INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE RAPTOR
Your new Raptor comes out of the box with the hardware you’ll need to install it directly to the transom of your boat. If you have an irregularly shaped transom that cannot accept a direct mount, or you prefer to mount the Raptor with an adapter bracket for ease of mounting and removal, please visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com for details on our Raptor adapter brackets. For installation with
a Raptor adapter bracket, refer to the installation instructions provided with the bracket. For compatible Raptor adapter brackets, to locate the nearest dealer, or for additional product support, please visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com. To install the Raptor directly to the boat, please follow the directions provided in these installation instructions. Please review the parts list, mounting considerations and tools needed for installation prior to getting started.

INSTALLATION PARTS LIST

Anchor Mounting Considerations

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Anchor Mounting Considerations

Minn Kota recommends mounting the Raptor directly to the transom of the boat with the built-in Mounting Bracket. Your Raptor comes complete with all the necessary hardware to mount directly to the transom. The Raptor may also be mounted using an optional adapter bracket when direct transom mounting is not possible or desired due to obstructions or irregularly shaped transoms. For more information on universal adapter brackets and other Minn Kota® Raptor accessories, please visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com. When using an adapter bracket to mount the Raptor, please use the instructions included with the accessory. In order to use the direct mount installation, the following conditions need to be met:

1. Unobstructed Mounting – When selecting the Raptor Mounting Bracket mounting location, examine your boat to ensure that you will not drill into any obstructions and that the hardware will be accessible for assembly. Make sure that the Transom is strong enough to accept the Raptor mounted at the intended location.
2. Unobstructed Deployment and Retraction – The Raptor is designed to mount on either the port or starboard side of the transom. The Raptor must have a clear, unobstructed path to deploy. Check to make sure that your proposed location will allow the anchor to deploy and retract without hitting trim tabs, poling platforms, ladders, the engine or other obstructions. You should also consider your fishing methods when selecting the mounting location.

CAUTION

Follow all instructions and heed all safety considerations. Minn Kota recommends having a second person help with installation.
Not following proper installation and rigging instructions may result in injury. Mounting the Raptor too low can cause undue drag from the Raptor or Mounting Bracket when operating the boat. It is important to mount the Raptor as recommended to avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Hydraulic Pump Mounting Considerations

Hydraulic Pump Mounting Considerations
Minn Kota recommends reviewing all mounting considerations for the hydraulic pump and hose routing for the Raptor to ensure that all circumstances are taken into account before installation.
In order to successfully route the hydraulic hoses and mount the hydraulic pump, please consider the following:

1. Hydraulic Hose Routing – The hydraulic hoses exit the anchor near the top of the built-in mounting bracket and will be routed to the hydraulic pump. When selecting the mounting location for the hydraulic pump, examine your boat to ensure that you can route hydraulic hoses to the intended hydraulic pump mounting location, and the hoses can be connected once the pump is mounted. Hoses may be routed over or through the hull of the boat. It is recommended to route hoses through an established routing on the boat, such as where the main engine lines are routed. If routing through an established routing on the boat such as the manufacturer’s boot, ect, make sure they are re-rigged and tightened to their original state when installation is complete. If drilling holes in the hull of the boat is necessary, make sure that the drilled location is free from obstructions that could damage existing gas or electrical lines. Make sure that the hoses have enough slack so that the anchor can be deployed and stowed without creating pinch points or excessive tightness along the path for the intended mounting locations. Make sure that the hoses do not pass over any sharp surfaces or edges that could cause abrasions over time. Make sure that the hydraulic hoses are not kinked or bent when routing through the boat compartment. The minimum bend radius for hose routings is 1.25 inches. Hydraulic lines shall be routed away from heat sources. There shall be no joints or connections in hydraulic lines directly over exhaust lines or high temperature manifolds. Make sure that the routed hoses do not create a tripping hazard.

2. Keep Hydraulic Lines Clean – During installation, precautions must be taken to prevent the entrance of foreign material into components or hydraulic lines. Take note of the black and green caps on the hose fittings on the hydraulic pump and hydraulic hoses. Do not prematurely remove the protective caps from the ends of the hydraulic hoses that exit the anchor or the hose fittings on the pump assembly. Keep the fill cap on the pump reservoir in place unless filling the reservoir, to keep dirt and debris from entering.
3. Hose Attachment – Install the pump in a way so that there is space between the compartment or mounting locations and the pump to attach hoses. The hose fittings are located on the manifold of the hydraulic pump between the pump reservoir and control panel. Also be sure that the location will have room to allow the hoses to pass through and maintain proper hose placement that will prevent it from bending or kinking.

