I tried cleaning up some wiring yesterday and moved some stuff around. I only have one battery on my J14 and have never had it drain yet. Is stays on a battery tender plus when notin use. My Q is, since I removed a bunch of wires from running up to the console and being a tangled up mess and hooked them to the battery cables inside the engine, is anything likely to burn up? I figured its still pulling from the battery off the main power and ground cables. I have the auto bilge, lights, and trolling motor wires running up with the control cables and battery cables into the engine and connected to the battery cables. Only thing I thought about was the starter sellinoid getting hot but the current does not have to run through it. It's connected to the cable and sellinoid on the front side before power goes through. It made for a much cleaner looking wire chase and console.
