Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Find quick answers about the Battery Harness before you buy

This all-in-one wiring kit helps you power your trolling motor cleanly from a battery mounted elsewhere in the boat. It includes marine-grade wire, quick-connect plugs, protective loom, and accessories for a tidy, reliable installation.

1. 🔌 What is it, in plain English?

It’s a complete trolling motor wiring kit that lets you route power from your battery (often aft) to your trolling motor neatly under the gunwale. It includes marine-grade 8-AWG tinned copper wire, protective loom, quick-connect plugs, and the accessories needed for a clean install. Many kits include a resettable 60-amp breaker for protection.

2. 📦 What does the kit include?

Two quick-connect plugs (boat/battery side and motor side), 20′ red positive + 20′ black negative 8-AWG tinned marine wire in protective loom, 14″ crossover leads (24V/36V setups), heat-shrink butt splices, and install instructions. Current bundles may also include a 60-amp circuit breaker.

3. 🔋 Which voltages does it support (12V/24V/36V)?

All three. Use the included crossover leads to wire 24V or 36V series batteries per the diagram, then plug the motor in via the quick-connect.

4. 🧰 Why 8-gauge marine wire—will it handle my thrust?

8-AWG tinned copper is a standard spec for typical small-boat trolling-motor distances and current draw. To minimize voltage drop, keep runs as short as practical and follow your motor manufacturer’s recommended breaker/fuse rating.

5. 🛡️ Is a circuit breaker included, and what size should I use?

This trolling motor wiring kit includes a 60-amp resettable breaker. Always check your motor’s manual for the required protection rating; if it differs, follow the motor manufacturer’s guidance.

6. 📏 How long is the cable—can I leave my battery at the stern?

Yes. The harness provides 20 feet of positive and 20 feet of negative 8-AWG cable in protective loom, allowing you to keep the battery aft and free up space at the bow.

7. 🛶 What boats does it work with?

This trolling motor wiring kit is universal. Use it on jon boats, utility boats, bass boats, pontoons, and kayaks when you want a tidy power run and quick disconnects.

8. 🤝 Will it work with my Pro Controll EZ Mount or EZ Mount II setup?

Yes. The harness pairs well with bow-mounted transom motors on EZ Mount/EZ Mount II by providing power up front while the battery stays aft.

9. 🔧 How hard is installation—what tools do I need?

This trolling motor wiring kit is straightforward to install. Route the loom under the gunwale, terminate with the provided heat-shrink butt splices, mount the breaker near the battery, and connect the quick-connect plugs. A crimper, a heat source for the heat-shrink, and basic hand tools are typically sufficient.

10. 🌊 Is it saltwater-friendly?

Yes. Components are marine-grade and corrosion-resistant (tinned copper wire, sealed splices, protective loom). Rinse after salt exposure and periodically inspect/retighten terminals.

11. ↩️ What’s the return policy and warranty?

Standard policy is 30-day returns with a one-year limited warranty on the product. Check the current product page for the latest terms.

12. 💵 What’s the price and availability?

Pricing can vary by retailer and bundle (with or without breaker). See the product page on your preferred retailer or rmioutdoorskc.com for the current price and stock.

      13.⚡ Which trolling motors are compatible?

This trolling motor wiring kit works with most hand-controlled, transom-mount electric trolling motors (e.g., Minn Kota Endura/Traxxis, MotorGuide R-series, Newport Vessels NV). It is not intended for foot-controlled or GPS-steer bow motors.
