MotorGuide8M0092065 Trolling Motor Replacement Plug — Medium Duty, Use with 16- to 8-Gauge Wire, Connects with Receptacle, Black

This plug was exactly what I was looking for and save me a lot of money

This is a direct replacement for my Xi5 36VMotor Guide trolling motor, and it works well. I would like these to be made sturdier as this is my third plug in three years. I do fish a lot and plug and unplug the trolling motor so I can remove the trolling motor from the front of the boat at the end of the day and place it under the boat cover to keep it out of site at the docks. The two before this one broke internally on the upright plastic piece that holds the wires secure. This wouldn't happen if the outer grip would stay in place and not twist. I have glued the outer grip this time in hopes that doesn't happen again.

There’s no instruction on how to disassemble this plug to wire the trolling motor. So I grab some pliers and twist, thinking it screws on and off.Buzzer!Snap. The cheaply made brackets that adhere the wire to the plug both bust in a second.I ended up throwing this in the trash and buying a different model. But DO NOT twist to remove the coating to expose where to connect the wires. The shaft should come right off if you gently stroke the outer section while holding the inner section at the base of the unit.Or do what I did - break it and have to buy a different model.Up to you!

Easy to connect work perfect.

No information on how to attach the wires to the male plug. Had to pry the bottom of the male end with a screwdriver to properly attach the wires. You can not get continuity by just taking a test with it together. You have to take it apart to do so.

Original melted and lost connection. This was a perfect replacement.
