Marinco 12VCPS3 Trolling Motor Plug and Receptacle Kit, 70 Amp, 12V/24V/36V/48V, Black

The Marinco 12VCPS3 is a 70 amp plug and receptacle kit built to connect trolling motors to their onboard power source with a secure, waterproof fit. It is designed as a universal connector, supporting 2-wire or 3-wire configurations across 12V, 24V, 12/24V, 24/36V, 36V, or 48V trolling motor systems, so it covers the majority of trolling motor setups without needing a voltage-specific part.

The plug side features an integrated strain relief to protect the wiring connection from pulling and flexing, along with a keyed design and thumbprint locator that guides the plug into the correct orientation every time, preventing misalignment during connection. The receptacle includes a watertight sealing cap to keep moisture and debris out of the electrical contacts when the plug is disconnected. Both halves use corrosion-resistant, plated brass electrical components to maintain a reliable connection in the marine environment.

Housed in black plastic, the kit measures 9 inches deep by 4.88 inches wide by 2.88 inches high and weighs 0.8 pounds. It ships as a complete set containing the 70A plug and the 70A receptacle, ready to be wired into a trolling motor circuit.
