BATTERY & WIRING INSTALLATION

BOAT RIGGING & PRODUCT INSTALLATION
For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when rigging your boat. Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualifi ed marine technician. The following specifi cations are for general guidelines only:
CAUTION
These guidelines apply to general rigging to support your Minn Kota motor. Powering multiple motors or additional electrical devices from the same power circuit may impact the recommended conductor gauge and circuit breaker size. If you are using wire longer than that provided with your unit, follow the conductor gauge and circuit breaker sizing table below. If your wire extension length is more than 25 feet, we recommend that you contact a qualifi ed marine technician.
CAUTION
An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) must be used. Coast Guard requirements dictate that each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse. The type (voltage and current rating) of the fuse or circuit breaker must be sized accordingly to the trolling motor used. The table below gives recommended guidelines for circuit breaker sizing.
CONDUCTOR GAUGE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER SIZING TABLE
This conductor and circuit breaker sizing table is only valid for the following assumptions:

1. No more than 2 conductors are bundled together inside of a sheath or conduit outside of engine spaces.
2. Each conductor has 105° C temp rated insulation.
3. No more than 3% voltage drop allowed at full motor power based on published product power requirements.

NOTICE: Wire Extension Length refers to the distance from the batteries to the trolling motor leads. Consult website for available thrust options.

SELECTING THE CORRECT BATTERIES
QUEST series motors will operate with any deep cycle marine 12, 24 or 36-volt battery/batteries and have been optimized for use with LiFePO4 lithium-ion battery cells. Lithium-ion batteries maintain higher voltages for more extended periods than lead-acid batteries and will provide the best performance in powering the trolling motor.

Deep Cycle Amp-Hour Rating

Run Time| Voltage| Group Size| Amp-Hour
GOOD| 12| 24| 70-85
BETTER| 12| 27| 85-110
BEST| 12| 31| 95-125

QUEST series trolling motors may also be powered with leadacid (flooded, AGM, or GEL) deep-cycle marine 12-volt battery/ batteries. For best results Minn Kota recommends using a deep-cycle marine battery with rating outlined in the “Deep Cycle Amp-Hour Rating” table. Maintain lead-acid batteries at full charge. Proper care will ensure battery power when needed and significantly improve battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. Use a multi-stage charger to avoid overcharging. When using lithium-ion batteries, manufacturers may recommend storing in a semi-charged state and charging fully prior to use.
If using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, Minn Kota recommends using a separate battery/batteries for your Minn Kota trolling motor. Always check with the battery manufacturer for specific maintenance, care and storage instructions. Minn Kota also offers a wide selection of chargers to fit your charging needs. For more information on battery selection, rigging, and chargers, please visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.
WARNING
Never connect the (+) and the (–) terminals of the same battery together. Take care that no metal object can fall onto the battery and short the terminals. This would immediately lead to a short and extreme fire danger.
CAUTION
Refer to “Conductor Gauge and Circuit Breaker Sizing Table” in the previous section to find the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse for your motor. For motors requiring a 60-amp breaker, the Minn Kota MKR-27 60-amp circuit breaker (1865115) is recommended.
CAUTION
Please read the following information before connecting your motor to your batteries in order to avoid damaging your motor and/or voiding your warranty.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Using DC or Alternator Chargers
Your Minn Kota trolling motor may be designed with an internal bonding wire to reduce sonar interference. Most alternator charging systems do not account for this bonding wire, and connect the negative posts of the trolling motor batteries to the negative posts of the crank/starting battery. These external connections can damage connected electronics and the electrical system of your trolling motor, voiding your warranty. Review your charger’s manual carefully or consult the manufacturer prior to use to ensure your charger is compatible.
Minn Kota recommends using Minn Kota brand chargers to recharge the batteries connected to your Minn Kota trolling motor, as they have been engineered to work with motors that include a bonding wire. Learn more about Minn Kota chargers online at minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES IN SERIES
Additional Accessories Connected to Trolling Motor Batteries
Significant damage to your Minn Kota motor, your boat electronics, and your boat can occur if incorrect connections are made between your trolling motor batteries and other battery systems. Minn Kota recommends using an exclusive battery system for your trolling motor. Where possible, accessories should be connected to a separate battery system. Radios and sonar units should not be connected to any trolling motor battery systems as interference from the trolling motor is unavoidable. If connecting any additional accessories to any trolling motor battery system, or making connections between the trolling motor batteries and other battery systems on the boat, be sure to carefully observe the information below.
The negative (-) connection must be connected to the negative terminal of the same battery that the trolling motor negative lead connects to. In the diagrams below this battery is labeled “Low Side” Battery. Connecting to any other trolling motor battery will input positive voltage into the “ground” of that accessory,  which can cause excess corrosion. Any damage caused by incorrect connections between battery systems will not be covered under warranty.
Automatic Jump Start Systems and Selector Switches
Automatic jump start systems and selector switches tie the negatives of the connected batteries together. Connecting these systems to the “High Side” Battery or “Middle” Battery in the diagrams below and will cause significant damage to your trolling motor and electronics. The only trolling motor battery that is safe to connect to one of these systems is the “Low Side” Battery.

