Does look right to me , trolling battery connected to cranking battery ? Is that normal or something new ?

What boat? Is it just the on board charger hooking them together?

If you have a 24V trolling motor you can use a 2 battery system
connected w/a jumper wire. Start on 12V troll w/24V. Works for me.

Deep cycle and cranking wired together.Have no idea what voltage the trolling motor is . Just had it delivered from Fla. this weekend .I find it odd seeing it wired like that . Tracker 175 tX Pro(2001)
If the troller is 24V, (connecting in series) it sounds like someone avoided buying a second deep cycle battery. If 12V they may have been trying to increase troll time (in parallel). Both at the risk of not being able to start the OB. Are there jumper wires between the batteries or is it an on board charger connection?

Jumpers between the batteries, charger is connected to one battery . (cranking).I have always wired cranking battery just for that purpose, 2 trolling batter(s) connected to a 2 bank charger> Will have to change things around in the spring.
