Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install this quick connect plug?
Installation is incredibly simple. You cut your trolling motor power cables and splice the motor side into one half of the MKR-12 plug. Then, you splice the battery-side wires into the other half of the MKR-12 plug. Use marine-grade heat shrink butt connectors (not included) to ensure your splices are waterproof.
Can I use this on a 24V or 36V system?
The MKR-12 utilizes 10-gauge wire, which is primarily rated for 12V systems and lower-thrust 24V setups (like a 70lb PowerDrive). If you are running a massive 80lb or 112lb continuous-draw motor, this 10-gauge wire will create a bottleneck and overheat. For high-thrust 24V/36V systems, you need a plug rated for 6-8 AWG wire, such as the Minn Kota MKR-26.
Will this rust if it gets wet in the bottom of my boat?
While the plastic housing is durable and protects the internal prongs, this is an "inline" plug and is not fully watertight like a threaded deck receptacle. Try to keep the connection elevated out of sitting bilge water to prevent long-term corrosion.
