Post Trolling Motor Plug
Can anyone recommend a good trolling motor plug? Is there such a thing?

I'm wanting to put one accessory plug on the front of my boat for a winch, headlights, or a trolling motor...depending on the situation. I plan on running 6 gauge wire up to it.

I'm looking at these 2:

I don't plan on using a trolling motor very often, and hopefully I won't need the winch very often...but I would like to have them all easily interchangeable.

Thanks...

I like the Connect Pro plug. I think the best you can do is mount it horizontally if possible to help keep water out. But I have not had any problems with them over the years. I have them on my HH lights and winch too so I can just plug in either at the bow or at the stearn.

I went to academy and bought a standard trolling motor plug (male surface mount) and bought three female (cable connector) and wired then to my trolling motor, lights, and winch cables. It works great! Has a spring lid that keeps crap out of it. They where like 15 bucks a piece. I looked for the link but cant find them online.

I'm asking because I've used these before, but they did not maintain a good connection:

Yea, screw that old one and get that connect pro. I just installed that one on my bow and seems pretty sturdy. Just havnt really put the testing to it yet.

use 110 AC plugs for everything in my boats.... cheap, easy to install/replace, and effective.
