I have a Johnson 9.9 outboard that I would like to remove every time I trailer it, when I leave it at the dock and when I store it in the winter. The wires for the battery just go through a small hole in the transom. The battery connectors are too large to slide back out that hole. I would like to put a plugin for those wires and I am looking for a couple of suggestions for which type of plug to choose. Any help would be appreciated.

I use
on my H 260 a 50 amp shore power connection. I mounted the the boat side permantaly near the o/b bracket and the female side on the cable that goes to the o/b starter. It will only fit one way so it is poliarity protected. The o/b is a 9.8hp electric start and has charging capablities that work with this set-up. Hope this helps. John USNret

Similar solution
I used male and female trolling motor plugs. You can even get them at Wal-mart. I don't think the power requirements of the small starter motor or alternator require the more expensive alternative. I dealt with the problem of the remote contols by installing trailer plugs for that connection.

30 Amp Shore power connection
My boat motor came with a 30 amp shore power inlet connection on the boat and the mating connection on the motor cable. Mine is also an electric start with an alternator. It has been on the boat since new in 1994. Very robust connector and haven't had any problems with it other than the gasket where the shore power inlet on the boat has dried up and needs to be resealed. Works like a champ.
