Minnkota Mkr-12 Quick Connector Plug Review

Minnkota Mkr-12 Quick Connector Plug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought these quick connectors to go along with the MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center. When the quick connect arrived I discovered that the negative connection eye was the correct size but the positive connection eye was actually SMALLER! So small in fact that even if my goal was to attach it directly to the battery it would have been the wrong size. Needless to say, my choices were return it or drive to the local auto parts store and purchase the correct eyes. Decided it was easier and faster just to replace the eyes. Purchased water proof (shrink tube, not cheap but the right way to do it) eyes which IMO is what MinnKota should have used in the first place at this price. Bottom line, after correcting the problem they work as designed but can't recommend them. This should have been an easy no hassle purchase. You could probably make your own set by rummaging through a junk yard for a few minutes.

Sevylor Rechargeable 12 Volt Battery Review

Sevylor Rechargeable 12 Volt Battery
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used several of these batteries for many years in the intended line of work. Powering Sevylor low thrust trolling motors, ie 5/10lb and 12lb thrust. This is a 7Ah battery that weights 6lbs. Most of the time (depending on the thrust setting) I can run for 1.5 - 3.5hrs per charge. With a spare battery in the boat it keeps me always safe and within a reach of the lake shore.
I do have a Minn Kota 30lb motor, and the user manual recommends a 105Ah battery that weights 70lbs. My guess is that a 40lb version needs a 140Ah battery that weights 100lbs. Please do not replace a 140Ah/100lbs battery with a 7Ah/6lbs one and expect it to last more then 10-15 minutes!!!

Product Description:
Keep your Sevylor SBM motor running smoothly with this rechargeable 12-volt battery. Equipped with both the battery itself and a plug-in charger, the battery provides roughly 45 minutes of continuous run time at full speed. (The battery offers additional run time at slower speeds and with intermittent use.) The battery offers a 7 amp-hour capacity and charges fully overnight.
About Sevylor
In 1948 in Vitry, a small suburb of Paris, France, Berco Grimbert created an electronics company called Societe Electronique de Vitry, or SEVY for short. Soon, a friend of Grimbert's from New York commissioned SEVY to produce high frequency welding machines capable of fusing a new material called PVC (poly vinyl chloride). SEVY's machines worked very well and the American friend developed a very successful business manufacturing swimming pool related products. He then taught SEVY how to work with PVC.
One of the first PVC products SEVY produced was inflatable bathtub called Dou Dou. It was an instant hit in postwar France--mothers could bathe their children even where no facilities were available. The media hailed Dou Dou as a significant invention. Soon, SEVY added small pools and flotation devices such as rings, beach balls, and inflatable swim jackets to its product line. Safe, hygienic products, made of PVC and designed for portability, durability and convenience, became the SEVY trademark.
The company quickly outgrew its small facilities in Vitry. Mr. Grimbert accepted an attractive offer from the French government to take over a defunct textile factor in the tiny Alsatian village of Buhl. After establishing its new headquarters, the company added the letters "lor" to its name, and became Sevylor. In French, l'or means gold. By coincidence, or possibly fate, Sevylor has proven to be "as good as gold" to its owners, retailers, consumers, and employees.

MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center Review

MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm very pleased with this box. It's not weak or flimsy and has molded in lift handles on each end. Its inside dimensions are 13"L X 7"W X 9"H. The vented cover has access for cables on either end and has a pretty sturdy handle attached that will tip down and lay flat and includes a steel backing plate inside for reinforcement and strength. Inside the cover is a plastic plate covering the internal wiring but can be easily accessed by removing two small screws in the cover. Underneath is the trolling motor terminal wiring, the circuit breakers, and the 12 AWG wiring for the accessory terminals. On top of the cover the battery charge indicator light illuminates when you press the test button. Instructions are also printed on the cover. The 10 AMP circuit breaker is wired to both cigarette lighter style accessory terminals, one on each end, and the 60 AMP circuit breaker is wired for the trolling motor accessory terminals. Also includes a nice sturdy belt to hold the cover on with and easy to use connector, not a buckle, and a pair of plastic hold down brackets if you need them. This box is very well thought out and built for its intended purpose. I can't think of anything else I'd want from it.
