INSTALLATION
MOTOR INSTALLATION
With its variable shaft length, the Vantage will fit on most transoms between 14 and 28 inches high.
1. Trailer the boat and park it on a level surface.
2. Locate the Vantage on the boat transom where it will be mounted. The location
choice is important. The Vantage motor lower unit rotates 400°. It must,
therefore, be positioned far enough to the side of the outboard engine along the
transom so that during rotation it will not strike the outboard engine. With the 36V
101 version, you should install the transom extrusion (provided) before you secure
the Vantage to the transom.
TRANSOM EXTRUSION INSTALLATION (101 MODELS ONLY)
a. Set Vantage on transom with clamp screws backed out.
b. Slide extrusion between inside of transom and the clamp screw washers and tighten clamp screws.
c. Attach extrusion to transom with two screws provided. This will require drilling
two appropriate sized pilot holes for the self tapping screws.
3. Set the angle adjustment/tensioning screws (located on the sides of transom
bracket) so the motor is perpendicular to the ground. Hand tighten the screws.
4. Measure from the ground to the bottom of the hull. Measure from ground to the
bottom of the Vantage skeg. Secure the unit so the bottom of the skeg is at one
inch above the bottom of the hull, directly in front of the Vantage (accounting
for the v-shape of the boat hull). Use a 1/2 inch open-end wrench to loosen the
four transom bracket nuts/bolts between the body of Vantage and the transom
bracket. Adjust the body of Vantage to a one-inch level above the transom and
secure. This will position the Vantage lower unit and prop so that, when retracted,
they will clear the bottom of the boat. It may take several attempts to achieve
correct placement.
5. Adjust the handle to a comfortable position.
NOTE: When mounted properly, the Vantage motor lower unit will be out of the water when the boat is on plane. If lower unit
creates water spray when on plane, slightly re-adjust it higher until there is no more water spray.
CAUTION:
• Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.
• Over-tightening the clamp screws can damage the bracket.
WARNING: When raising/lowering motor or operating the tilt mechanism, keep fingers clear of all hinge and
pivot points and all moving parts.

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 qualified marine technician. The following specifications 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 qualified 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.
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 significantly 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 offer a wide selection of chargers to fit 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 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 fire 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 find 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 IN SERIES (IF REQUIRED FOR YOUR MOTOR)
24 VOLT SYSTEMS:
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 the connector cable supplied with the
motor to positive (+) terminal of battery 1 and
to negative (–) terminal of battery 2.
b. Connect positive (+) red lead to positive
(+) terminal on battery 2.
c. Connect the yellow (+) lead to positive
(+) terminal on battery 1.
d. Connect negative (–) black lead to
negative (–) terminal of battery 1.
4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller is in the water. If installing a leadwire plug, observe proper polarity
and follow instructions in your boat owner’s manual. See wiring diagram on following pages.
36 VOLT SYSTEMS:
1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on “0”).
2. Three 12 volt batteries are required.
3. The batteries must be wired in series, only as
directed in wiring diagram, to provide 36 volts.
a. Connect the connector cable supplied with
the motor to positive (+) terminal of battery
1 and to negative (–) terminal of battery 2.
b. Connect positive (+) red lead to
positive (+) terminal on battery 3.
c. Connect the yellow (+) lead to
positive (+) terminal on battery 1.
d. Connect negative (–) black lead to
negative (–) terminal of battery 1.
4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on
until the propeller is in the water. If installing a leadwire plug, observe proper polarity and follow instructions in your boat owner’s
manual. See wiring diagram on following pages.
CAUTION
• Improper wiring of 24/36 volt systems could cause battery explosion!
• Keep leadwire wing nut connection tight and solid to battery terminals.
• Locate battery in a ventilated compartment.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the motor from the battery or batteries when the motor is not in use or while
the battery/batteries are being charged.

