Yep, the wire going into the case that has the raised strip on it is the positive one.

Thanks, feeling better it's wired right must have got the diode because of lack of a fuse and reversed wiring. will take care of that first thing in the morning. Will replace the diode with a 1n4004 and wait for the schottky diode set and hopefully nothing else was damaged. If it works the knot should leave my stomach and be replaced with some fried fish.--shu
I have a 55# with 30A auto reset circuit breaker on my Jon Boat. It has 10 ga wire. This should work for you. You can get 30A auto resets at the auto stores.
Went to NAPA this morning and asked for an auto reset ckt breaker and got a big HUH so got a manual reset and installed so when parts get here should be good to go long lining. got about 12 small specks this morning, don't know where the real fish got to. Thanks guys for the help--shu
Folks in Tn too dumb to use a manual reset I guess. haQuote:
