Question
yes my 94 see nymph backtroller select has several battery hook ups and i have room for 2 batteries, and i have 3 sets of wires(3 positive, 3 negative) boat is equipt with a switch for battery 1 and 2. could you please tell me how to hook up the batteries. please and thank you

Answer
Hi Norm,

sounds like you need to place the batteries in their positions, positive wire to negative terminal and vice versa for both batteries. If there is a switch option between the two batteries then they run independently.

I don't know why there is 3 sets of wires available.
