Trolling motor battery question

[SkunkedAgain]

Sorry I don’t have any experience there, and I’m actually a mechanical engineer not electrical so I’m not very good at the equations when you do the parallel and series circuits. But my gut feel is what you were doing should have worked. Are you sure all your wiring was correct and you don’t have things working against your self? All of our old tractors used the same idea you described and they used to have plenty of battery power. Not sure I’d give up on your idea just yet, but find someone smarter than me that can check your wiring and make sure it’s correct. Good luck. Jeff
