You only need two terminals for 36 volts so it doesn't matter if you have a two, three, or four terminal plug. Do the series jumpering at the batteries and run the two wires up front to the existing receptacle. Then make sure the plug wiring on the motor matches that on the receptacle.

Hey Silvertip, thanks for the response, boat already has 36 V system, just needed to add plug to foot control, old plug broke when I removed wires.

Why not buy a set (two wire male & female). Good to go for the life of the boat.

Go with the Marinco 12/24 plug/receptacle and wire straight through as ST suggested. They are heavy duty parts that will last a long time.

I want to thank you two for the response, sorry to take so long, been out of touch. As you can tell not much of a wiring guy. Think I am good to go now.
​I do love this site lots of knowledge here.
