Minn kota MKR-28 trolling motor plug. (Complete install)

[@mattfox2867]

Do you know if that hole saw was the "Bi-Metal" or "Carbide"? I am about to install this plug on my boat and need to go get the hole saws. Also, have you had any problems with the plugs?

[@maskedmanfishing]

The one I have is Bi-metal. The plug is still like brand new and I use it several times a week in saltwater. I'm very happy with it. Thanks for watching.

[@axscdvfb]

Has it been water proof?

[@maskedmanfishing]

Yes. It has an O-ring inside the cap that seals it off. I've had zero issues with this thing! Thanks for watching.

[@ridinskullcandy]

Those mechanical connectors are called splices, and the little metal sleeve is a ferrule.

Thanks for the Video, pricey bit if kit. I looked for something equivalent, no luck so far. Just so you know, in the future, always disconnect the Negative side of a battery first and reconnect last. It sparks less, leaving less chance of an explosion of the gasses emmitted from a battery.

[@maskedmanfishing]

I actually have a battery switch on it but wanted to show for video purposes. I didn't know that though. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

[@communitychronicle7219]

almost $200 -- wow, great product but pricey.

[@maskedmanfishing]

It is pricey, but I had to have it. Lol

Been looking to switch out mine as well but i see two versions, MKR-26 & MKR-28. Would you happen to know the difference between the two?

[@maskedmanfishing]

I don't. I asked the same question and couldn't get an answer either.

[@poupy132]

Doing mine tomorrow. Thx for the video

[@maskedmanfishing]

You're welcome. Hope it helps!

[@theirishone1339]

Are you not supposed to put ferrules on the plug wires? I saw you put them on the trolling motor wires..

[@maskedmanfishing]

I did put them on both..... or at least I wanted to... lol.

[@Steve-Jody]

Say MKR 28 on video title but the plug says MKR 26 ……

[@flawsee8456]

It's essentially the same, the MKR-28 is the newer version and can take heavier gauge wire (up to 1 AWG) on the receptacle side

[@chadmorrison9839]

You should of use a ferrule crimper and crimp those prior to installing them in the sleeves

Great video! Amateur but intelligent.
