Marinco 70A Trolling Motor Plug and Receptacle

Description

• Sealed bow plug and receptacle, 70A at 12V or 24V, 60A at 36V or 48V
• Keyed, so it only goes in one way
• Takes 8 or 6 AWG wire with set-screw terminals

A bow plug lets you pull the trolling motor off the boat, or swap motors, without unbolting wires at the battery. The receptacle mounts in a 1-3/4 in. hole in a panel up to 1 in. thick, and a cap seals it when the motor is unplugged. It works for 2- or 3-wire hookups, so a 24/36V motor is covered too. On a 36V motor, plan around the 60A rating. Our trolling motor battery guide covers wire and breaker sizing, and the motor fit pages list what each motor asks for.

Good fit if: You want to unplug or swap the bow motor without touching the battery wires, on a 12, 24, 36 or 48V system.

Not the pick if: Your motor draws more than 70A at 12/24V or 60A at 36/48V, or your run needs wire heavier than 6 AWG at the plug.
