THANK YOU

Thank you for choosing Minn Kota.  We believe that you should spend more time fishing and less time positioning your boat. 
That’s why we build the smartest, toughest, most intuitive trolling motors on the water. Every aspect of a Minn Kota trolling 
motor is thought out and rethought until it’s good enough to bear our name. Countless hours of research and testing provide you 
the Minn Kota advantage that can truly take you “Anywhere. Anytime.”  We don’t believe in shortcuts.  We are Minn Kota.  And we 
are never done helping you catch more fish. 

REGISTRATION

Remember to keep your receipt and immediately register 
your trolling motor. A registration card is included with 
your motor or you can complete registration on our 
website.

SERIAL NUMBER

Your Minn Kota 11-character serial number is very 
important. It helps to determine the specific model and 
year of manufacture. When contacting Consumer Service 
or registering your product, you will need to know your 
product’s serial number.  We recommend that you write the 
serial number down so that you have it available for future 
reference.
