There's gotta be a better way... Trolling motor plug wiring.

[Moose-Hunter]

I have a 24v receptacle in the bow and my new Terrova. (Thanks Dave!) The power cord on the Terrova has two little loop connectors. Typically, you cut these off and wire up a plug. BUT... There's gotta be a better way. Meaning not as ugly as a big wad of electrical tape around two crimp on connectors or solder joints.

Any ideas?

Heat shrink?

Use the butt splices that have the shrink wrap cover. Very clean and neat.

Butt splices and heat shrink are the way to go.

There is also a product called Liquid tape that you brush on over the connections and let dry which would seem to work well if the wires are going to remain stationary but when I used it on trailer wiring it would wear off and I would have to re-apply it.

Doesn't the plug that fits into the receptacle have the cable clamps inside the plug? Thats the way mine was- I then put that black plastic cover that looks like a snake over the cords- it is split down the middle- know what I mean? It looks very neat and tidy- it would also cover up whatever connection you make to the plug.
