Portable charger setup with smaller anderson style plugs

[pfisher]

I am putting a portable charger on my aluminum boat with a 24 V trolling motor. I am going to set up the charger to be external and would like to leave a quick connect connection on the battery so that I can just plug in the leads. I was looking at Anderson style plugs but they look way too heavy-duty for my use since it looks to me like the wire on the charger itself is maybe 14 gauge. Are there any Anderson style plugs that are suited for smaller wire? Or in my way over thinking this and could use something much lighter duty?

Thanks

At one time I used some trolling motor bow plugs.. I think motor guide made them.. The female was a thru hull mount with a flap seal to keep water out. The ones I had were 3 prong so I just killed one wire.

You are going to need four connections. The simplest way is a plug on the charger and receptacle on the boat similar to how 12/24V bow trolling motors used to be wired.
