To get 36 volts, number batteries 1 thru 3. connect pos 2 to neg 1, connect pos 3 to neg 2, connect pos 1 to trolling motor controller and neg 3 to ground on trolling motor. This is only a solution for 3 battery system. For 4 battery system, connect 4 to 3 pos to pos and neg to neg. [email protected]
I am getting a charge between my aluminum boat and the trolling motor system. I get a white buildup on the motor shaft and the outdrive anodes. It may also be burning up other electronics as my GPS antenna and 2 radio's have recently died. Can I ground the batteries to the hull?