USING & ADJUSTING THE MOTOR
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
To position the lower unit, press and release the DOWN button on the tiller to
automatically lower the motor into the water. To adjust for shallow water, deploy
the motor and hit the DOWN button a second time and the motor will stop at that
point. Use the UP button to adjust depth if still necessary. When the DOWN button
is pushed, the motor down LED will illuminate and stay lit until the motor is retracted
back to its stowed position. The motor is only designed to deploy a certain distance.
Pushing the DOWN button when the motor is fully deployed or UP button when the
motor is fully stowed may result in lift motor damage.
NOTE: If the UP button is pushed while the lower unit is running, the power will shut
off to protect the lift system.
CAUTION: Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.
CONTROLLING SPEED AND DIRECTION WITH THE TILLER
Locate the ON/OFF switch located at the end of the control handle. Push the switch in to
power on, and push the switch again to power off. The LED indicator will illuminate when
power is on. This motor offers a choice of infinitely variable speeds. Turn the control button
on the tiller counterclockwise to decrease speed and clockwise to increase speed.
ARTICULATED STEERING
The tiller has a 4-to-1 steering ration which enables you to rotate the lower unit 180° by moving the tiller just 45°.

- 9/16” for motors with 80 lbs thrust or higher.
• Screwdriver (optional)
CAUTION:
Disconnect the motor from the battery
before beginning any prop work or
maintenance.
NOTE: The propeller on your motor may differ from
the one pictured.
1. Disconnect the motor from all sources of power prior to changing the propeller.
2. Hold the propeller and loosen the prop nut with pliers or a wrench.
3. Remove the prop nut and washer. If the drive pin is sheared or broken, you will need to hold the shaft stationary with a blade
screwdriver pressed into the slot on the end of the shaft.
4. Turn the old prop to horizontal (as illustrated) and pull it straight off. If drive pin falls out, push it back in.
5. Align the new propeller with the drive pin.
6. Install the prop washer and prop nut.
7. Tighten the prop nut 1/4 turn past snug [25-35 inch lbs.] Do not over tighten as this can damage the prop.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. After use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater, then wiped down with a cloth dampened with an aqueous based
silicone spray. This series of motors is not equipped for saltwater exposure.
2. The propeller must be inspected and cleaned from weeds and fishing line after every use.
Fishing line and weeds can get behind the prop, damage the seals and allow water to enter the motor.
3. Verify the prop nut is secure each time the motor is used.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep battery terminals clean with fine sandpaper or emery cloth.
7. The propeller is designed to provide weed free operation with very high efficiency. 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 fine
sandpaper.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:
• Check battery connections for proper polarity.
• Make sure terminals are clean and corrosion free. Use fine 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.
3. You experience prop vibration during normal operation:
• Remove and rotate the prop 180°. See removal instructions in the Propeller Replacement section.
4. The lower unit does not fully deploy:
• Check for shallow water or underwater obstructions.
5. The deployed lower unit does not fully retract:
• Press the DOWN button so the lower unit returns to full deploy. Then press and hold the UP button until the unit is fully
retracted.
6. Experiencing interference with your fishfinder:
•You may, in some applications, experience interference in your depth finder display. We recommend that you use a
seperate deep cycle marine battery for your trolling motor and that you power the depth finder from the starting/cranking
battery. If problems still persist, call our service department.
ATTENTION: The lift system of the Vantage motor can be aff ected by cold temperatures. At temperatures below 32 degrees
Farenheit., (0 degrees Celsius.), the lubricant in the lift system can become viscous preventing stow/deploy. Also, if this motor is
being used in open water areas at freezing temperatures, ice can form on the telescoping portion of the motor shaft preventing
stow/deploy. In either case, placing the motor in a warm, heated area will restore the lift system to normal operation.
NOTE: For all other malfunctions, visit an Authorized Service Center. You can search for an Authorized Service Center in your
area by visiting our Authorized Service Center page, found online or by calling our customer service.

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 fixed 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.

household refuse. It must be disposed of and collected for recycling and recovery of waste EEE. Johnson

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.
