Garmin Force® Trolling Motor 70A Power Receptacle

The Garmin 70A Power Receptacle provides a secure, removable power connection for Garmin Force and Force Kraken trolling motors.

Installed on the boat, the receptacle allows the trolling motor’s power cable to be connected and disconnected without disturbing the permanent battery wiring. It is particularly useful when the trolling motor is regularly removed for transport, storage or servicing.

Important Compatibility Information

This product is the boat-side power receptacle only. To create a complete detachable power connection, the corresponding Garmin trolling-motor power plug is also required.

The receptacle and plug should be ordered together when installing a new detachable connection.

Installation

The receptacle should be installed close to the trolling motor in a position that:

• Remains accessible for connecting and disconnecting the motor
• Is protected from standing water and physical damage
• Does not place strain on the motor power cable
• Allows the protective cover to close when the motor is disconnected

Use marine-grade, correctly sized cable and terminals suitable for the motor’s voltage, current draw and total cable run.

The trolling-motor circuit must include a correctly rated circuit breaker or overcurrent-protection device installed close to the battery supply. Follow the Garmin Force or Force Kraken installation instructions when selecting the breaker and cable size.

Installation should be completed by a suitably qualified marine electrical installer.

Technical Specifications

Why Install a Power Receptacle?

A detachable connection is especially useful when the trolling motor is installed with a quick-release plate. The motor can be disconnected electrically and physically without opening junction boxes or removing cable terminals.

This arrangement can simplify:

• Trolling-motor removal
• Winter storage
• Transport
• Servicing and repairs
• Emergency power isolation
• Moving the motor between compatible installations
