Location: Oregon | I have spent the last couple days installing a new 24 volt bow mount trolling motor on my boat. Well, the only place I could find to put the two batteries in my 19' aluminum boat is in the transom, right below the fuel line leading to the tank! I got all the 8 guage wiring in place, installed a fancy MinnKota plug in the front and strapped in the two batteries. Got the two batteries hooked in series and just about had everything tight and done and skeeeeeeekkkkk, you guessed it, sparks flying! Scared me half to death! Somehow I touched a wrench to something! There is just something not right about having two batteries right below the gas line!
