Connection Considerations
When making the wiring connections, observe the following considerations.
• You must connect the trolling motor to a 24or 36Vdc battery bank capable of supplying 60A continuously.
• You must connect to the power source through a circuit breaker rated for continuous 60A (not included).
• If necessary, you can extend the power cable using the appropriate wire gauge based on the length of the
extension (Power Cable Extension, page7).
• For convenience, you can install a trolling motor plug and receptacle rated for 60A or greater (not included)
in the bulkhead to make it easier to disconnect the motor from the power source.
Installation Procedures
