serial number on your Maxxum is located near the momentary switch underneath the side of the foot pedal.

INSTALLATION OF THE BOW-MOUNT

We recommend that you have another person help with this procedure.

1. For installation, DO NOT REMOVE THE SHAFT/MOTOR FROM THE BOWGUARD. The Bowguard spring is under tension and must always remain secured.

2. Place the mount, with the motor in the fully stowed (fl at) position, on the deck of the boat:

• The motor should be mounted as close to the centerline of the boat as possible when it is deployed (see illustration).

• Make sure bow area under the chosen location is clear and unobstructed for drilling.

• Make sure the motor rest is positioned far enough beyond the edge of the boat. The motor, as it is lowered into the water or raised into the boat, must not encounter any obstructions

3. Once in position, determine which bolt pattern to use (see below), mark at least 4 of the holes (2 on each side) in the bow plate and drill through with a 9/32” drill bit.

Either pattern may be used when installing the motor.

- Pattern 1: Minnkota 3” bolt pattern standard motors.

- Pattern 2: Alternate 4” bolt pattern commonly used.

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.

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 5% 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 trolling motor leads.

BATTERY WIRING & INSTALLATION

SELECTING THE CORRECT BATTERIES

The motor will operate with any lead acid, deep cycle marine 12 volt battery/batteries. For best results, use a deep cycle, marine battery with at least a 105 ampere hour rating. Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will ensure having battery power when you need it, and will signifi cantly improve the battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. Use a multi-stage charger to avoid overcharging. We off er a wide selection of chargers to fi t your charging needs. If you are using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, we recommend that you use a separate deep cycle marine battery/batteries for your Minn Kota trolling motor.

Advice Regarding Batteries:

• Never connect the (+) and the (–) terminals of the same battery together. Take care that no metal object can fall onto the battery and short the terminals. This would immediately lead to a short and extreme fi re danger.

• It is highly recommended that a circuit breaker or fuse be used with this trolling motor. Refer to “Conductor Gauge and Circuit

Breaker Sizing Table” in the previous section to fi nd the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse for your motor. For motors requiring a 60-amp breaker, the Minn Kota MKR-19 60-amp circuit breaker is recommended.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES

12 VOLT SYSTEMS:

1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on “OFF” or “0”).

2. Connect positive ( + ) red lead to positive ( + ) battery terminal.

3. Connect negative ( – ) black lead to negative ( – ) battery terminal.

4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller is in the water.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES IN SERIES (IF REQUIRED FOR YOUR MOTOR)

battery/batteries are being charged.

1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on “0”).

2. Two 12 volt batteries are required.

3. The batteries must be wired in series, only as directed in wiring diagram, to provide 24 volts.

a. Connect a connector cable to the positive ( + ) terminal of battery 1 and to the negative ( – ) terminal of battery 2.

b. Connect positive ( + ) red motor lead to positive ( + ) terminal on battery 2.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

• After use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater. This series of motors is not equipped for saltwater exposure.

• The composite shaft requires periodic cleaning and lubrication for proper retraction and deployment. A coating of an aqueous based silicone spray will improve operation.

• The propeller must be inspected and cleaned from weeds and fi shing line after every use.

Fishing line and weeds can get behind the prop, damage the seals and allow water to enter the motor.

• Verify the prop nut is secure each time the motor is used.

• To prevent accidental damage during transportation or storage, disconnect the battery whenever the motor is off of the water.

For prolonged storage, lightly coat all metal parts with an aqueous based silicone spray.

• For maximum battery life recharge the battery(s) as soon as possible after use. For maximum motor performance restore battery to full charge prior to use.

• Keep battery terminals clean with fi ne sandpaper or emery cloth.

• The propeller is designed to provide weed free operation with very high effi ciency. To maintain this top performance, the leading edge of the blades must be kept smooth. If they are rough or nicked from use, restore to smooth by sanding with fi ne sandpaper.

TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR

1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:

• Check battery connections for proper polarity.

• Make sure terminals are clean and corrosion free. Use fi ne sandpaper or emery cloth to clean terminals.

• Check battery water level. Add water if needed.

2. Motor loses power after a short running time:

• Check battery charge. If low, restore to full charge.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

It is the intention of JOME to be a responsible corporate citizen, operating in compliance with known and applicable environmental regulations, and a good neighbor in the communities where we make or sell our products.

WEEE DIRECTIVE:

EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)” impacts most distributors, sellers, and manufacturers of consumer electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive requires the producer of consumer electronics to take responsibility for the management of waste from their products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during the product life cycle.

WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical & electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it be required for EEE designed and intended as fi xed or temporary installation in transportation vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European Union member states, these vehicles are considered outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can be considered excluded from the

WEEE Directive requirement.

This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the product must not be disposed of with other household refuse. It must be disposed of and collected for recycling and recovery of waste EEE. Johnson

Outdoors Inc. will mark all EEE products in accordance with the WEEE Directive. It is our goal to comply in the collection, treatment, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of those products; however, these requirement do vary within European Union member states. For more information about where you should dispose of your waste equipment for recycling and recovery and/or your European Union member state requirements, please contact your dealer or distributor from which your product was purchased.