ONE-BOAT NETWORK

OPTIMIZING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE RIPTIDE TERROVA QUEST WITH THE WIRELESS REMOTE OR ONE-BOAT NETWORK APP
Minn Kota® and Humminbird® have joined forces to bring you the One-Boat Network, including the latest Advanced GPS Navigation Wireless Remote and the One-Boat Network app. The Wireless Remote comes from the factory paired to the trolling motor. To learn more about Wireless Remote features, refer to the Wireless Remote Owner’s Manual online at minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.

To get the most from your One-Boat Network, we encourage you to download the One-Boat Network app onto your smart device. The One-Boat Network® app is a free iOS and Android application that you can download to a mobile device, providing unparalleled control over all of your One-Boat Network connected products. Minn Kota recommends connecting the trolling motor to the OBN app to assist in these steps. For instructions on pairing the OBN app to the trolling motor, refer to the OBN Quick Start Guide included with the motor. For more information on the OBN app, refer to the One-Boat Network Owner’s Manual online at minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.

Completing the installation of the Riptide Terrova QUEST through the Wireless Remote or OBN app should be done following the Prop installation. Ensure that the trolling motor is connected to a power source before adjusting One-Boat Network settings.
WARNING
Take care that neither you nor other persons approach the turning propeller too closely, neither with body parts nor with objects. The motor is powerful and may endanger or injure you or others. Stay clear of the Prop and watch out for accidental engagement.
NOTICE: Ensure that the trolling motor is connected to a power source before adjusting One-Boat Network settings.
NOTICE: If the Wireless Remote is lost or becomes nonfunctioning during navigation, and the  ne-Boat Network app is unavailable, press the Stow Deploy Lever at the front of the Mount to cancel all active navigation and turn off the Prop.

ONE-BOAT NETWORK ADJUSTMENTS
KEEL OFFSET
The Riptide Terrova QUEST comes from the factory with the Lower Unit parallel to the Mount. When the Lower Unit is parallel to the Mount, the Keel Offset is zero. In an ideal installation, the Lower Unit will be parallel to the Keel; however, the Mount is rarely installed to be perfectly inline with the Keel, therefore the Lower Unit will not be parallel with the Keel. Nearly all installations will have some variation in mounting position to either the Port or Starboard side of the boat. The Keel Offset feature records the position of the Lower Unit when it is parallel to the Keel based on the Mount being offset from the Keel. Before adjusting the Keel Offset, complete all installation steps. This includes mounting the trolling motor to the boat and installing power and accessory cables. The Keel Offset can be recorded through the Wireless Remote or One-Boat Network App.
NOTICE: When the motor is installed from the factory, the Keel Offset is 0 degrees. When adjusting the Keel Offset, any position towards Port will create a Keel Offset of a negative angle. Any position towards Starboard will create a positive angle.

Setting the Keel Offset with the Wireless Remote
1. a. Power on the trolling motor by pressing the Power button on the Indicator Panel. When the trolling motor is on, the System Status  LED will be blue.

STRAIGHT ON DEPLOY
Minn Kota recommends setting the Keel Offset when the position of the Lower Unit is parallel with the Keel. Save the Keel Offset before exploring the Straight on Deploy feature. Straight on Deploy uses the position recorded in Keel Offset to know where to position the Lower Unit to be parallel with the Keel.
When Straight on Deploy is engaged, the lower unit will automatically rotate to the Keel Offset position when deployed. By default, the Lower Unit will be parallel to the Keel when the Mount is parallel to the Keel. If the Keel Offset was programmed to another angle, the Straight on Deploy feature will correct the position to match the Keel Offset angle when turned “on.” If Straight on Deploy is turned “off,” the trolling motor will not correct the position in any direction.

