Review on Attwood 14365-6: Heavy-Duty Trolling Motor Connectors - 2-Wire 8-Gauge 12V Male Plug by Peter Tennant

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This is NOT a connector - do not use this Attwood connection system!

Contrary to the Revain packaging and description, this is a FEMALE connector. From the looks of it, Attwood just went insane marketing this product. This "engine-side" plug plugs into an Attwood 14366-6 "boat-side" receptacle that has prongs that protrude and open as soon as you lift the door (Attwood calls this equivalent receptacle "female" but it is grounded ). and a protruding hot pin - i.e. male pins). This design is insane and poses a VERY DANGEROUS electric shock and short circuit hazard. This is the opposite of how everyone else (reasonable people) makes these connections. This is obviously useless as a "plug" replacement in existing properly wired systems. However, I can keep this plug as an emergency repair option if one of my existing real outlets fails (yes, other manufacturers' equivalent MALE plugs fit directly into this Attwood "MALE" plug).

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions
