i bought this boat and it had a jumper cable (maybe 12 gauge) from negative to the other negative. So obviously that wasn't right.

i have another hot wire (not sure if trolling motor wire or to the circuit board) that's going to the positive post of the "series" jumper.

so when i'm hooking up the series i get an immediate spark/ burn to the post.


thanks for taking the time.

Negative to negative maybe suggests the previous owner was running those batteries in parallel.
What do you mean when you say circuit board? Are you trying to run something other than the trolling motor off of this?
I would find out what the red wire is coming from, you shouldn’t be welding the terminal to the post by just connect the negative from one to the positive of the other with nothing else connected.
