OK here's the deal.
I have a 24 volt tm and my other unit that I had before was 12 volt.
The 24 only has 2 wires black and red both are hot,my plug from the other tm has an orange(ground) red and black(both hot) since the tm is 24 volt what do I do with the ground(the orange one from plug) because if I just hook the red and black together the wires get pretty warm pretty quick if I stay on the tm.I need to figure this out pretty quick since I have a scheduled trip to Table Rock lake in two days :shock:
 
I would double check your wiring to the batteries, in a DC system black should always be negative (ground), it is possible someone wired it incorrectly in the past.
