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.
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.
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.
90-8M0082949 eng JULY 2013 Page 7
Page 12
Section 2 - General Information and Component Identification
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.
IMPORTANT: A minimum clearance of 13 mm (0.5 in.) is required between the motor column and the rub rail on the boat
when the trolling motor is deployed.
Mounting position with 10.2 cm (4.0 in.) clearance from the bow
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.
Mounting hole locations—same on both sides
6. Drill the mounting holes with a 8 mm (5/16 in.) drill bit. Remove any debris.

IMPORTANT: To help prevent cracking on fiberglass decks, use a countersink bit or a larger drill bit to countersink the
mounting holes.
7. Align the deck mounting bracket to the holes in the deck. On fiberglass boats with no carpet where the motor is being
installed, install the rubber isolators between the boat deck and the deck mounting bracket. Install three stainless steel
mounting bolts through the mounting holes on one side of the deck mounting bracket. Install a washer and a nylock nut
onto each bolt, but do not tighten them at this time.
NOTE: If the trolling motor is being mounted to a carpeted boat deck, the rubber isolators are not required.

8. Grab onto the motor column and raise the unbolted side of the deck mounting bracket. Install the bolts through the deck
mounting holes while holding the deck mounting bracket at an angle. Holding the deck mounting bracket at an angle allows
the bolts to be installed with less interference from the foot release mechanism. Install a washer and a nylock nut onto
each bolt.
9. Align the trolling motor with the mounting holes in the deck. Hold the mounting bolts securely with a 7/16 in. wrench while
using a wrench or socket to tighten the nylock nuts on both sides of the deck mounting bracket from under the deck.
10. Install the side panels onto the trolling motor, taking care not to damage the locating tabs. Install the side panel screws.

Section 3 - Product Installation, Wiring, and Battery Information
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 mm (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).

Section 3 - Product Installation, Wiring, and Battery Information
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.

WARNING
!
Before working around electrical system components, disconnect the battery cables from the battery to prevent injury or
damage to the electrical system due to an accidental short circuit.
!
CAUTION
Disconnecting or connecting the battery cables in the incorrect order can cause injury from electrical shock or can damage
the electrical system. Always disconnect the negative (‑) battery cable first and connect it last.
NOTICE
Failure to operate the trolling motor within the recommended voltage specifications can cause product damage. Do not
exceed the maximum supply voltage.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the decal on the head of the trolling motor to determine the voltage requirements of your trolling motor.
12‑Volt Battery Connection
1. Starting with the negative (–) lead, disconnect the battery cables from the engine starting battery.
2. Install a 50‑amp (good) or 60‑amp (best) manual reset circuit breaker in line with the trolling motor power cable positive (+)
lead and the trolling motor battery positive (+) terminal.
3. Connect the positive (+) trolling motor lead to the positive (+) trolling motor battery terminal.
4. Connect the negative (–) trolling motor lead to the negative (–) trolling motor battery terminal.
5. Connect a jumper cable (common ground bond) from the trolling motor battery negative (–) terminal to the engine battery
negative (–) terminal.
NOTE: Vessels using 12‑volt trolling motors with multiple batteries must have a common ground bonding circuit. Not
establishing a common ground between the vessel batteries may cause severe corrosion, electrolysis, or electrical shock.
NOTE: The common ground bond cable should be no more than one wire size (gauge) smaller than the battery cables, nor
smaller than 16‑gauge (AWG). The common ground bond cable must be insulated, and secured to the negative (–) battery
terminals with ring‑style connectors.
