I need some advise. I put on a 24V trolling motor and I wired it as follows:
- I have 2 batteries I have a cable tying the positive post from Battery one to a Negative post to battery two ( this is per the instructions and everyones advise). I then have 4 wires in my battery compartment from when I purchased the boat (it is suppose to be wired for a 24V motor). I have a black wire, a black & blue stripped wire, a red wire & an orange wire. I can get power running all combinations of wires; execept running the red on the pos. term from battery-1 and the blue/black wire on battery-2 (sparks fly everywhere when they are arranged together). When I do any other wire arrangement I get very little power. I hope this make sence.