4. Hydraulic Fluid and Filling Access – Make sure that the mounting location allows for the pump to be filled with hydraulic fluid. The cap to the pump assembly must be accessible to fill the hydraulic pump reservoir with hydraulic fluid. Be sure that the installation location allows access with a funnel or similar tool to aide in filling the reservoir. The pump is filled with fluid as noted on the red cap marked “Hyd Oil ISO 32”. Biodegradable Marine Hydraulic Fluid ISO 32 (Item# 2357700) is provided for the installation.
5. Secured Mounting – Mount the pump in a secure location where it will remain affixed to a rigid surface. Hydraulic components shall be secured to the boat’s structure in consideration of the potential forces transmitted. It is recommended to mount the hydraulic pump with the Two-piece Mounting Bracket provided. The Pump Assembly must be mounted vertically. If adjustments to the mounting need to be made, adjust the position of the Two-piece Bracket that will accommodate keeping the Pump Assembly vertical. Make sure that there is enough room to successfully use the tools needed to secure the installation hardware to the intended mounting location. Make sure that the hydraulic hoses will not be kinked or bent when attached to the pump. Options for mounting the pump include:

WARNING

Do not run the Hydraulic Pump until after hydraulic fluid has been added. Running the Hydraulic Pump without hydraulic fluid can damage the pump.

Installing the Raptor

Installing the Raptor

Rotating the Pump Reservoir

Rotating the Pump Reservoir
After reviewing the mounting considerations for your installation, you may have identified that the reservoir on your Pump Assembly needs to be rotated. If your installation requires rotating the Pump Reservoir, please follow the instructions below. If your installation does not require the Pump Reservoir to be rotated, please see “Installing the Hydraulic Pump ” section of these instructions.

Installing the Hydraulic Pump

Installing Hydraulic Hoses

Installing Hydraulic Hoses
Review the Mounting Considerations at the beginning of installation and then locate the Hydraulic Hoses attached to the Raptor. There will be a green Cap on one hose, designated as the hose controlling the UP/retract function. The hose with the black cap is designated for the DOWN/deploy function. The hose with the black cap (DOWN) extends further from the Raptor due to its mounting position within the Raptor. Determine if hydraulic hoses may be routed through an established route on the boat to the Hydraulic Pump. The Hydraulic Hoses are 15 feet in length. If longer hoses are needed for your installation, Minn Kota recommends the Raptor Hydraulic Hose Extension Kit 2771401. If holes need to be drilled to provide a suitable routing for the installation location of the connected components, please give consideration to the following:

1. Above Water Line – If drilling holes to route the Hydraulic Hoses through the Hull, Transom, or other appropriate structure of the boat, make sure that the holes drilled are above the water line when the boat sits in water.
2. Minimum Clearance – It is recommended to place the holes a minimum of 1 inch from any obstruction to allow for complete installation of the Grommet. This may include structural changes to the selected location such as seams or structural supports and the presence of any existing hardware such as ladders, brackets and existing accessories.
3. Hole Spacing – Two separate holes will need to be drilled for the Hydraulic Hoses. There is a rubber Grommet on each hose. The intention is to use the Grommet to cover the space between the hose and the transom where the holes are drilled. To allows space for the hoses and a proper seal on the Grommet, drill the holes between 1-1/2 and 2 inches apart.

WARNING

• Only use hydraulic hose approved by Johnson Outdoors with the Raptor. The use of unapproved hydraulic components may cause damage, unexpected operation, or injury.
• Do not allow hoses to kink, twist, curl, be crushed or bent in a manner that blocks or reduces the flow of fluid within the hose. The minimum bend radius for the hydraulic hoses is 1.25 inches.
• Do not overtighten hydraulic connections.

Installing Hydraulic Hoses

CAUTION

Make sure that the Raptor anchor is deployed and the Spike is touching the ground if hydraulic pressure is not present. This includes before the Pump Assembly is filled with hydraulic fluid and any time changes to the Hydraulic Circuit are made. Changes to the Hydraulic Circuit may include adjustments to the Hydraulic Hoses, or adjustments to the bypass valves. Changes to pressure in the Hydraulic Circuit may cause the Raptor to fall and pose a striking hazard due to gravity. Rest the Spike on the ground to avoid this hazard.

Installing the Remote Bracket

Installing the Remote Bracket
The Raptor comes with a remote. Mounting the Remote Bracket to your boat is an optional installation. The Remote Bracket is only intended to hold one remote. Mounting the Remote Bracket in the boat is based on personal preference. It is recommended to mount the Remote Bracket to a flat surface where the remote can be easily accessed for anchor control. Avoid a space where the buttons on the remote may be accidentally actuated. To mount the bracket, follow the steps below:

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 qualified marine technician. The following specifications are for general guidelines only.

