Battery Wiring?

[Jim Davis]

I hooked the batteries up after having them out for winter but I have something hooked up wrong. House battery is not charging. Does anyone have a picture of the battery wiring on a 2019 242xe?
Thanks

Jim,
I am having the same challenge. Please find attached some pages from the 242xe 2019 manual. I will put mine together today and send a photo of the successful assembly.

@Jim Davis, Before I removed my batteries for the winter to charge in my basement, I took pics as well as tied with twisty ties each terminal group so I can remember how they went when reinstalling them in the spring. See below. Pls note I have an extra wire to each battery and terminal from my onboard charger.

Thank you for the reply guys. What is the small black wire with red end that you have wired to the negative post?

Jim,
I have my boat up and working and a phot of my battery setup is attached. My boat is a 2019 242XE (purchased in Canada)

That should be to his ACR (or DVSR). It is required so that the box can hook the batteries together when charging... so that the house battery gets charged. Otherwise, only the start battery will charge.

I bet that is your issue.

I have it rewired but haven't tried it yet. Have just like you guys so should be fine. Thanks for all the help.
