SECURING THE ETHERNET CABLE
Securing the Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet Cable must be routed and all connections secured before completing the installation in this section. To review how the
Ethernet Cable should be routed and connected, review the "Advanced GPS Navigation" section of this document.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the recommended wire routing for installed features, if equipped, may cause damage to the product and void your
product warranty. Route cables away from pinch points or other areas that may cause them to bend in sharp angles. Routing the cables
in any way other than directed may cause damage to the cables by being pinched or severed. Do not over-tighten the cable tie as it may
damage the wire.
a. Place the motor in the stowed position.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the Cable Tie as it may damage the wires.
NOTICE: Minn Kota recommends routing the Ethernet
Cable through the Coil Cord. Bypassing the Coil Cord
when routing the Ethernet Cable is not recommended.
