Trolling Motor Plug
 

Does anyone know where i can find a plug like this for my trolling motor in Lake Charles, i am goign to call west marine in the morning and hope they have one, i can not find any in Alexandria and i am heading to the camp tomorrow. if i have to i can buy a different plug and plate and replace both but i would rather just buy the male end.

Jerrys Marine used to have them, West Marine should have them also

That's a regular twist lock plug, all electrical warehouses will have it, like Teche electric, Graybar or wholesale electric. May even have them at Home Depot r lowes but not sure

yeah went to lowes and home depot today, but the ones they had did not match the pattern going to try the supply house in the morning.

Jerry's marine had em I thought when I went in other day. Makes marine in Broussard got em fasho. I have one I cut off I believe u can have it

For trolling motor plugs [or any electrical connections], corrosion is a major problem on boats used in saltwater.

If you don't take your trolling motor off the boat......why have a plug?

The best thing to do [IMO] is to eliminate the plug and "hard wire" it and coat it to keep saltwater away from the connection.

Get you 2 of the copper clamps shown in the picture and a bottle of Liquid tape. These clamps are sold electrical supply places and the Home Depot here in Lake Charles has the smaller size. Lowe's does not have the small size......I bought a pack in May to replace my plug that corroded after 9 month.

The clamps and liquid tape will cost about $ 11

Cut the red wire about 1.5" different length from the black wire, so that the clamps will be about 1" apart after they are installed.

Oh.....don't forget to first disconnect the "Positive" wire from the battery.

Academy is where I bought mine

Yep, try Elliot or Sequel in Alexandria, but those mentioned above and add CED in Sulphur to your list.

There is a number on the face of that plug that designates the configuration something like "L30-P"

The "P" is for plug and the rest is the "monkey face"
With that number you should be able to make some calls.

I have a extra if you haven't found one yet I live in pineville let me know I can meet you with it

wiring
 

i just have mine hard wired... it doesnt come off my boat so i fig why put a plug..... the trollling motor foot or hand control has an "OFF" setting.. and i just disconnect the battery when i store it after its charged.... hope that helps

Ditto----i put a perko switch in the line as a kill switch.

I did away with my plug too. I soldered it then heat shrinked over the solder, then liquid electric tape over the shrink. No corrosion issues so far, and I think it is a much neater way to do it. No excess wire flopping around, and no plug to kick

There should be another number before the 30 which indicates the style. The 30 stands for the amperage looks like a L14-30

correct sir!

I think I posted that after a bourbon or 7......maybe 8
