Trolling Motor Power Receptacle
Garmin Trolling Motor Power Receptacle (Part Number: 010-12832-42) is a heavy-duty, high-amp connector designed specifically for the Garmin Force and Force Kraken trolling motors. It provides a secure, watertight mounting point at the bow or bulkhead, allowing you to easily disconnect the motor for trailering, storage, or maintenance without disturbing battery connections.
Key Specifications & Features
- Power Capacity: Rated for 70A, providing ample headroom for 24V or 36V systems.
- Compatibility: Designed for use with the Garmin Force Trolling Motor Power Plug (Part Number: 010-12832-41).
- Durability: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials suitable for harsh marine environments.
- Safety Requirement: Garmin recommends pairing this setup with a 60A continuous circuit breaker in the positive lead to protect the system.
Installation Highlights
- Hole Size: Installation typically requires drilling or expanding an existing hole to 1 3/4 inches.
- Wiring: The receptacle uses robust internal terminals (often requiring an Allen key) to secure heavy-gauge wires. Ensure you use the appropriate wire gauge for your total run length to prevent voltage drop.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the contacts for heat or corrosion and apply a light film of dielectric grease to the mating surfaces for long-term reliability.
