    Holy Grail of Trolling Motor Plugs

    It's the plug. That's where the heat is building. It's 8 gauge wire making a 5 or 6ft run with a 50AMP breaker. Everything checks out. I've owned two boats and melted multiple plugs on both during bowfishing season.

    trolling motor

    I always say that there is nothing level on a boat. Its position is dynamic depending on load distribution. Are you testing with the boat int he water or sitting on the trailer?

    Holy Grail of Trolling Motor Plugs

    Bowfishing during the day I run my motor at 50% to 100% full power non-stop until the batteries are dead, some days I'll go through two sets of batteries. I have 8 gauge wire from the plug to the batteries under the foward helm with a 50 amp breaker. It's the plug that always melts. I don't...

    Holy Grail of Trolling Motor Plugs

    Thanks to another user on here I have found the Holy Grail of trolling motor plugs. I literally melt 1 or 2 trolling motor plugs per year while bowfishing. I started with this type and it is the worst of the bunch. It is the worse of the 3 that I've tried. I could melt one of these in a...

    Any bikers out there?

    I started riding about 6 months ago looking for a way to exercise that didn't make my back hurt. I was really surprised how much I liked riding. Right now I'm avg 7 to 10 mile rides; my longest ride is 26 miles. Now that Spring is sprung here I hope to ride more and get my avg distance and...

    tm plugs

    Got my Battery Tender brand TM plug in the mail yesterday. This plug is in a different manufacturing league than the other plugs I have used. It's heavy and well made. I am very optimistic about this one and I hope it solves the headaches I have every year with TM plugs melting. Can't wait to...

    tm plugs

    You might be my saving grace.... I bowfish a lot and run 24V trolling motor at high speeds for hours on end. I usually have to replace my trolling motor plug at least once a year because I melt them....literally. I switched to the Marinco plug and thought that would last. It did last a...
