ROUTING UNIVERSAL SONAR
a. Place the motor in the stowed position.
b. Locate the Universal Sonar, at the base of the
Control Head.
c. The Universal Sonar Cable should be fed all the
way through the Coil Cord. It should exit the
Coil Cord at the bottom of the Coil Cod, where it
connects to the Mount.

CAUTION
Not following the recommended wire routing for the
Universal Sonar cables, if equipped, may cause damage to
the product and void your product warranty. Route cables
away from pinch points or other areas that may cause
them to bend in sharp angles. Routing the cables in any
way other than directed may cause damage to the cables
by being pinched or severed.

NOTE:
After the Universal Sonar Cable exits the
Coil Cord, it should be routed through an established
routing system on the boat, in an area with minimal
interference. Inspect the selected route carefully to
ensure that there are no sharp edges, obstacles, or
obstructions that may damage the cables.
Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. For compatibility and more information on
Universal Sonar, please. Your trolling motor may also be pre-installed with i-Pilot. To learn more about the GPS capabilities
available with your i-Pilot navigation system, please refer to the corresponding Owner's Manual.
Universal Sonar requires cables to be connected to an output device. This connection is present on the trolling motor inside the
Control Head. The i-Pilot system does not need an external wired connection. If a connection is present, it is to connect the
Universal Sonar. Please follow the Minn Kota recommendations on routing the cables to optimize mobility and maximize
functionality. The routing will be the same regardless of the number of cables present. Use the following instructions to properly
route cables.
The Universal Sonar Cables are shielded to minimize interference. To protect this shielding the cables should not be pulled tight
against sharp angles or hard objects. If using cable ties, do not over-tighten. Any excess cable should be bundled in a loose
loop of no less than 4” in diameter.
To minimize trolling motor interference, ensure that the fish finder and trolling motor are powered by separate batteries. Please
refer to the Battery & Wiring Installation and Motor Wiring Diagram sections of this manual for correct rigging instructions.
