Rig Rite Electrical Parts & Accessories
Rig Rite Electrical Parts & Accessories
Rig Rite is a small-batch, American-made marine brand based in Miltona, Minnesota, and its electrical line reflects the way anglers actually rig their boats. The company got its start building trolling motor circuit breakers, and that circuit-protection background still shapes its electrical offerings. The brand has spent more than 25 years producing practical accessories for fishing boats, and its approach is straightforward: the wiring on a boat is the part you rarely see but depend on every trip.

Circuit Protection and Fuse Holders
Circuit protection is where Rig Rite built its reputation. Its marine circuit breakers are offered in manual-reset versions for 24V systems in several amperage ratings, along with 12/24 volt and 12-volt automatic-reset models. Manual reset breakers are a common choice on trolling motor circuits, since a tripped breaker signals a problem worth investigating before power is restored.
For smaller circuits, Rig Rite makes watertight in-line fuse holders in a range of wire gauges, from 16-gauge with a 10 amp fuse up to 8-gauge with a 50 amp fuse. According to the manufacturer, the holders use molded, heat-resistant, non-breakable plastic with a push-together design intended for watertight marine use, and they accept fuses from 1/4 inch to 1 1/4 inch. Versions that include a spare fuse are also available.
Connectors, Wire and Trolling Motor Plugs
Rig Rite's V-Groove trolling motor plugs and receptacles give anglers a quick-disconnect way to wire a bow-mount or transom-mount motor. Matched plug and receptacle pairs are offered in 2-wire and 4-wire configurations, with 10-gauge and 8-gauge options, so it is important to pair the correct plug with its receptacle. Assorted butt connectors, including a color-coded kit covering 22 through 10 gauge wire, and marine-grade 8-gauge wire in red and black round out the basic rigging needs.
Timers, Dimmers and Rigging Extras
Beyond protection and connection hardware, the brand makes livewell timers that automate pump cycles, light dimmer switches, rubber rigging grommets, and mounting boards and plates for installing electronics neatly. These small components help keep a console or transom installation clean and serviceable.
What to Consider When Choosing
- Match the amperage and voltage: Choose breakers and fuse holders rated for your system voltage and the load of the motor or accessory.
- Check wire gauge: Plugs, fuse holders and butt connectors are sized by gauge, so confirm compatibility with your existing wiring.
- Pair plugs and receptacles: Rig Rite V-Groove parts are specified to mate with particular counterparts.
- Think about resets: Manual and automatic reset breakers suit different use cases.
