Jef Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 If so, did you use your trolling motor battery per the owners manual wiring diagram? AND if you did.....where the hell is the other end of the positive that should go to the battery selector switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief5130 Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 I am not sure what you are looking for, but there is a PDF diagram in this post that might help. https://www.mbgforum.com/topic/16061-wiring-diagram-knew-i-should-have-taken-pictures-before/#comment-123774 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Maybe include info such as what you are trying to do and what battery setup it currently has?? Im Guessing you have one battery and want to add another for more house power? If there isnt a battery cable already there then Id assume possibly the boat was not pre wired for a trolling motor.... if so they would not provide cable for 2nd battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Not sure why you want a second battery. For aTM, house or start. Me I always have two batteries for my start and house. My two TM batteries are stand alone fo tm only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Seither Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 So just for grins I looked at my set up 1 Two position battery cut off switch with 1 position for emergency starting only, B1 and B2 Terminations do exist 2 No emergency starting wire from any of trolling motor batteries installed to B2 terminal( I knew this already) 3 system is as close to Skips drawing as you can get with exception of emergency wire from trolling batteries not installed to B2 , relatively short run to install, my preference was to make a set of small jumpers to cover any battery jumping inside the console.(I’m running lead acid Interstate batteries) There should be more than enough room to install a battery tray, tie down and additional house/ starting battery. As mentioned more info need and some photos would help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jef Posted July 23 Author Report Share Posted July 23 Thanks for the reply ya'll. There are 2 leads (+ & - ) from the prewired "area' where the TM batteries would be located. Per the wiring diagram in the owners manual, the leads would be connected to a TM battery and then to the B2 post (+), and the negative to the ground bar. In this way you can use a TM battery as a backup. When I wrote the post, I could not find the end of those leads that are for the gnd. & B2. I ended up removing the battery, the tray and the piece the tray mounts to. I finally found them. I'm glad PF laid them in there, but they could have done a much better job.
