    Everything else is on the starting battery for big motor.
    I believe that will be a problem in the long run. (at minimum, get a switch)

    Have to have 2 batteries for the trolling motor. It is run pretty much nonstop while I'm fishing. I can't fish without it, unless I just luck into some location that has a ton of fish, and a nice convenient limb to tie to! Thus, those batteries run down first. The electronics draw nothing hardly........so I put them on the cranking battery. There's only room for 3 batteries. Anyway, that was my thought when rigging it up.

    It's a 2007 boat. This has never once been a problem till last week.
