NOTE: The serial number on your CoPilot is located on a label inside your product package. We recommend placing the label on the
inside of the Sideplate for models manufactured in 2017. Motors manufactured in 2017 have a serial number that begins with the
letter R. Serial Numbers starting with a letter before R in the alphabet were manufactured prior to 2017. For models manufactured in
2016 or prior, place the serial number on the plastic cover inside the sideplate once installation in complete. You may also store your
serial number label in a secure location.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Installing the CoPilot Receiver Based on Manufacture Year
This remote is compatible with Terrova and Legacy Terrova motors. Installation instructions vary depending on the year your motor
was manufactured. Before installing the CoPilot Receiver, determine which year your motor was manufactured. Minn Kota recommends
looking at the trolling motor serial number to determine the year of manufacture. Review the "INTRODUCTION" of your trolling motor manual
to determine the location of your serial number. Motors manufactured in 2017 have a serial number that begins
with the letter R. Serial Numbers starting with a letter before R in the alphabet were manufactured prior to
2017. Motors manufactured in 2017 will also have a model name on the serial number tag that includes "BT".
Be sure to follow the correct Installation Instructions and proceed to either the"Installing the CoPilot
Receiver for Motors Manufactured 2016 or Prior" section of
this manual or " Installing the CoPilot Receiver for Motors
Manufactured 2017 or After".