**** CAUTION

Please read the following information before connecting your Raptor(s) to your battery in order to avoid damaging your product and/or voiding your warranty.

**** CAUTION

These guidelines apply to general rigging to support your Minn Kota product. Powering multiple Raptors 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 qualified 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. 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 5% voltage drop allowed at full power based on published product power requirements.

NOTICE: Wire Extension Length refers to the distance from the batteries to the Raptor leads. Maximum Amp Draw values only occur intermittently during select conditions and should not be used as continuous amp load ratings.

Reference
United States Code of Federal Regulations: 33 CFR 183 – Boats and Associated Equipment ABYC E-11: AC and DC Electrical Systems on Boats

SELECTING THE CORRECT BATTERIES
The Raptor will operate with any lead acid, marine 12 volt battery. For best results, Minn Kota recommends connecting to the starting battery. The Raptor may operate with a Lithium Ion battery. Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will ensure having battery power when you need it, and will significantly improve the 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. We offer a wide selection of chargers to fit your charging needs. For more information on battery selection and rigging, please visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.

The Raptor draws a small amount of residual current from the battery even when not in use. If the Raptor will not be used for more than a month, the Raptor power leads should be disconnected from the battery. Avoid connecting the Raptor to the same batteries that a trolling motor or other accessories are connected to. It is recommended the Raptor be connected to the Starting Battery through a battery selector or power disconnect switch. This will disconnect power to the Raptor when the Power Switch is “off”. If you are not using a battery selector/power disconnect switch, the Raptor may be connected directly to the Starting Battery.

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.

For proper ABYC compliance, when the factory fuse has been removed, the user must install a 30A fuse within 7″ of the positive battery terminal.

NOTICE: The in-line re-settable 30A fuse is designed to protect the system. If this fuse repeatedly trips, faulty wiring could be the cause and must be corrected. If the re-settable fuse itself is suspect, Minn Kota recommends contacting customer service for a proper replacement.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES 12 Volt Systems

1. If connecting to an optional battery selector/power disconnect switch, turn it to the “off” position prior to connecting the power cable.
2. Connect positive ( + ) white lead to positive ( + ) battery terminal, or switch positive.
3. Connect negative ( – ) black lead to negative ( – ) battery terminal, or switch negative.

WARNING

Observe proper polarity and follow instructions in your boat owner’s manual regarding polarity.

4. The Pump Assembly will beep to indicate Power “on”. There is NO “on/off” switch. To remove power from the Pump Assembly, the Raptor must be powered “off” by removing the leads from the battery terminals, or switch.

WARNING

Do not run the Hydraulic Pump until after hydraulic fluid has been added. Running the Hydraulic Pump without hydraulic fluid can damage the pump.

WARNING

• The Raptor draws a small amount of residual current from the battery even when not in use. If the Raptor is not be used for more than a month, or while the battery/batteries are being charged, the Raptor power leads should be disconnected from the battery. It is recommended the Raptor be connected to the Starting Battery through a battery selector or power disconnect switch. This will disconnect power to the Raptor when the Power Switch is “off”. If you are not using a battery selector/switch, the Raptor may be connected directly to the starting battery.
• Keep lead wire connections tight and solid to the battery or switch terminals.
• The Starting Battery should be located in a ventilated compartment to avoid sparks from combustible materials.

WARNING

Never disconnect hydraulic components while power is applied and bypass valves are not open.

COMPLETING INSTALLATION

COMPLETING THE RAPTOR INSTALLATION
At this point in the installation, the Raptor anchor and Pump Assembly have been successfully mounted to the boat and CAUTION connected to a power source. The Hydraulic Hoses have also been routed and connected to the Pump Assembly. Since the motion of the anchor is also controlled by the use of hydraulics, to complete the installation, the Pump Assembly needs to be filled with hydraulic fluid and go through a deploy/retract sequence to bleed the hydraulic lines. The final steps in installation will include confirming the Bluetooth connection between the remotes that
come paired with the anchor from the factory and the Pump Assembly. Before using the Raptor for its intended purpose, confirm that the installation of the components is complete and then finalize the installation for successful operation.

CAUTION

Because of the mechanical pressure from the use of hydraulics, avoid injury by making sure the mechanical installation of the Raptor anchor and Pump Assembly is complete before finalizing the installation. Hydraulic pressure from unsecured components may cause unexpected operation and movement of components.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION

Filling the Pump with Hydraulic Fluid and Bleeding the Hydraulic Lines
In order to complete the installation, the Pump Assembly needs to be connected to a power source. If the Pump is not connected to a power source, review the “Battery & Wiring Installation” section of these instructions.

