Minn Kota Powerdrive installation question

[gilligan60]

I just installed a Minn Kota Powerdrive 40 on my 1994 Lund 1700. On the front of this boat, there is a flip up cap with a two prong receptacle inside for plugging in a trolling motor (I think). On my new trolling motor, there is the cord for plugging in the foot control, and two more cords (red &black) for connecting the unit to a battery.

What would I need to buy to be able to just plug in the trolling motor, instead of using the two battery connections? Is there a "two prong adapter" or something like that which would work? Thnaks much!

You can buy a 2 prong plug to plug her in, Gilligan, but you may have to buy the set (plug and socket) to get it.

Good luck.

The plug is available separately. Most any store that sells boating/fishing supplies have them including WalMart, most farm stores, Cabela's, Bass Pro, Dicks, and of course, right here on iBoats. You cut the clips/ring terminals off your wires and splice them to the pigtails on the new plug.
