Automatic Jump Start Systems and Selector Switches
Automatic jump start systems and selector switches tie the negatives of the connected batteries together. Connecting these systems to
the "High Side" Battery or "Middle" Battery in a multi-battery system will cause significant damage to your trolling motor and electronics.
The only trolling motor battery that is safe to connect to one of these systems is the "Low Side" Battery.
CONNECTING THE BATTERIES

and follow instructions in your boat owner's manual.
