compressor will begin usi
ng “high gear” and become louder. This is normal. It will stop
automatically at 19kPa which is the desired air pressure in the pontoons
-
Once this step is complete, simply untwist the tube from the pontoon and close the
screwed lid over the valve
-
When you install the pontoons on the frame, the side with the valve goes forward and up.
If you have retention straps built in to your pontoons, they face up, the saddle bar sits in the
middle of the strap, and the strap clips around the frame. This holds the pontoon in
position fore/aft and prevents it from spinning
Mount the rudder (
-
Place the rudder in the “up” position. In doing this you will have the fastpin through the
hole in the rudder, but not in the bracket. It will be at approximately a 45 degree angle to its
down position
-
The rudder mount has two bolts in it. Place these bolts through the rudder bracket on the
transom of the frame and use wing nuts to secure the rudder. Be sure that these nuts are
really snug
-
To swing the rudder down, remove the fastpin from the rudder, swing the rudder down so it
is in its use position.
-
There is a hole in the rudder mount into which you should insert the fastpin. It may be
difficult to push the fastpin all the way through the mount and rudder, but this will become
easier with time

The center of the electronics is the waterproof Pelican box. Inside you will find a lithium-ion
battery, a Nexus “brain” with a SIM c
ard, and a USB charger. The box has two waterproof
connectors coming out of the top, one positive, one negative. It also has a switch with an on
and an off setting
-
Close this box, latch it shut, and set it in the frame. There is a strap the will be attached to
the frame and should run over the front side of the box to keep it from being dislodged.
-
The motor and GPS each have “Y” connectors. Each will plug in only one way to the top of
the Pelican box. Connect these waterproof plugs; the blue arrows point to the waterproof
connections
-
The battery in the box will now power the Nexus, motor, and ProNav
-
The ProNav should take 60 seconds to boot up. Do not try to activate it before then. The
Minn Kota also takes some time, and the Nexus must connect to its signals.
