MENOMONEE FALLS, Wisconsin – As a global leader in Marine Electrical Equipment, Marinco is honoured that the new 70A trolling motor plug and receptacle has recently been named one of the top 50 products of 2017 by Boating Industry. Each year, Boating Industry selects the top 50 products in the Marine Industry from hundreds of submissions.

70 AMP TROLLING MOTOR PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
Today's trolling motors are becoming increasingly powerful and complex. Many have a continuous amp draw of over 50A, while most trolling motor plugs on the market are only rated for 40A. If the amp draw of the motor exceeds the capacity of the plug, the result can be burned wires, damaged circuits, and potential safety issues. For this reason, Marinco has developed a new 70A trolling motor plug and receptacle. Its capacity exceeds the requirements of the highest amp draw trolling motors, protecting against overheating, and damaged electronics.

Intuitive design features make the trolling motor plug and receptacle simple to install and use. Innovative floating stage pins ensure maximum conductivity. The small footprint, waterproof design protects circuitry from water intrusion and corrosion. Keyed indexes make sure the plug and receptacle are always in the proper alignment. Compatible with all 12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V trolling motors.
