Bought a used boat and trailer several weeks ago and am in the process of cleaning it all up, painting, and looking at hooking up my accessories. The boat came with a Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor on the front fishing deck. The motor comes with a 'foot on/off switch'. The previous owner had the red & black 8/20 gauge main wires from the motor hooked up to battery #1. Then he had the smaller red & black wires from the foot switch hooked up to battery #2. Can someone please explain this setup to me? I can't figure out why and don't know if there is a better setup for this. Thank you.
