Minn Kota Terrova installation

[njg0621]

So I just got my new Terrova w\Ipilot this weekend and mounted it to the boat.  I used the mka-47 quick disconnect bracket and everything is good.  My boat came pre-wired for a 3 prong plug and the Terrova just comes with 2 wires (looks like battery connections).  My question is what male adapter do I need to buy to go from the motor to the connector on the boat?

What # thrust is it? Make sure you have the proper gauge wires on your boat so you aren't melting anything...I would've had that problem when I upgraded mine if I didn't have it re wired with 6 gauge.

I removed the factory wiring on mine and wired it direct with heavier wire as my factory plug wiring wasnt as heavy as the terrova wiring. I dont take mine off so i figured i didnt need or want a plug and cord. I have no visible wiring. Allowed me to move my batteries also to a better location for me

To the original poster - can't you just connect the battery wires from the trolling motor to the factory wiring on your boat so you can still use the 3 prong plug?
