Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | No! Hook it direct as long as it has an inline fuse to protect the wires.... Usually the fuse is in the positive lead (+) . LOL- when folks talk about ground in boats.... It's like ground in a automobile- not really there-just an old urban legend term. Many old cars had a positive ground!
It's not really good to connect it to just any old place, i.e., at other devices other than the battery itself.
Just don't forget to turn it off or disconnect it when you're done fishing. If not you'll find out why, i.e., you will have A VERY dead battery!
Have fun!
