Battery Wiring & Installation boAT Rigging & PRodUCT insTALLATion For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when rigging your boat. Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualified marine technician. The following specifications are for general guidelines only: CAUTION: These guidelines apply to general rigging to support your Minn Kota motor.
sELECTing THE CoRRECT bATTERiEs The motor will operate& with any lead acid, deep cycle marine 12 volt battery/batteries. For best results, use a deep cycle, marine Battery Wiring Installation battery with at least a 105 ampere hour rating. Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will ensure having battery power when you need it, and will significantly improve the battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure.

gETTing sECTionsTARTEd TiTLE Getting Started Knowing YoUR REmoTE LAYoUT The i-Pilot remote is divided into four sections: Manual Control, Tracks, Spot Lock, and Cruise Control/AutoPilot. Buttons in the Manual Control section of the remote do not require a GPS signal to operate and give you full, immediate control over steering, speed and prop functions similar to a CoPilot. All other buttons require a minimum GPS signal strength of one bar in order to operate.

Since i-Pilot depends on GPS satellite signals for navigation, a minimum GPS signal level of one bar is required in order for GPS navigation controls to be enabled. Best results are achieved when a GPS signal level of four bars can be obtained.

This point is recorded and stored into one of the six memory locations when the Spot Lock button is pushed. Around the Spot Lock location i-Pilot uses an arrival circle to determine prop speed and direction. If i-Pilot sees it is within the circle, it will adjust the motor speed to zero.
