Hey C-Brats!,
I just got my first boat, a 2007 16' Cruiser!

And I've wasted no time in doing my first and certainly not last newbie mistake. I should have taken a picture of the battery connections before I unhooked everything. (Unhooked to facilitate some deep cleaning)

Can I please get some guidance on what s/b connected to which battery terminal?

Thanks!
Pete
 
Black wire goes to "-". Red wire goes to "+".
 
Sorry my question was too vague ....
I'm concerned about other wires ..... i.e. bilge pump

Does it make sense that all other wires go to positive???
Or might there be a ground wire going to negative??

I think each battery node did have multiple connections.
Could that be correct??
 
Perhaps a picture with it disconnected will help?
 
I now remember the proper connections - whew!
Problem resolved !!
 
No matter who, when you get a new boat, you should take photos of the wiring. You may improve, or change it. But you can always refer to that photo.
