Pair the Mobile Device to the Trolling Motor
Once you have signed in to the One-Boat Network App, the app will walk you through connecting your mobile device to your Humminbird and Minn Kota devices.
- Enable Bluetooth on the Mobile Device
- Open the Settings menu.
- Select Bluetooth.
- Select On and keep the Bluetooth menu open and proceed to the next procedure.
- Enable Pairing Mode on the Trolling Motor: Press and hold the Pair PAIR button on the trolling motor Control Head. The trolling motor will emit a continuous tone while in Pairing Mode.
- Navigate to the Bluetooth Settings on your mobile device.
- Select “Minn Kota Controller 4.0” under the Bluetooth Device List. It may take a moment for the trolling motor to appear in the menu. Continue to hold the Pair button during this process.
- The trolling motor will emit 3 beeps when the pairing is successfully completed and you may release the Pair button. If 30 seconds pass while in Pairing Mode and they do not successfully pair, an error tone will sound from the trolling motor Control Head, signaling that the pairing has timed out. If unsuccessful, repeat the process.
