Problem solved - thanks for assistance

[Ed Ramberger]

Hi - thanks is advance for any assistance. Here is the story in a nutshell.



Have a 1997 Nitro 205sf with a Tracker Pro Series 56# thrust 12/24 volt motor.



Reinstalled batteries this year and a smaller ground wire popped loose. Trying to determine which battery it goes on.



Also, why does the black box send a pos and neg wire to my cranking battery? This is a curiosity question. It didn't seem to make a difference when I left them unhooked.



If anyone has any wiring diagrams or pictures, or advice Id greatly appreciate it.



Thank you in advance

Not sure about the wires you mention but here's a basic 24V diagram if it helps.

Thanks, I understand that pic. This thing has a black box that goes to one of the batteries, then the bat cable runs from the black box all the way to the front plug.



The box also has a red and black going to my cranking battery, and two positives and a negative that go to the trolling batteries. Additionally it has a purple wire that runs up front somewhere that I haven't traced. Looking for info on this box ang hookup of the smaller gauge wires.



Would uploading a picture of it help?

Because it's a 12/24 tm and the 12/24 switch on the foot pedal won't carry the amps for the tm. It's a relay box.

It turned out to be an old charger that ran off the main battery to thr trolling batterys
