Flo Jet Macerator powered by auxillary jump box

https://www.etrailer.com/p-WC2454.html


I have recently purchased a flo jet portable waste pump and purchased a portable jump box to power it. On the web i can not find suitable 12vt male plug and e trailer says that I can connect it dirtectly to the jump box(how?) and not use the jump function(alligator clips/switch controlled). Online I found several posts saying to just use the jump function.
which should i trust?
  • Forget it, I cancelled the portable box and will just use the minn kota charging station. Heavy AGM 85AH, fused 15amp accessory ports, and 60 amp posts to connect the Poop Cannon.

    Check out the reviews for the Wagan Power Dome Amazon, It is a Piece of Junk.

    Ifigured on getting a box like that for booning and canoe camping (utlimate booning).


    Did I fix that correctly?

    Of course, I can't see what you have but most jump boxes have a standard cigar lighter receptacle. Your pump should be drawing a lot less than 40 amps. Do you have a link to the jump box?
  • The pump has a 20amp fuseon the trigger.
    The box has a 40amp fused 12VDC, 15 amp hour battery, useless radio, 260psi air pump, 400amp jumpers, and two inverter outlets.

    Seemed like a good booning item at 20lbs vs 100lb minn kota box.

    I see the male with alligator clips on amazon. Just never see anything higher than 15amp inline fuses for that connection.

    The jump box will not injure the pump, it will only deliver what is drawn by the motor of the pump. You can either strip wires on the pump and connect to the alligator clips of the jump box or devise a more elegant connection.

    When I had mine hooked up I used a standard MALE/FEMALE 2-prong plug from local autoparts store. I just tapped into 12VDC somewhere near the batteries.

    It was just hanging there next to the black water drain connection...



    If you wanted to get fancy mount something like this near the drains by drilling a hole through the side of your trailer. Maybe just inside one of the close by storage doors if you didn't want to drill thru the trailer side.
