Sierra Trolling Motor Plug WH10500-1, 24V Male Motor-Side Connector, Replaces WH10490-1

The Sierra WH10500-1 is a 24 volt, male, motor-side trolling motor plug built to connect your trolling motor's power leads to the boat-side wiring harness. It comes with a 6 inch, 10 gauge wire fitted with butt connectors, so it splices directly onto existing motor wiring without additional adapters. The plug is constructed of aluminum for durable, corrosion-resistant electrical contact, and it is rated for use in saltwater applications. WH10500-1 mates with the WH10600-1 trolling motor socket to complete the connection between the motor and the boat's power supply. It is a direct equivalent to OEM part number WH10490-1, making it a straightforward replacement when the original motor-side plug fails or needs to be rewired. As with all Sierra products, it is backed by Sierra's limited warranty. Because trolling motor plugs are voltage- and gauge-specific, confirm that your system runs on 24 volts before ordering; Sierra also offers a separate 12 volt motor-side/boat-side plug and socket pair (WH10610-1 and WH10612-1) for 12 volt setups, which use a different gauge wire and are not interchangeable with the WH10500-1.
