Can you show a diagram of the wiring setup? You kinda lost me when you started showing the board and mounting etc. If I got this right you ran a black cable from neg to neg on batteries, then one red from switch to positive on each battery terminal, and positive from motor to third nut on switch? I have a basic fishing boat without all the accessories and fuse blocks. I just want to run 2 batteries.
Great video, thanks! One question: I'm having trouble finding the fittings that you run the cables through (the 1.5" terminal adapter and matching terminal nut, and the corresponding 2.5" conduit washer). Is there another term for these that I could run through the search engine? Thanks!
You can mount that switch from behind can make it more flush and you can hide all of those wires behind the bulkhead if you wish the switches can be mounted either in the front or behind
Do not use Wing nuts on a batteries they're not thick enough... the nuts are thicker and rated for the current FYI and you don't haveThe battery cables shrink wrapped at the ends...probably auto cables not marine grade
Ah yes the old ongoing conflict of dueling batteries. You did a good job.
@jamess3532 I appreciate your comment and thank you.

I was getting sea sick watching this video hahaha. Thanks fir the video mate
but how did you connect the batteries?
@@rwk1951 thank you.
@@rwk1951 Thanks
Yeah a HUGE miss not showing the battery wiring!!
I appreciate your video and I did subscribe. It’s “ dual batteries,” just for the record !
@@rwk1951 Good video, I am a new boat owner and dual batteries is the next step.
I wanted to see two batteries dueling... Rats. 😉
@@chris2097 😂 Your time is coming , some enterprising soul out there is working on this very idea !
You really only had to flag one of your positive cables. By flagging one you automatically know what the other one is.
@@rwk1951 Any time!😉
I like your cable ID method!!
very methodical Tool list and then you did not show conecting batterys😆
Thanks for letting me know. It was one of my earlier videos . Thank you for the comment.
Yeah the reason I watched was for that but never happened

DUAL not Duel
Thanks for bring it to my attention. Unfortunately, it slipped by and it's too late to correct it.
Thanks for watching and your comment.
Duel is properly spelled dual
