How do you wire a boat for a trolling motor?

Answer by  eyeguy (3760)

In order to install your trolling motor start by drilling into the toprail of the bow. Next take out the liner to the bait well or floor well. Pull the wirew to the battery compartment and connect to a seperate battery if possible. As you run your wires keep them high and dry against the bulkhead.
