Every installation, every time
A Minn Kota trolling motor installation isn't just about bolting a motor to the bow. It's a mechanical and electrical installation that involves hull mounting, battery wiring, circuit protection, and in most cases, integration with your fish finder display. Done correctly, the system works seamlessly. Done poorly, you're dealing with electrical gremlins on the water when it matters most.
At CVMS, we handle the full installation: mount, wiring harness, battery connections, and Humminbird i-Pilot Link integration if your display supports it. Our team has 40+ years of marine electrical experience. We wire it right the first time.
We install on all freshwater and saltwater boat types. Bass boats, bay boats, inshore flats boats, and pontoons across Salisbury, NC and a 75-mile radius.

FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
What's the difference between the Minn Kota Ultrex and Terrova?
Both are bow mount trolling motors with i-Pilot GPS. The Ultrex adds Universal Sonar 2, which routes sonar signal through the motor shaft to a compatible transducer, eliminating a separate transducer on the bow. The Terrova is the step below, capable, but without the integrated sonar option.
Can you integrate my Minn Kota with my Humminbird fish finder?
Yes. Minn Kota i-Pilot Link connects your trolling motor to your Humminbird display so you can control spot-lock, route following, and heading hold directly from the helm. This is one of our most common installations.
What battery setup do I need for a Minn Kota trolling motor?
It depends on the motor's thrust rating and how long you fish. We assess your usage and recommend the right battery capacity, lithium or AGM, and wire it with the correct gauge and circuit protection for your specific motor.
Do you install Minn Kota on saltwater boats?
Yes. The Minn Kota Riptide series is built for saltwater use. Installation includes corrosion-resistant hardware and sealed connections appropriate for inshore and coastal environments.
How long does a Minn Kota installation take?
A standard bow mount installation with wiring typically takes one day. If i-Pilot Link integration and battery wiring are included, plan for a full day. Call us to confirm availability before you trailer in.
