It’s a MUST HAVE!!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This pigtail extension makes it so much easier to plug and play. I usually need to take off my accessories on my kayak when transporting. And this pigtail stays on my throttle and doesn’t come off. Easy and quick plug and go!

NK180 Speed Controller Pigtail Extension
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Ordered it, got a confirmation email basically immediately and was postively suprised by how quick I got the item. Literally a 100% satisfied experience. The extension itself obviously works and makes a lot of sense if you want to be able to take the motor in my case nk180 off and transport it in your car rather than on your kayak the whole time

Great addition to the Controller!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
If you are needing to remove your Speed Controller for storage, the 6" Pigtail Extension is a necessity especially if you have the Speed Controller on the YakAttack Throttle mount. It makes it easier to connect & disconnect from the throttle mount. In my opinion, the 6" Pigtail Extension should have been included with the NK180 Motor Kit instead of having to buy it separately.

Must Have
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The NK180 speed controller pigtail is a must have for anyone having to mount the controller to a plate. Otherwise you have to remove the controller each time to plug or unplug the motor. Should be a standard in every NK180 motor kit

Pigtail quick disconnect
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I didn’t want to leave the controller exposed to winter or hot season so it was nice to disconnect from the motor. Quality build it’s worth the price just keep dust or water away from getting to the connector pins should last a lifetime
