Description

Our Minnkota Power Lead Retainer Upgrade solves a number of electrical installation problems. Firstly, freshwater versions of most Minnkota motors use non tinned power wire.  Secondly, this upgrade allows the use of 8 AWG wire, which is larger than what is supplied.  Lastly, you can run a new power lead directly to the battery, or your plug, without splices or soldering.

Oversizing your wire to save power?  This strain relief helps with that. Since it allows use of a larger wire on the main power lead going into the motor.  Wiring going into the motor goes from 10 AWG to 8 AWG.

In many cases, Minnkota’s rigging guide specifies use of 8AWG wire. For further information on this, check out our “Trolling Motor Wire Calculator” here:

Check if your Trolling Motor falls into this category.   If it does, you can also order a complete length of 8 AWG duplex wire for whatever length you need.  And we will install better than factory quick connects, and our custom designed wire connector boots.  So everything will even dryer than before.

There are two versions of this part and the kit.  This version fits:

Minnkota Ulterra
