trolling motor help

[bow slayer]

bought a new bow mount for the boat,problem old receptacle is a 3 pin round,new plug on motor is a 4 pin round. Could I just cut off the plug on motor and wire in a 3 pin in it place.or should I replace the receptacle with a 4 pin ? thanks

Do you still have the old TM? Either way you look at it, you will be fine. I went from a Motorguide to a minnkota and switched both pieces to new ones. I just didn't want to have any weak spots in my new setup. I literally changed everything that was associated to the TM because I was upgrading from a 12v to a 24v

I puled my old MotorGUide w/ 4 pin round and replaced entire system with new, set up for MInnKota Terrova. Sold old motor with all wiring and batteries and charger, new everything for me. Terrova is simply a two wire as it is 24V only ( not 12, 24v) Pretty easy and straightforward swap- new marine cables in 6 gauge from now bow plug to batteries. You can buy an aftermarket plug most places, West Marine, BassPro and wire it up...

Oddly enough, that is exactly what I did!!! Same motor too!
