Howdy. I officially joined the family of Minnkota Maxxum owners last Friday (24v/74#) and I'm now trying to get that beast wired properly on my '00 Crestliner Phantom. I have a quick question that will hopefully save me a ton of frustration - hope you guys can help:
I have a pre-wired plug in the bow of my boat with wires that run to the stern. There are 4 of them: red, black, orange, and black with blue stripe. Being the plug is a 12/24v and I have 4 wires at the stern, I'm assuming I need to run them direct to each battery rather than only using 2 and running the batteries in series. Is this correct? If so, which color wires are matched with which? I blew 2 inline fuses trying different combos last night and cannot find anything in my Crestliner manual. HELP.
They popped off last night a little but for about a minute it really blew up. Swirling around. Short lived but much brighter and more movement than anything on Friday night.
My whole life in MN and I’ve only seen that much color in AK before.
I was hoping they would get to dancing some, but they kinda faded here and didn’t get any stronger the other times I looked outside overnight.
I look forward to seeing if your DSLR did better.
I got nice pics from my buddies in southwest Mizzura.
Almost 20 years in MN and FINALLY.
I'm camping up by Winnie. Got this with my phone and then broke out my DSLR. No way to get the pics off it at the moment.
