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.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
