Looks like.... well I just do not know how to phrase it??
I for the life of me cannot figure out your wiring. two banks of two batterys cross connected and in parralel? Or do you switch sets when needed. You have a fire extingusher right and a pair of rubber coated side cutters too just in case? Capt Mike

I'm using 1 pos and 1 neg on the smaller batteries as a connector since the TM wires won't reach the big batteries.The pic is deceiving the batteries are not connected to the cranking battery.And the big batteries are not connected to the smaller TM batteries only the 1 term on each smaller battery is used as the connector.I can switch over to the smaller batteries in a heartbeat if need be.However I can get 3 trips out of the big batteries before they need any charge.It is wired as 24v properly.
I know it looks hideous and dangerous but everything is hooked up correct and although it does look bad,I know where evrything goes and I'd rather spend more time fishing than making things look pretty....LOLZ

Yep about 400 lbs of batteries.I fish mostly electric lakes.We only have like 4 lakes in jersey where you can run unlimited H.P. all the rest are 10 H.P. max or electric.

That makes sense.
Do yall remember someone saying they rigged up what amounted to an electric outboard by taking as golf cart motor and jerryrigging it to the foot of an old outboard? I reckon those batteries would be good for that.

Take an axe handle along with the stepladder, Tom-Zooker is a big boy-you can TRY to knock some sense into him but it won't do any good.
Those batteries look like a great deal since you fish a lot of electrics only.