Filling the Pump with Hydraulic Fluid and Bleeding the Hydraulic Lines

Securing the Hydraulic Hoses

Securing the Hydraulic Hoses

Once the Hydraulic Pump has been bled, the Hydraulic Hoses should be set for their final hose routings. It is important to secure hoses to ensure that the hose routings remain clean and maintained for safe operation. Minn Kota recommends securing the Hydraulic Hoses with tie wraps along the hose routings.

WARNING

• Periodically inspect hoses for signs of wear or damage. Operation of the Raptor system with a worn or damaged hydraulic hose may cause damage, unexpected operation or injury.
• In the event a hydraulic hose ruptures, bursts or becomes disconnected during operation, immediately shut off power at the pump assembly and manually relieve pressure in the hydraulic system using the manual bypass valves.
• Do not grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands. Do not feel for hydraulic leaks with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious injury.

RAPTOR CONTROL

PAIRING THE RAPTOR

NETWORK FOR TWO RAPTORS

PAIRING TWO RAPTORS AND PROGRAMMING THE MOUNTING LOCATION
Every Raptor comes direct from the factory with a Remote already paired to the Raptor. When installing two Raptors, it will first be necessary to clear all devices from both Raptor networks. To clear the pairing in each Raptor, follow the instructions in the “Clearing Paired Remotes or Devices from the Raptor” section of the Owner’s Manual. Once both Raptor networks are cleared, the Raptors can then be paired together. The clear Raptor networks will allow the system to complete an automated process during pairing that will designate the Port and Starboard positions of the two Raptors as installed on the boat. The process below is used to pair the Raptors together, and to designate which side of the boat that each Raptor is installed on. Once complete, the Raptor remotes will need to be re-paired to the dual Raptor system. Please see the “Pairing a Remote to Two Raptors” section of this manual to pair a remote. Additional Bluetooth enabled devices may now be added to the One Boat Network such as a Hummin bird fish finder, an i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link system, and a device such as a smartphone or tablet.

PAIRING A REMOTE TO TWO RAPTORS

In order to Pair a remote to the Raptor, please be sure to first Pair the Raptors together. When two Bluetooth Raptors are paired together, all remotes that were paired to an individual Raptor will unpair. Please see the “Pairing Two Raptors and Programming the Mounting Location” section of this manual. If the two Raptors are already paired together, a remote can be paired to the dual Raptors. Either Raptor in the network can be used to Pair a remote to the dual Raptor. If more remotes are paired to the dual Raptors than the network allows, the Raptor will pair the new remote and remove the remote that was least recently used from the network. When the pairing process is complete, the remote will be able to control both Raptors.

CLEARING PAIRED REMOTES OR DEVICES FROM THE RAPTOR
The Raptor was designed so that all paired devices can be cleared from memory.

CLEARING A PAIRED RAPTOR FROM THE REMOTE

THE RAPTOR APP

WARNING
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your boat. This product does not relieve you from the responsibility for safe operation of your boat.
You must avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they develop. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat.

Check the Application and Raptor Software Version on the App

When a Raptor is paired with a device, the Raptor app on the device records information about the paired Raptor(s), including the software version installed on each. This information can be used to detect if a Raptor requires a software update. To check the software version on paired Raptor(s), follow the steps below.

Pairing a Device with Two Raptors
In order for the Raptor App to pair two Raptors to the device, the Raptors first need to be paired together. To learn how to pair two Raptors together, read the “Pairing Two Raptors and Programming the Mounting Location” section of the Raptor Manual. Once the Raptors are paired together, follow the directions for “Pairing a Device with a Single Raptor”. Only one Raptor needs to be paired with the device where the Raptor App is installed.

Forgetting a Raptor on a Device

Once a device is paired to a Raptor, it will remember the device, even if the device and the Raptor are not actively communicating. In some cases, it may be necessary to clear the memory on the device and forget any paired Raptors. To do this, use the Bluetooth settings on the device.

Raptor Control and Disable Auto-Lock
Most devices are programmed to Auto-Lock the device screen after a certain amount of time has lapsed where the device has been inactive. In these cases, when the user had the Raptor app open to control the Raptor and returns to the device, the screen may be locked. In order to control the Raptor, the device will first need to be unlocked to control the Raptor with the app. This Auto- Lock feature can be disabled from the Raptor app in order to immediately control the Raptor after the device has been inactive. To turn Auto-Lock “on”, open the Raptor app and navigate to the Menu. Scroll to the bottom of the Menu and find the Disable Auto-Lock setting. When the toggle is slid “on” and appears yellow, the Disable Auto-Lock is engaged and will prevent the device screen from locking when the device experiences moments of inactivity. With this feature enabled, the device will immediately control the Raptor.

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