The boat I just bought had a vantage on the back that I got rid of. Now do I just leave the old trolling motor receptacle or is there something I can put in there instead? It is this type of receptacle...

Are you going to put a new trolling motor on the back of the boat?

Nope. Sold it to a buddy and was going to give him the receptacle if there is something that will cover the hole.

I do not know of any kind of hole covering for a receptacle but he can buy a receptacle pretty cheap. I'd suggest just have him do that. I'm guessing from the ones I've bought in the past, $5-10 should cover it.

You can buy a cover that is user for the plug-in for an on board charger. It is rubber and plastic with a piece that fits over the receptacle. Any marine shop should have them.

It would be easier if he just bought another receptacle and that way you won't have wires that will have electric current going to them. The cost to buy a cover won't be much different than buying a new receptacle.
