Dredgetrash Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 How close size wise is the BT plug to the Marinco? My boat already has the hole for the marinco plug. Will the BT plug fit that hole or is it to small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubble Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Look at my pic above. You can see a round hole in the anchor locker where i removed the Marinco receiver. I added a starboard piece below that and cutout a hole for the tender receiver and installed it. You can see the difference. Not very close in size. Could cut around old hole and make it work but in my case, with the step below the old hole the Tender system wouldnt work there. Talked to Mike at Master Repair yesterday and he asked what type of connector I had. Told him BT and said smart move. Says in all his years of dealing with TMs he has seen many Marincos damage the TMs due to bad connection. He says the Battery Tender is The Best connection on the market. Never seen one fail and is trying to get Minn Kota to make a similar design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
