    How many wires go to your main starter battery?

    I'm curious how other skeeter owners have their battery wire connections setup? I have about 4-5 separate wire connections going to the terminals of my starter battery, but just the charger and trolling motor wires going to my other 2 trolling motor batteries.

    Is this how others are setup?

    The motor, Charger, and main power going to the circuitbreaker under the dash.

    Is the main circuit breaker cable something you added yourself? I want to reduce the number of cables I have to connect to my main battery, it would be nice if I could consolidate all the diferent cables down to a single one for all. It's kinda hard to believe this isn't done from the factory?

    Mine came from the factory this way.. My boat is a 2004 model. Earlier models may be different. The way I understand it, depending on what the extra wires are from, only certain things come from the factory. Alot of the electronics are rigged at the dealership. So if something special was added to you boat by the dealer, it may have been incorrectly rigged directly to the battery instead of going through the main switch block.
