Recommended Practice and Procedures
IMPORTANT: Unplug the trolling motor after each use and when charging the
battery.
• Do not use the main engine battery to power the trolling motor.
• Ensure that the batteries are enclosed within a battery box to prevent
accidental shorting of the battery terminals.
• Route the trolling motor wires on the opposite side of the boat from other
boat wiring.
• Connect boat accessories directly to the main engine battery.
• Do not charge the trolling motor batteries while the trolling motor is in the
deployed (down) position.
Battery Recommendations
• Use 12‑volt, deep cycle marine batteries. The number of batteries
required varies according to the model of your trolling motor. Refer to
Battery Connection
.
• As a general rule, deep cycle batteries with a higher amp‑hour rating or
reserve capacity rating will provide longer run times and better
performance.
• Install a manual reset circuit breaker in line with the trolling motor positive
leads within 180 cm (72 in.) of the batteries. These can be purchased
from your local MotorGuide retailer or from www.motorguide.com.
• Do not extend the included 10‑gauge battery cables more than 1.8 m (6 ft)
for a total of 3 m (10 ft). If longer battery cables are required, MotorGuide
offers accessory 13 mm² (6‑gauge) battery cables.
• Use nylock nuts to secure the battery cables to their terminals. Using wing
nuts to secure the battery cables can cause loose connections.
• Any depth sounders or fish finders must be powered from the engine
starting battery. Connecting electronic equipment to the trolling motor
batteries can cause electrical interference and possible electrolysis.
