12V Single 8-Gauge Trolling Motor Quick Connect Connector

Product details

Matched to the 8-gauge leads used on most 12V trolling motors, the RCE12VB8 gives you a clean, positive-lock connection at the battery. Splice it onto your motor leads once and you'll never fight a wing nut again.

Connect-Ease's patented, self-cleaning, positive-lock connectors replace wing nuts and stacked ring terminals at the battery. Install once and every connection after that is plug-and-play — no tools, no crossed wires, no corroded posts, and batteries come out in seconds for charging or winter storage.

Compatible trolling motors and vehicles: Minn Kota Endura, Traxxis, PowerDrive, Terrova and Riptide (12V models); MotorGuide X3, R3 and Xi3 (12V); Newport Vessels and Watersnake 12V motors.

System voltage: 12V. Recommended batteries: 12V deep-cycle AGM, flooded lead-acid or 12.8V LiFePO4 lithium (Group 24/27/31, 50–120Ah). Amperage and protection: Plan for up to 50A continuous draw on 12V motors (30–55 lb thrust). Protect with a 50A breaker per motor maker.
