MotorGuide Trolling Motor Power Receptacle, 50A, 2-Prong, 12/24/36V

Overview

The MotorGuide 8M4000954 is a 50A trolling motor power receptacle that gives you a solid two-prong connection for 12V, 24V, or 36V systems.

It’s the boat-side connection point that pairs with the matching MotorGuide 50A trolling motor plug to make a clean quick-disconnect at the bow. That’s handy when you trailer often, pull the motor for storage, or want a simple way to isolate trolling motor power without leaving loose leads exposed.

Key features

• 50A continuous rating for trolling motor power connections
• Two-prong receptacle for 12V, 24V, or 36V setups
• Matches the MotorGuide 50A Trolling Motor Plug (8M4000953)
• Creates a quick-disconnect point near the trolling motor mount for faster rigging and removal
• Fixed receptacle location helps keep the bow wiring tidy and easier to secure

Compatibility and fit

This receptacle is meant for trolling motor installations using a two-prong, 50A-style plug connection. Confirm your trolling motor lead uses the matching two-prong plug style and that the rest of your wiring and overcurrent protection are appropriate for a 50A connection point.

Installation and setup

Mount the receptacle where the trolling motor lead can reach without being stretched during stow and deploy, commonly near the bow panel or close to a quick-release bracket location. Route the boat-side feed so it’s supported along the run, protected from chafe, and kept out of standing water.

After wiring, keep the connection clean and dry in use, and periodically check for heat discoloration, looseness, or corrosion. A small amount of dielectric grease on the contact surfaces can help slow oxidation in humid or salt-affected environments.
