Question
Sutty
I bought a 1850 fishawk without a trolling motor. I bought a 24 volt Minkota and need to install it. The boat does have the plug recepticle with cables going to the battery compartment, they are marked as 12/24v so I think I am ok there. I need to figure out how to connect the batteries together to make them 24 volt and I need to install some battery holders. The compartment is next to the console and you need to open a second door that is basically going down to the hull. Not sure I really like the design since water will be going past the batteries when it rains etc. Anyone else have an 1850 and did you change where you put the batteries?
Oh and can I still connect my bow mount depth finder to the trolling motor batteries somehow or should I run that back to the starting battery?
