Marinco 2018BP-24 4-Wire 12/24V Trolling Motor Plug, Black

The Marinco 2018BP-24 is a 4-wire 12/24V trolling motor plug built for boats running a trolling/charging system that needs both 12V and 24V power delivered to the trolling motor. The 4-wire design is internally jumpered to supply both voltages, which eliminates the need for a separate charge/run switch in the circuit, simplifying the wiring between the battery charger, the boat's onboard receptacle, and the trolling motor itself. In a typical installation, the receptacle is mounted on the boat, the black plug (this part) is mounted on the trolling motor, and the companion red plug is wired to the leads of the battery charger, keeping the polarity and function of each connector visually distinct at a glance.

The plug body is molded from durable plastic in black, sized for transom-mount installations, and rated for use in salt water environments, making it suitable for saltwater and freshwater boats alike. As a genuine Marinco part, the 2018BP-24 is built to the same fit and function as the connector it replaces, so it drops into an existing 12/24V trolling motor wiring setup without modification.
