Powering Multiple Downriggers
When operating multiple Mag 20 DTs, run a
maximum of 2 downriggers per dedicated
battery
. The advanced features of the Mag 20 DT
can keep the unit working virtually all the time. (See
below for the recommended wiring setup.)
NOTE: To ensure proper operation of your Mag
20 DT, ground its battery to your boat’s electrical
system’s ground. Malfunctions with the PIC,
communication between units, or loss of
operation result from faulty grounding. Always
check to see if your boat is properly grounded
first.

Typical Operating Time*:
1 Mag 20 DT per battery – 24 hours.
2 Mag 20 DTs per battery – 10 hours.
*Time based on lab results using a 15lb weight
and Deep-Cycle batteries. Actual run time will
vary.
FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE:
Use Minn Kota Group 27 or 31 sized, Deep-Cycle
marine batteries. For extended battery life, add a
Minn Kota on-board, DC alternator charger.
