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 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.
