Just picked up a 2003 Skeeter ZX 22 CC, with a 36 volt trolling motor that looks to be wired wrong.
I'm figuring to get 36 volts you wire three 12 volt batteries in series (3 x 12= 36).
Bat 1 + red from trolling motor - to Bat 2 +
Bat 2 - to Bat 3 + and
Bat 3 - to trolling motor black
But the PO has something different that I can not even describe, stating the dealer corrected and this is the right configuration.
Additionally there is a 3 bank battery charger with Red and Black to Bats 1 & 3 (+ &-) . Bat 2 has both red and black to the neg terminal?
Needless to say I can only get 7 volts on a multi meter.
How does a 3 bank battery charger wire into a series of three 12 volt batteries? Does each battery get a + & - to respective terminals?
Does Skeeter do any strange wiring for trolling motors? should'nt I just have a heavy guage red and black from the bow to the battery bank, then shorter wires to bring batteries into series?
Thanks a bunch!
