Ground the two negative posts together. All grounds connect to the battery ground. Positive of one battery goes straight to post marked 1 on the switch. positive of other battery goes to post marked 2 on switch. Engine positive and all accessory positives should go to the "Common" post or bottom post of battery swith. Screw down your switch and happy boating!

    Same original question, but regarding the answer, is the "common" post also called the "feeder". My switch has the posts labeled Bat1, Bat2, Feeder, and then two smaller terminal posts labeled "field" which I believe is for an Alternator. I only have two batteries I am looking to use for one trolling motor.

To add. Wire for stereo memory and automatic bilge pump should be wired either directly to positive post on one of the batteries or one of posts on the switch 1 or 2

Replacement rectifier for 1972 Johnson 100 outboard

If I remember correctly, it does not matter as they are just one way switches. That is why the new one is not color coded.

I need a detailed instructions on how to connect a toogle switch to a fuceable link to a battery and to a halogin headlight bulb?

Ok there are 2 ways todo this ,, the first is the easiest but not the cleanest..

First ..
1.) connect 8 guage wire from postive battery terminal to (2 port fuse holder)..
2.) from each of the fuse in the holder connect to the positive lead of each bulb (which should be in the bulb holder and in the headlamps or fogs or whatever).
3.) connect negative to a bolt on cars body.. Lamps will come on..
4.) remove positive from battery terminal..
5.) connect to your spst switch (what ever kind of switch u are using.)
6.) mount switch inside car,
7.) connect wire from other lead of switch to battery terminal..(pos)
Switch the lamps on and off using the switch..

Second method..

you will need
2 4-pin relays
8 guage wire
tester

1.) remove connectors from both head lamps
2.) turn on head lamps and test to see which is positive on each
3.) bridge this wire to the Com on the relay .. (1 head lamp to 1 relay)
connect positve wire from battery termial to relay (each relay seperate wire)
connect negative wire from cars body to relay (each relay seperate wire)
4.) connect Out from relay to Positive on Halogen bulb
6.) connect negative from bulb to cars body

now the lamps will come on and off with the head lamp switch..

Alternatively you can connect the fuse holder to the battery, and connect a switch to that and then that to the positive in on the relay..

Sorry I dont have any diagrams didnt have the time to draw one,, answered this quickly this morning before work..

Converting From 12/24 to Starght 24 Volt

if it is 24v. then you need to connect 2 battery in parallel. since the battery is only 12v.
if one battery is shoing red and the other is sohwing green, that means you are using 12v only, not the 24v.
connetion as follow:
positve of battery 1 to the motor, the negative of battery 1 to postive of battery 2. the negative of battery 2 to the motor.
