Connection Considerations
When making the wiring connections, observe the following considerations.
-
You must connect the trolling motor to a 24 or 36 Vdc battery bank capable of supplying 60 A continuously.
-
You must connect to the power source through a circuit breaker rated for continuous 60 A (not included).
-
If necessary, you can extend the power cable using the appropriate wire gauge based on the length of the extension (Power Cable Extensions).
-
For convenience, you can install a trolling motor plug and receptacle rated for 60 A or greater (not included) in the bulkhead to make it easier to disconnect the motor from the power source.
