Designed for Trolling Motors

The Marinco ConnectPro system is particularly well suited to electric trolling motor installations.

Trolling motors can draw substantial current, making the quality of the electrical connection between the motor and battery system particularly important.

Poor electrical connections can create excessive resistance, voltage drop and heat, potentially reducing the power available to the trolling motor.

The ConnectPro system is designed to provide excellent electrical current-carrying capacity through a secure plug and receptacle connection.

For boat owners who regularly remove their trolling motor, it also provides a convenient disconnect point without permanently hard-wiring the motor to the vessel.

40 Amp Marine Electrical Connection

The Marinco ConnectPro plug has a maximum rating of 40 amps, making it suitable for compatible higher-current marine equipment.

This makes the system particularly useful for equipment such as:

• Electric trolling motors

• Electric downriggers

• Compatible fishing equipment

• High-power marine accessories

• Other suitable DC equipment within the system's electrical rating

Always confirm the maximum current requirements of the connected equipment before installation.

12V, 24V & 36V Compatible

One of the major advantages of the ConnectPro system is its ability to work with 12V, 24V or 36V 2-wire DC systems.

This makes it suitable for a broad range of electric trolling motor installations, from smaller 12V motors through to compatible higher-voltage systems.

The voltage of the electrical system does not change the need to correctly size the cable, circuit protection and associated electrical components for the current being carried.

Secure Locking Connection

Marine electrical connectors are exposed to continuous vibration and movement.

The ConnectPro system uses a locking plug and receptacle arrangement designed to maintain a secure physical and electrical connection.

Its spring-clamping connection helps maintain positive electrical contact, reducing the likelihood of a poor connection caused by vibration.

This is particularly valuable aboard trailer boats and fishing boats operating in rough water.

Waterproof Plug Connection

The ConnectPro plug incorporates an O-ring seal designed to provide a waterproof connection when correctly connected to the matching receptacle.

The plug also features a weather-resistant cover.

These features help protect the electrical connection from the demanding conditions encountered aboard boats.

Weather-Resistant Receptacle

The matching ConnectPro receptacle includes a weather-resistant sealing cap to protect the socket when the equipment is disconnected.

Drain holes in the receptacle are designed to help keep water away from the internal electrical components.

This makes the system particularly suitable for installations in exposed areas of fishing boats where spray and moisture are common.
