Can anyone please tell me what kind of wiring comes with a brand new trolling motor? It's a 75 lb thrust 24 volt Motor Guide. Does it come with a plug or just the bare wires?

I have a 24 volt trolling motor on my jon boat. I don't believe in using those little cheap plugs so I always solder the 6 gauge wire together. I have only done it once before and the finished product was very sloppy and splotchy looking. It worked just fine but I didn't care for the looks of...
