Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a 60-amp rated plug?

When running your trolling motor on high in heavy wind or current, it pulls maximum continuous amperage. Standard 40-amp or 50-amp plugs create a bottleneck, causing resistance. That resistance turns into severe heat, which causes voltage drops (slower motor speeds) and can physically melt the plastic plug to your deck. The 60-amp rating eliminates this bottleneck.

Does this plug screw together, or just push in?

The MKR-26 features a highly secure threaded collar. Once you push the male plug into the female receptacle, you twist the outer collar to lock it in place. This creates a watertight seal and ensures rough waves won't vibrate the plug loose.

Is this plug safe to use in saltwater environments?

Absolutely. The MKR-26 utilizes silver-plated electrical terminals and a fully sealed waterproof design, making it highly resistant to corrosion in both freshwater and harsh saltwater (Riptide) applications.
