Today I had an electrical fire on my 24 volt trolling motor plug and jack. I'm not sure what caused it but all of a sudden the plug and jack were on fire. I pulled the burning plug out of the jack and cut the plug off. At home I opened the front hatch and traced the wires and found a spot where the wire was chaffed and must have shorted out to ground. I rewired the jack and tomorrow will install a new plug. The 60 amp breaker tripped so hopefully my trolling motor will be ok. Boats can be a real pain to work on since there isn't much space to do things.
