I got a new 360 for trolling motor. It has three wires and the instructions say red to 12 volt and black to ground. It also has another ground wire. What is it for?

I am not sure but I sure would appreciate some pics once you get on the water with it, been looking at em hard but think I want the transom mount.
i looked up the instructions and it dosent mention a 3rd wire for the power
I know that is the confusing part. It has two black wires and one red.
My transom mounted 360 has only two wires
I wonder if it's ground to TM skeg...for RFI...??
(Test OHMs across the 2 black wires maybe)...

I'd give the customer support folks a call on that one.
When you get it all mounted up can you post a photo of exactly how it mounts to the TM shaft?!
it said one is the drift wire and to tape it in the instructions
I missed this in the PDF...Quote:

I did talk to a humming bird rep. The lady indicated that you use the black and red wire only. It was not an extra ground or anything. The connector plug has three terminals I it too. I documented it all in case smoke comes out. If I find out differently will let you know. Knappy.
On the top of page 25 of the 360 Imaging Trolling Motor install guide it tells you to:
6. Tape the drain wire.
This is the second black wire (actually is a bare wire with heat shrink on it). I think that Rickie is correct in that it is for RFI if needed.
