This patent describes a trolling motor battery power and charging plug structure for reception in a keyed receptacle to connect with two pairs of pin sockets of the receptacle which are arranged in a selected pattern and connected respectively to the terminals of a pair of batteries. The structure comprises: (a) a nonconductive plug pin mounting body; (b) two pairs of elongated conductive plug pins positioned in the pin mounting body in a selected pattern, each pin having an outer end and an opposite inner end, the outer end being split to form a pair of opposing resilient outer ends; (c) key means on the pin mounting body; (d) a threaded plug pin bore formed in the inner ends of each of the pins to connect the conductor of a cable to the pin; (e) a conductive jumper link extending between a selected pair of the pins and cooperating with the plug pin bores thereof to electrically interconnect the selected pair of the pins; and (f) a nonconductive enclosure shell cooperating with the pin mounting body to enclose the cable connection bores and the jumper link and forming a handle for gripping to insert the plug structure into a receptacle.
