I dont understand if the trolling motor is grounded through this cable connecting the DF to TM ground and the DF is wired to start battery there is already a connection between the 2 . So how will connecting the two NEG. from TM to START Be any different. They are supposibly connected via cable from TM to DF to start battery. I am really confused on this. Besides if only neg. are connected how can there be a short? Without a pos. My understanding of a short is + and- touching.

I don't believe you are in any trouble. I just need to clarify the info provided by Catfan.

The V2 drawing is incomplete, so I cannot state the correct answer. It is BS I can assure you this.

Any two wires touching (making electrical contact) are considered shorted (a short). When + and _ touch, this is considered a power to ground short.

People crack me up. When a light bulb flickers, people say its got a "short" in it. People like shorts I guess. ha

When I find out what that brown fused wire is tied to, I will tell you what we can do.
