MAXIMIZER BATTERY
6
BATTERY INFORMATION:
The motor will operate with any deep cycle marine 12 volt battery [24 volts require two]. For best results,
use a deep cycle MINN KOTA marine battery with at least an 100 ampere hour rating. As a general on
the water estimate, your 12 volt motor will draw one ampere per hour and your 24 volt motor will draw
.75 ampere per hour for each pound of thrust produced when the motor is running on high. The actual
ampere draw is subject to your particular environmental conditions and operation requirements.
Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will significantly improve the battery life. Failure to recharge
lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. For best
results, use a variable rate MINN KOTA charger.
NOTE: Do not use your crank battery as one of the supply batteries; crank batteries are not built for
deep discharge service.
MAXIMIZER™: (On Select Models)
The built-In Maximizer’s electronics create pulse width modulation to provide longer running
time and extended battery life. With the Maximizer speed control, you may, in some applica-
tions, experience interference in your depth finder display. We recommend that you use a
separate deep cycle marine battery for your trolling motor and that you power the depth finder
from the starting / cranking battery. If problems still persist, call our service department at 1-
800-227-6433.

Receiver may not have “learned” the ID
number of the remote.
Remote needs to be learned. See “
“ADDING/REMOVING REMOTES” section
to learn the remote ID number.
With the foot pedal connected, the MOM-
CON switch is in the CON position. An
audio response will be heard if a button is
pressed with the foot pedal in the CON
position.
The foot pedal switch must be placed in
the MOM position. The receiver will not
accept any commands from the remote
with the switch in the CON position
REMOTE IS NOT
TRANSMITTING
If remote has been taken apart, the
keypad and top case may have been
installed backwards.
Take remote apart (BATTERY
REPLACEMENT SECTION) and reinstall
case halves with the proper orientation.
WHEN RECEIVER IS
POWERED UP, IT SOUNDS A
BEEP PATTERN. (1 long beep,
2 short beeps, pause, repeat)
The foot pedal MOM-CON switch is in the
CON position
The foot pedal switch must be placed in
the MOM position. The beeping sound will
continue until the switch is placed in the
MOM position
Prop speed is set at “0” Increase the prop speed above “0”

WARNING - To prevent personal injury or property damage, always install a 60 amp manual-reset circuit break-
er in line with the trolling motor positive (+) lead(s) as close to the battery as possible. To order a MKR-19, 60 amp
circuit breaker, contact your local service center or call Minn Kota at 1-800-227-6433.
