[QUOTE="JOHNSON44, post: 167996, member: 4194"] Continuing on, I plan to run the wires from one battery back to the transom to do all the motor hookups (ignition, tilt/trim, alternator). Just motor only stuff. Battery #2 will be for accessories, including the trolling motor connection. I plan to run pos and neg cables from #2 back to the console where I will hook up the lights, the livewell, and anything else that comes to mind. The battery box will include a two port maintenance charger to keep both batteries ready to go. I use this system on my pontoon boat. It is so nice to not worry about the batteries. I have installed the main cables I need either under the floor or left messengers to pull future cables. I have spent a goodly amount of time trying to envision useage patterns, "paint myself in the corner" type stuff, and future problems so things work together in the end. [/QUOTE]
