TritonGlenn, I finally opened the box this week. Everything looked good. You did a great job of packing.
So I installed the plug and receptical last night and removed the old trolling motor. What a stupid, stupid design from Ranger or whoever did it. There is no access to the front deck. There is a small square outline on the carpet in the front next to the light. I tried to take the light out but there was not enough room to get my hand down in there. So, this square hole I decided was for access to the underneathe but how in the heck does the square come out. Well after 3 of us staring at it, I pryed it up with the end of hammer with all my mite. The square was a cut out but screwed in by two corner screws with no head on them. WTF!!!! I am still baffled at how they put those screws in. One is still attached and I busted the other one but there was no other way. I can guarantee when I reinstall the square my engineering will be much better.
Anyway, I have a question. I only have 2 wires, black and red. The Minn Kota receptical said to put them in 1 & 2 for a 12/24V set up. Just checking that I have this right. I will have 2 batteries with a cross connector between the two. I don't need the 3rd wire if I do it this way, correct?
Also, I remember when I upgraded my Nitro from 12 to 24v, I upgraded the fuse from 30amp to 50amp. I noticed a small fuse box back by the cranking battery marked 30amp. I am assuming this is the fuse I need to upgrade. In the Nitro is was in a small red tube and I just popped one out and put the other one in. This one looks like the entire box, circuit,or whatever it is needs replaced. Does this make any sense? I suppose I can post a picture of it and it would make more sense but that will take me a few days. Is there anything else I am missing?
I attached a link to what I think I need to replace the circuit breaker. Thoughts?
Thanks as always!
