How To Determine What Year Minn Kota Trolling Motor You Have

2008 and earlier serial numbers:

1. Serial numbers start with the two-letter prefix MK (Minn Kota), GN (Genesis), DH (DeckHand), CP (CoPilot), WW (Weedless Wedge 2 models), TT (Trim Tabs), or PT

2. After the two-letter prefix will be a two-letter year code:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T

Example:  If you see a motor with a MKAI designation, it will denote a Minn Kota that is a 2008 model motor


2009 and later serial numbers:

The first letter is the year code, the next 3 numbers is the number of the day of the year (out of 365), The next 2 letters are the product code, the last numbers are the serial number.

Example: If your number were this:

J003MK99999

J = 09
003= Manufactured 3rd day of the year
MK= Minn Kota
99999= Serial Number

The motor would be a 2009.
