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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marinco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018BP-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\/24 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transom Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salt Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Marinco 2018BP-24 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Marinco 2018BP-24 is a 4-wire 12\/24V trolling motor plug that supplies both 12V and 24V power to a trolling motor from the boat's charging system, removing the need for a separate charge\/run switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 2018BP-24 the plug or the receptacle?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the black plug, which is designed to mount on the trolling motor; the matching receptacle is installed on the boat and the red plug wires to the battery charger leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Marinco 2018BP-24 plug?\u003c\/strong\u003e Black.
