 Grounding the batteries in my boat. I was going through my Motorguide owners manual and it states you must ground multiple boat batteries together (neg-neg) to prevent electrolysis. One battery is in front the boat and the other is in the back. I was wondering if y'all do this or just ground the trolling motor back to the battery?
Trolling motor is a 55lbs 12volt
