ROUTING UNIVERSAL SONAR & -PILOT LINK CABLESi

Routing Universal Sonar & i-Pilot Link Cables

Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. Universal Sonar is a 2D sonar transducer

with a temperature sensor that is integrated into the lower unit of the trolling motor. It has an operating frequency of 83/200

kHz. Connecting this transducer to a compatible ﬁsh ﬁnder* gives you a 2D sonar view of what is happening directly below your

trolling motor. The integrated design protects the transducer from underwater hazards, and prevents tangles and damage to the

transducer cables.

In certain situations, air bubbles may adhere to the surface of the Universal Sonar transducer, and aﬀect the performance. If this

happens simply wipe the surface of the transducer with your ﬁnger.

All Universal Sonar motors are equipped with an internal bonding wire, incorrect rigging will cause sonar interference and can

damage your trolling motor, electronics and other boat accessories. Please refer to the Battery & Wiring Installation and Motor

Wiring Diagram sections of this manual for correct rigging instructions.

NOTE: Universal Sonar only provides 2D sonar that operates at 83/200 kHz. It does not support imaging screens

that require higher frequencies such as 455 kHz or 800 kHz (Down Imaging, Side Imaging, etc.). Down Imaging (DI)

speciﬁc units are not compatible with Universal Sonar. See compatibility chart for a list of compatible ﬁsh ﬁnders at

minnkotamotors.com. *Requires an adapter that is sold separately. For a current list of compatible ﬁsh ﬁnders and the

correct adapter cable, please visit minnkotamotors.com.

Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. For compatibility and more information on

Universal Sonar, please visit minnkotamotors.com. Your trolling motor may also be pre-installed with either i-Pilot or i-Pilot

Link. To learn more about the GPS capabilities available with your i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link navigation system, please refer to the

corresponding Owner's Manual by visiting minnkotamotors.com.

Both the Universal Sonar and i-Pilot Link features require cables to be connected to an output device. These connections are

present on the trolling motor below the Control Head. The i-Pilot system does not need an external wired connection. If only one

connection is present, it is because your motor is equipped with the i-Pilot system. If only a single connection is present, it is to

connect the Universal Sonar. If two cables are present, one is to connect the Universal Sonar, and the other is to connect the

i-Pilot Link connection. Please follow the Minn Kota recommendations on routing the cables to optimize mobility and maximize

functionality.

The routing will be the same regardless of the number of cables present. Use the following instructions to properly

route cables.

The Universal Sonar Cables are shielded to minimize interference. To protect this shielding the cables should not be pulled tight

against sharp angles or hard objects. If using cable ties, do not over-tighten. Any excess cable should be bundled in a loose loop

of no less than 4” in diameter.

To minimize trolling motor interference, ensure that the ﬁsh ﬁnder and trolling motor are powered by separate batteries. Please

refer to the Battery & Wiring Installation and Motor Wiring Diagram sections of this manual for correct rigging instructions.

To better identify cables present that exit the Control Head, refer to the diagrams below that detail what the Universal Sonar and

i-Pilot Link cable connectors look like.

1

UTION

Not following the recommended wire routing for the

Universal Sonar and/or i-Pilot Link cable(s), 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.
