SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Please thoroughly read the user manual. Follow all instructions and heed all safety and cautionary notices. Use of this motor is only
permitted for persons that have read and understood these user instructions. Minors may use this motor only under adult supervision.
WARNING
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. We have designed your Minn Kota product to be an accurate
and reliable tool that will enhance boat operation and improve your ability to catch fish. This product does not relieve you from the
responsibility for safe operation of your boat. You must avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a permanent watch so you can
respond to situations as they develop. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate your Minn

WARNING
Never run the motor out of the water, as this may result in injuries from the rotating propeller. The motor should be disconnected from
the power source when it is not in use or is othe water. When connecting the power-supply cables of the motor to the battery, ensure
that they are not kinked or subject to chafe and route them in such a way that persons cannot trip over them. Before using the motor
make sure that the insulation of the power cables is not damaged. Disregarding these safety precautions may result in electric shorts
of battery(s) and/or motor. Always disconnect motor from battery(s) before cleaning or checking the propeller. Avoid submerging the
complete motor as water may enter the lower unit through control head and shaft. If the motor is used while water is present in the lower
unit considerable damage to the motor can occur. This damage will not be covered by warranty.
WARNING
Take care that neither you nor other persons approach the turning propeller too closely, neither with body parts nor with objects.
The motor is powerful and may endanger or injure you or others. While the motor is running watch out for persons swimming and for
floating objects. Persons who lack the ability to run the motor or whose reactions are impaired by alcohol, drugs, medication, or other
substances are not permitted to use this motor. This motor is not suitable for use in strong currents. The constant noise pressure level of
the motor during use is less than 70dB(A). The overall vibration level does not exceed 2,5 m/sec2.
WARNING
When stowing or deploying the motor, keep fingers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts. In the event of unexpected
operation, remove power leads from the battery.
WARNING
It is recommended to only use Johnson Outdoors approved accessories with your Minn Kota motor. Using non-approved accessories
including to mount or control your motor may cause damage, unexpected motor operation and injury. Be sure to use the product and
approved accessories, including remotes, safely and in the manner directed to avoid accidental or unexpected motor operation. Keep all
factory installed parts in place including motor and accessory covers, enclosures and guards.

ASSEMBLY OF STEERING MODULE TO MOUNT
• #2 Phillips Screwdriver
• #3 Phillips Screwdriver
• 1/4" Allen Wrench
• 5/64” Allen Wrench
• Drill
• 9/32" Drill Bit
• 7/16" Box End Wrench
• Torque Wrench
• File or Sandpaper
• Hack Saw
• Marker or Pencil
• 1/8" Flat Screwdriver
• A second person to help
with installation
a. Place the Mount on an elevated, level surface such
as a workbench or the tailgate of a pickup. The
Mount, as removed from the box, should be in the
deployed position.
b. Remove the 5/16" Allen Screw and Lock Washer
from the Mount using a 1/4" Allen Wrench. The
5/16" Allen Screw is located on the opposite end
of the mount from the hinge that opens and closes
when the mount is stowed and deployed.
It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the keel or centerline of the
boat as possible. Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes
and install nuts and washers. Make sure the motor rest is positioned far enough beyond
the edge of the boat. The motor must not encounter any obstructions as it is lowered into
the water or raised into the boat when stowed and deployed. Consider a quick release or
adapter bracket with the installation of your motor. To view a list of accessories, please visit
minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.

WARNING
Carefully lower the Steering Module into place to avoid
creating a pinch point between the Steering Module
and Mount.
c. Align the Keyways on the inside of the Steering
Module with the End Links on the Mount. Do this by
positioning the Steering Module above the End Links
on the Mount.
d. Lower the Motor Assembly straight down until the
Steering Module is seated.

INSTALLING THE MOUNT
NOTICE: The 5/16" Allen Screw must be tightened when
installed and periodically re-tightened to 18 to 20 ft-lbs.
This will allow the motor to stow properly. Tighten the
Allen Screw when the Mount is in the deployed position.
a. Review the mounting considerations at the beginning
of the Installation section for proper placement. With
the motor in the stowed position, place the Mount
on the deck of the boat, as close to the centerline or
keel as possible. Check placement with the motor in
both the stowed and deployed positions.
NOTICE: This motor weighs approximately 55 lbs. We
recommend having a second person help with the installation.

Installing the Mount
During installation, it is recommended to mount the motor to the boat before installing the Gas Spring. The Gas Spring is installed in the
Gas Spring Cylinder. The Gas Spring Cylinder is located on the inside of the Outer Arm, which is a part of the Mount. At this point in the
installation, the Gas Spring Cylinder is not fully installed and may move around inside the Mount when stowing and deploying the motor. The
Gas Spring Cylinder can become damaged while deploying the motor, and the damage will prevent the Lift-Assist feature from operating
correctly once fully assembled. Make sure that the Gas Spring Cylinder does not get damaged in the Mount.
CAUTION
The Gas Spring Cylinder can become damaged in the Mount
while stowing or deploying the motor because it is not yet fully
installed. Damage will prevent the Lift-Assist feature from
operating correctly once fully assembled. Make sure that
the Gas Spring Cylinder does not get damaged by keeping it
inside the Outer Arm of the Mount.
e. Reinstall the 5/16" Allen Screw and Lock Washer
and tighten to 18 to 20 ft-lbs with a Torque Wrench.

c. The Mount can be installed on either the Port
or Starboard side of the boat based on personal
preference. Test the placement of the Hold-Down
Strap to be sure it can hold the Mount as placed.
The placement of the buckle on the Hold-Down
Strap either inboard or outboard is based on
personal preference. The hook and loop on the
fastener should be face down for the Hold-Down
Strap to function.
2
3d. Check the placement with the motor in the deployed
position. With the motor in the deployed position,
make sure that the Shaft is 1-1/2" out past the
Gunwale of the boat. The lower unit must not
encounter any obstructions when stowed or deployed.
e. Check the placement of the Hold-Down Strap when
the motor is in the stowed and deployed positions
and adjust if necessary.
Port Starboard
NOTICE: Check that the Motor can properly stow
and deploy at the intended mounting location. The
Mount should latch closed when deployed. A proper
deployment requires engaging the Pull Grip and Cable
when the Motor is stowed to unlatch the Mount. If the
latch on the Mount does not engage when deployed,
it could indicate that the Mount is not flat on the Boat
Deck. Use rubber washers to level the Mount on the
Boat Deck if the Mount is not latching when deployed.

f. Once the Mount is in position, determine which bolt
pattern to use. The bolt pattern selected will depend
on the deck space available on your boat. Minn Kota
requires the use of all six mounting bolts.
g. Mark six mounting holes. Drill through the
deck of the boat using a 9/32" Drill Bit on the
marked locations.
h. Be sure the Hold-Down Strap under the base of the
Mount Plate sits between the second and third set
of bolts according to the mounting pattern selected.
Double check that it can close around the Mount
when stowed.
