What is the best plug and receptacle to use for my trolling motor?
o The Power Winch plug. It can be bought from Mike at Master Repair. He quit using the Marinco plugs. o The receptacle that comes on the pathfinder is known to have problems. o Be very careful with those trolling motor plugs. I recently had mine catch fire while on the water. I now have a new item on my check list. Read instructions on how to operate the fire extinguisher before every trip. I had minor damage to the boat around the anchor locker. I can only guess that after two years, it had a partial short that finally built up enough resistance to heat it up and cause a fire. Make sure that your trolling motor electrical connection has a 50 amp re-settable circuit breakers on per MotorGuide instructions. I had to buy a new hatch cover and now you can’t tell it ever happened. Special thanks to the Maverick folks who helped me out.
