    Default Rigging Fishfinder Battery


    Can't seem to locate the little battery terminal wire ends for 12volt sealed batteries. I have the battery ordered, but the dealer doesn't seem to have anything to fasted the wire to the battery. I'll be using the TorqMaster Mini 12V 4.5A. I saw a video on rigging it nicely in a small water tight box, but no mention of where to get the fasteners.

    I also want a trolling motor quick connect, but all I find is a 9.95 mini koto TM connector. That seems high for a little plug. Need a inline fuse too. Any cheap sources would be appreciated.

    Hey mermentau, I've got connectors to use on those batteries. You can also get them at Lowes or even Radio Shack. They have small packages. I'll see if I can get you a link.

    Thanks for that D F. Exactly what I was needing. Any clues on a quick connect like for trolling motor but cheaper.

    Just use the 1/4" one like the other side, just crimp it a little before sliding it on. There's no "load" (amperage) to speak of, it'll be fine (and is how mine is).

    I found the smaller version of the quick dis-connects similar to TM heavy duty version at either Advance auto or similar part stores for a couple $$ if I remember
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
