Thank you for the information. On the hunt for a new charger!
No not marked. I tried to hook it up the way it was originally. but no idea if it was messed with or not.
yes, charger has "battery posts" on it. Replied to PM.
H-D Dad, I hooked port live well pump directly to battery and it works great. I found that I have power for a second and then don't have power at the pump. Long story short there is wiring issue...
Looks like I may go that route also. Thanks
Well when I got the boat the leads were hooked up to both batteries. But, there was a 12/24 volt trolling motor. maybe the switch that is now disconnected switched the charge from one battery to the...
Lou r Pitcher, you are most likely right. I guess my statement was very "loaded" as I came from modified v flatbottom with 12 volt system, that I would hook a automotive charger up to after each...
On the battery side both leads go to there own negative post. On the charger side they are on the same post. Maybe I will try putting the ground on separate posts on charger side and have the 2...
Yup, that is how I have it hooked up like fishysam stated. Charger was not plugged in when it sparked. I can hook one battery up with charger leads with no problems, and as soon as I touch the other...
I am surprised it took that long for someone to say a "New Charger" is needed ha! You are probably right, but it charges the batteries the same as any new charger when the trolling motor leads are...
Thanks for all the responses. I have everything wired the same as in the diagrams for 24 volt on the battery end. And when trolling wires are not hooked up, the batteries charge. I am thinking its on...
definitely have charger unplugged. I drew up a color drawing of how its wired but cannot get the picture to attach for some reason
I drew up how I have it wired. I do not have a picture with me of the charger. My picture will not attach or some reason
I can try to get a picture of it tonight or tomorrow. the is no lettering on it as it is wore off. I am assuming it is what came original with a 1993 skeeter.
I AM WONDER IF THIS IS DUE TO THE 2 GOUND WIRES BEING ON THE SAME POST ON THE CHARGER END? I KEPT POSITIVE LEADS ON THERE OWN INDIVIDUAL POST AND THE TWO NEGATIVE LEADS ON THE SAME POST.
I CAN HOOK CHARGER LEADS TO ONE BATTERY NO ISSUES. AS SOON AS I TRY TO HOOK UP SECOND LEAD TO SECOND BATTERY SPARKS EVERYWHERE.
I CAN HOOK UP ONE LEAD (POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE) TO ONE BATTERY BUT AS SOON AS I TRY TO HOOK UP THE LEADS TO THE SECOND BATTERY IT SPARKS. IF I TAKE JUMPER WIRE OFF NO SPARKS. I DO NOT WANA TAKE JUMPER...
I HAVE A 24 VOLT MINN KOTA FORTEX. I HAVE THE NEGATIE (-) LEAD GOING TO NEGATIVE POST ON BATTERY ONE. I HAVE THE POSITIVE (+) LEAD GOING TO POSITIVE POST ON BATTERY TWO. I THEN HAVE A JUMPER GOING...

It is a brand new pump. I called a skeeter dealer, and they think that the "rear aerator" button operates both pumps. So both live wells will fill at the same time. I plan to try and trace wires and...
I was out today and tried figuring out my situation. I took pictures of all my panels, but cannot get them to load up. Long story short I tried all buttons independently and still can only get the...

I will get some pictures of my panels / switches on Sunday when I am out on the water.
The buttons are not marked front and rear, there is just an aerator button on the front of the boat where trolling motor plugs in and the live well timer is located. There is also another aerator...
