Sierra Female Boat Side Trolling Motor Socket WH10490-1, 12 Volt, Pack of 100, Use with WH10480-1

The Sierra WH10490-1 is a 12 Volt female boat-side trolling motor socket, sold in a pack of 100. It is the female half of a two-piece trolling motor wiring connection, designed to be permanently wired into the boat's power circuit so the trolling motor's mating plug can be quickly connected or disconnected at the transom or bow mount. Each socket comes pre-fitted with a 6 inch length of 10 gauge wire terminated with butt connectors, making it a drop-in splice point for connecting to the boat's existing 10 gauge power leads without additional crimping hardware beyond the supplied connectors.

This socket is designed for use with the Sierra WH10480-1 mating plug, which forms the male side of the same 12 Volt connection. Because trolling motor plug-and-socket sets are voltage-specific, it is important to pair the WH10490-1 socket only with 12 Volt components; a separate 24 Volt socket and plug set exists under different part numbers for 24 Volt trolling motor systems. Sold in bulk packs of 100, this item is intended for boat builders, dealers, and service shops wiring or rewiring multiple trolling motor circuits.
