Thread: Wiring trolling motor

You'll need a breaker close to the battery. That can serve as your power disconnect.

I ordered that but I need to run the wires back to my battery at the transom so trying to figure out the best way to connect the wire I'm going to buy to the wires on the trolling motor.

Here is one way to connect two dissimilar size wires. You can find right size at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
Split Bolt Connectors - Wire Connectors - Grainger Industrial Supply

Here is another way, get 2 of these that way you can disconnect them.

I like that second one but can the wire coming form the trolling motor be smaller than 6 with this?

This is Minn Kota recommendation

Yes it can, but it would require you to fill the opening wire goes in with solder. If I was building this I would try taking wire from trolling motor, strip off a little e tra cover and fold over wire to insert into spade.

They also make what is called a step down butt connector. Don't know if they have the size you need.