BOAT SCALE
Trolling motor performance can be impacted by factors including, but not limited to, wind, water conditions, boat specifications, battery health, wiring, etc. Boat Scale provides a method of adjusting how the trolling motor will perform to account for these and other variables. The Riptide Terrova QUEST comes from the factory with Boat Scale set to zero. Boat Scale can be adjusted up (+2) or down (-2) to increase or decrease how the motor control software applies power while using a navigation mode like Spot-Lock.
An example showing the need to reduce Boat Scale would be while using Spot- Lock and the motor is over-correcting or making frequent adjustments. In this case, try reducing Boat Scale -1 to reduce this behavior. If the behavior continues, reduce Boat Scale to -2. An example showing the need to increase Boat Scale while using Spot-Lock would be the motor is drifting away from its target location frequently or needs help to make corrections. Try increasing Boat Scale to +1 to help improve the trolling motor accuracy in this case. If the behavior continues, increase Boat Scale to +2.

ADJUSTMENTS
ROTATING THE DEPTH COLLAR
The Depth Collar is installed from the factory so that the Cam Lever opens in an upward motion when the Stow Orientation of the lower unit is Prop Left. The factory default Stow Orientation is Prop Left. The Stow Orientation can be changed to Prop Right using the wireless remote or One-Boat Network app. For more information about Stow Orientation, refer to the “One-Boat Network” section of this manual.

A Prop Right orientation turns the lower unit and shaft when stowed, causing the Depth Collar to open downward. This reduces its range of motion and creates an obstruction when placing the Depth Collar for a secure stow.

If the Stow Orientation is changed to Prop Right, the Depth Collar must be rotated on the shaft to improve accessibility. The Depth Collar is positioned correctly on the Shaft when the Cam Lever opens upward when the motor is stowed.

TOOLS AND RESOURCES REQUIRED

• 3 Phillips Screwdriver

INSTALLATION
1. a. With the Stow Orientation set to Prop Right, stow the trolling motor. Ensure that the Lower Unit is resting securely on the Fall Away Ramps and that the STOWED LED on the Indicator Panel is illuminated orange.

b. Release the Depth Collar by opening the Cam Lever.
c. Locate the single Screw on the back side of the Depth Collar. This Screw secures the Cam Lever.
d. Using a #3 Phillips Screwdriver, and with the Cam Lever open, remove the Screw from the Depth Collar. While loosening the Screw, gently open the halves of the Depth Collar to access a Spring inside. This Spring sits between the Depth Collar halves and is retained by the Screw. Take the Spring and place it onto the Screw, then set both aside for reassembly later.

e. Remove the Cam Lever from the Depth Collar and set it aside. There is a Pin contained in the Cam Lever. If the Pin slides out, place it back in before reassembly.

2. f. Remove the Depth Collar from the Shaft. Turn the Depth Collar 180° so that the screw hole in the Depth Collar sits above the Shaft.

g. Place the Depth Collar on the Shaft in the new position. For motors with a 72”, 87” or 100” shaft, the Depth Collar should sit between the Control Head and Coil Cord Slider. On motors with a 60″ shaft, the Depth Collar can sit anywhere between the Control Head and Steering Housing.

h. Pay attention to the shape of the Depth Collar halves and ensure that they close correctly around the Shaft. The Friction Pad inside the Depth Collar should sit against the groove of the Shaft.

3. i. With the Depth Collar in position on the Shaft, take the Screw and Spring that were removed earlier in the installation. Hold the Spring inside the Depth Collar against the screw hole. The Spring should sit between the Depth Collar halves. Insert the Screw into the Depth Collar so that it passes through the Spring and out the second half of the Depth Collar.

j. Take the Cam Lever and ensure that the Pin is inside. Hold the Cam Lever in position against the Depth Collar, with the threaded hole in the Pin positioned towards the Screw. Pay attention to the shape of the Cam Lever and hold it so it curves over to wrap around the Depth Collar. When positioned correctly, the curve in the Cam Lever should follow the shape of the Depth Collar when closed. Attaching the Cam Lever upside down will prevent the Depth Collar from closing.
k. Using a #3 Phillips Screwdriver, hold the Screw steady while aligning the Pin in the Cam Lever. It may be necessary to rotate the Pin inside the Cam Lever so that the threaded hole aligns with the Screw. Begin tightening the Screw so it catches the Pin. When the Screw engages with the Pin, close the Cam Lever to lock the Depth Collar. Finish tightening the Screw to 60 in-lbs.

l. Ensure that the Cam Lever is neither too loose nor too tight. If the Cam Lever is too tight, it will be difficult to open or close and the Depth Collar will not move, even when unlocked. If the Cam Lever is too loose, the Depth Collar will not securely hold the Shaft even when locked. If the Depth Collar can be forcibly pushed up or down the Shaft when locked, the Collar is too loose. Recheck the tension of the Screw and tighten or loosen as needed.

This completes the installation of your Riptide Terrova QUEST. A complete Owner’s Manual can be downloaded at minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.
