TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION:
Transducer cables should be routed through the coil
cable and handle as shown. Leave enough slack for
proper deployment and retraction. Mount transducer
according to transducer instructions.
NOTE: A transducer is not included with your trolling
motor.
TRANSPORTATION:
In conditions where the stowed motor is subject to high
levels of shock or vibration, take care to provide a
secure stow. Move the depth collar snug against the
steering motor and tighten.
Drill a small hole in rib
Leave slack
Tie wrap cable

WRIST STRAP ADDING / REMOVING REMOTES

Using the nylon strap with the remote
For a general purpose strap mount, refer to the figure above. This strap can be used as a wrist
mount, around the belt, to a fixed location on the boat, etc…
Your CoPilot is now installed and ready for operation!
Adding / Removing remotes
• To “learn” the ID number of additional remotes, follow these steps:
1.) Press and hold the LEARN button located on the side of the receiver (receiver will emit a con-
tinuous tone.)
A small blunt object must be used to depress the LEARN button ( pen or screwdriver.)
2.) Press any button on the remote (receiver will beep 4 times confirming that it has “learned” the ID
number of the remote and that the programming is valid and complete.)
• “Re-learning” the ID number of the same remote will not overwrite previously “learned” remotes.
• If the receiver has “learned” the ID number of ten remotes, “learning” an eleventh remote will erase
or over write the first “learned” remote.
• The CoPilot allows the angler to erase all stored remote ID numbers from the receiver. To do so, fol-
low these steps:
1.) Remove power from the receiver by unplugging the receiver from the motor.
2.) Press and hold the LEARN button and power up the receiver by plugging it back into the motor. Hold
the LEARN button down for 10 seconds. During this time the receiver audio will emit a warble sound,
slowly transition to a constant beep and then shut off.
3.) Release the Learn button and the receiver will reboot. The receiver will emit a 2 second long beep
indicating memory is empty. This audio pattern will occur each time the receiver powers up until a
remote ID number is learned.

MAINTENANCE:
1. After use in salt or brackish water these units should
be rinsed with fresh water, then wiped down with a
cloth dampened with an aqueous based silicone spray
such as Armorall®.
2. The propeller must be cleaned of weeds and fishing
line. The line can get behind the prop, wear away the
seals and allow water to enter the motor. Check this
after every 20 hours of operation.
3. To prevent accidental damage during trailering or stor-
age, disconnect the battery whenever the motor is off
of the water. For prolonged storage, lightly coat all
metal parts with silicone spray.
4. For maximum performance, restore battery to full
charge before each use. Unless you are using a power
panel or MINN KOTA battery charger, disconnect the
trolling motor when charging the battery.
5. The composite shaft requires periodic cleaning and
lubrication for proper retraction and deployment. A
coating of Armorall
®
will provide “like new” operation.
6. Replace the sacrificial anode / nut and washer after
2000 hours of run time or 1.5 seasons, which ever
comes first. See Propeller Replacement, steps 1 - 2
and 5 - 6.
