Boater's Responsibilities
The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation of the
boat and safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly recommended
that each operator (driver) read and understand this entire manual before
operating the trolling motor.
Be sure at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basic
operation of the trolling motor in case the driver is unable to operate the boat.
Protecting People in the Water
WHILE YOU ARE TROLLING
It is difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to avoid a boat
heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.
21604
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an
area where there might be people in the water.
WHILE THE BOAT IS STATIONARY
!
WARNING
A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to the boat
can cause serious injury or death to swimmers. Stop the trolling motor
immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your boat.
Shut off the trolling motor before allowing people to swim or be in the water
near your boat.
Passenger Safety Message
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all passengers. A
sudden reduction in boat speed, such as a sharp change of boat direction,
could throw them off the boat.
Safe Boating Suggestions
In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and other
governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and consider the following
suggestions.
Use flotation devices. It is the law to have an approved personal flotation
device of suitable size for each person aboard and have it readily accessible.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND COMPONENT
IDENTIFICATION
6 eng
Do not overload your boat. Most boats are rated and certified for maximum
load (weight) capacities, refer to your boat capacity plate. If in doubt, contact
your dealer or the boat's manufacturer.
Perform safety checks and required maintenance. Follow a regular
schedule and ensure all repairs are made properly.
Never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while boating (it is the
law). Alcohol or drug use impairs your judgment and greatly reduces your
ability to react quickly.
Passenger boarding. Stop the trolling motor whenever passengers are
boarding or unloading.
Be alert. The operator of the boat is responsible by law to maintain a proper
lookout by sight and hearing. The operator must have an unobstructed view
particularly to the front. No passengers, load, or fishing seats should block the
operators view when operating the boat.
Underwater hazards. Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever
navigating in shallow water.
Tripping hazards. To avoid a trip hazard, route all cables and wiring neatly
and out of the way.
Report accidents. Boat operators are required by law to file a Boating
Accident Report with their state boating law enforcement agency when their
boat is involved in certain boating accidents. A boating accident must be
reported if 1) there is loss of life or probable loss of life, 2) there is personal
injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, 3) there is damage to boats
or other property where the damage value exceeds $500.00 or 4) there is
complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local law enforcement.

Installing the Trolling Motor
1. Remove the two side panel screws from each side of the deck mount.
Gently pull the side panels away from the deck mount, taking care not to
damage the locating tabs, and remove the side panels from both sides of
the trolling motor.
a - Side panel screws
b - Locating tab
2. If you are replacing an existing MotorGuide or competitive brand trolling
motor on your current boat, check if the existing mounting holes align with
the new deck mount before drilling new holes. Ensure that the mounting
location meets the requirements listed in Step 4.
3. If new holes are not required to mount the trolling motor, skip ahead to
Step 7.
4. Carefully select an appropriate area on the deck of the boat close to the
centerline to install the trolling motor. Ensure that the forward mounting
bolts will not penetrate the hull. Have an assistant hold the trolling motor
in position while the mounting location is being selected.
IMPORTANT: The mounting position must be tested in the stowed and
deployed positions before drilling the mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Choose an area on the deck with 10.2 cm (4.0 in.) of clearance
between the bow of the boat and the deck mount to prevent interference
between the trolling motor and the bow roller when loading or unloading on a
steep ramp.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the head does not protrude beyond the beam of the
boat when in the stowed position.

5. Place the trolling motor onto the deck of the boat at the selected location
in the stowed position. Use the deck mounting bracket as a template and
mark the location of the mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Four mounting holes (two on each side) are required to securely
mount the trolling motor. There are seven mounting hole positions to choose
from on each side of the deck mounting bracket. Choose two hole positions on
each side that work the best with your boat configuration.
IMPORTANT: Select mounting hole locations as far apart as practical on each
side of the deck mounting bracket for the most secure mounting.

Recommended Practice and Procedures
IMPORTANT: Unplug the trolling motor after each use and when charging the
battery.
• Do not use the main engine battery to power the trolling motor.
• Ensure that the batteries are enclosed within a battery box to prevent
accidental shorting of the battery terminals.
• Route the trolling motor wires on the opposite side of the boat from other
boat wiring.
• Connect boat accessories directly to the main engine battery.
• Do not charge the trolling motor batteries while the trolling motor is in the
deployed (down) position.
Battery Recommendations
• Use 12‑volt, deep cycle marine batteries. The number of batteries
required varies according to the model of your trolling motor. Refer to
Battery Connection.
• As a general rule, deep cycle batteries with a higher amp‑hour rating or
reserve capacity rating will provide longer run times and better
performance.
• Install a manual reset circuit breaker in line with the trolling motor positive
leads within 180 cm (72 in.) of the batteries. These can be purchased
from your local MotorGuide retailer or from www.motorguide.com.
• Do not extend the included 10‑gauge battery cables more than 1.8 m (6 ft)
for a total of 3 m (10 ft). If longer battery cables are required, MotorGuide
offers accessory 13 mm² (6‑gauge) battery cables.
• Use nylock nuts to secure the battery cables to their terminals. Using wing
nuts to secure the battery cables can cause loose connections.
• Any depth sounders or fish finders must be powered from the engine
starting battery. Connecting electronic equipment to the trolling motor
batteries can cause electrical interference and possible electrolysis.

Battery Precautions
!
WARNING
An operating or charging battery produces gas that can ignite and explode,
spraying out sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns. Ventilate the area
around the battery and wear protective equipment when handling or servicing
batteries.
When charging batteries, an explosive gas mixture forms in each cell. Part of
this gas escapes through holes in the vent plugs and may form an explosive
atmosphere around the battery if ventilation is poor. This explosive gas may
remain in or around the battery for several hours after it has been charged.
Sparks or flames can ignite this gas and cause an internal explosion, which
may shatter the battery.
The following precautions should be observed to prevent an explosion:
1. Do not smoke near batteries being charged or which have been charged
recently.
2. Do not break live circuits at the battery terminals, because a spark usually
occurs at the point where a live circuit is broken. Always be careful when
connecting or disconnecting cable clamps on chargers. Poor connections
are a common cause of electrical arcs, which cause explosions.
3. Do not reverse the polarity of battery terminal to cable connections.
Establishing a Common Ground
A common ground (–) connection increases sonar sensitivity, improves sonar
display, avoids the ground circuit as a possible source of corrosion or
electrolysis, and reduces interference with other electronic equipment. For
12‑volt trolling motor applications, connect the negative (–) terminal on the
trolling motor battery to the negative (–) terminal on the engine starting battery
with a common ground cable to establish a common ground.
For 24‑volt and 36‑volt trolling motors, a common ground (–) connection cannot
be established with the 12‑volt electrical system in the boat due to the different
circuit voltages. As a general rule to reduce interference with other electronics
on your boat, route all battery wiring away from other boat wiring (opposite side
of the boat if possible), keep the battery cable length as short as possible, and
always use battery cables of the appropriate size (gauge).
ELECTROLYSIS
Using the main engine battery as a power source for the trolling motor may
cause electrolysis on metallic parts. If the motor and battery wiring are installed
correctly and electrolysis issues continue, separate the trolling motor from any
other boat electronics. Using the main engine battery as a power source for the
trolling motor is not recommended. Refer to Battery Connection for correct
installation.
