Considerations for Connecting and Routing Advanced GPS Navigation
Your Minn Kota trolling motor and Humminbird fish finder communicate with each other to change the way you fish. Advanced GPS
Navigation oers a large array of features including controlling speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and the ability to record and retrace tracks on
the water, all at your fingertips. To learn more about the GPS capabilities available with your new motor, please refer to the Advanced GPS
Navigation Owner’s Manual by visiting
minnkotamotors.com.
The micro remote and GPS controller make up the Advanced GPS Navigation system. A micro remote comes paired to the controller from
the factory. The GPS controller contains a very sensitive compass and is where all GPS satellite and remote signals are received. The
GPS controller is located in the trolling motor Control Head and may be connected to a fish finder from an Accessory Cable that exits the
Control Head. If the Advanced GPS Navigation system will be used with a fish finder, the Ethernet link between the trolling motor and the
fish finder must be connected.
Advanced GPS Navigation is pre-installed on your trolling motor, one eight pin Advanced GPS Ethernet Connector exits the base of the
Control Head and rest just below the Control Head next to the Coil Cord. If the Advanced GPS Navigation on the trolling motor will be used
with a fish finder, an Ethernet Cable will need to be attached to the Advanced GPS Ethernet Connector below the Control Head. Consider
the distance between the trolling motor and the fish finder to determine how to complete the Ethernet connection.
ETHERNET CABLES - Minn Kota provides one 30 ft Ethernet cable (AS EC 30E - 30' Ethernet Cable - 720073-4) with every trolling motor
equipped with Advanced GPS Navigation. The 30 ft Ethernet cable will accommodate a standard Ethernet connection for most installations
to a Humminbird fish finder and is "Apex and Solix Ready." If the distance between the trolling motor and Humminbird fish finder is
relatively small and a shorter cable is preferred, alternate cable lengths are available from
humminbird.com. These options include:
• 10 ft - (
AS EC 10E - 10' Ethernet Cable - 720073-2)
• 15 ft - (
AS EC 15E - 15' Ethernet Cable - 720073-5)
• 20 ft - (
AS EC 20E - 20' Ethernet Cable - 720073-3)
Every length of Ethernet cable plugs directly into a Solix or Apex or directly into a Helix Adapter Cable.
HUMMINBIRD HELIX ADAPTER CABLES - Minn Kota provides one Helix Adapter Cable (AS EC QDE - Ethernet Adapter Cable - 720074-1)
with every trolling motor equipped with Advanced GPS Navigation. If the Ethernet connection is being made between the trolling motor and
any Humminbird® Helix fish finder, the Helix Adapter Cable should be used. The Helix Adapter Cable directly connects the Ethernet Cable to
a Helix fish finder.
ETHERNET EXTENSION CABLES - If the 30 ft Ethernet cable provided with your trolling motor with Advanced GPS Navigation is not long
enough to reach the fish finder, an Ethernet Extension cable should be used. The Ethernet Extension cable is available from
humminbird.com
and is available in a 30 ft length (
AS ECX 30E - 30' Ethernet Extension Cable - 760025-1). The Ethernet Extension Cable will plug directly into
any length of Ethernet cable.
NOTICE: Minn Kota recommends routing the Ethernet Cable or Ethernet Extension Cable parallel with and secured to the Coil Cord
when making the Ethernet connection. The cables will be installed from the Mount to the Control Head secured to and parallel with
the Coil Cord. Bypassing the Coil Cord when routing the Ethernet Cable or Ethernet Extension Cable is not recommended. Follow
the instructions in the "Securing Accessory Cable" section of this document for instructions on how to route the Ethernet Cable
through the Clips once connected.
