Sierra WH10470-1 Female Boat Side 12V Trolling Motor Socket, Use with WH10520-1

The Sierra WH10470-1 is a female boat side trolling motor socket built for 12 volt trolling motor wiring setups. It comes pre-wired with a 6 inch length of 8 gauge wire fitted with butt connectors, making it a straightforward drop-in replacement when rewiring the boat side connection of a trolling motor circuit. The socket accepts the matching male plug on the motor side, letting the trolling motor be quickly connected and disconnected from the boat's power wiring without re-splicing every time the motor is removed.

Constructed with metal contacts in a black housing, the socket is designed to handle the current draw of a 12 volt trolling motor circuit while resisting the corrosion and vibration common in marine environments. Because it is the boat side (female) half of the connection, it is intended to be used together with the matching WH10470-1 wiring, and Sierra specifies pairing it with the WH10520-1 for a complete boat side and motor side connection set. This makes it a practical choice for boat owners rewiring a damaged trolling motor plug, upgrading old or corroded wiring, or building a new trolling motor power connection from scratch.
