Re: motorguide trolling
You can cut the connections and put a new end on if you want to. As long as the wires wind up at the correct terminals on the battery, it doesn't matter what ends are on it.<br /><br />I wouldn't recommend using your outboard starting battery as your trolling motor battery for several reasons. <br /><br />Your starting battery may not be a deep cycle battery and thus is not designed for trolling motor type devices. Trolling motors like deep cycle batteries because they are designed to deliver a constant flow of juice until they are discharged. Your cranking battery is desinged to give lots of power for a short period of time and is not made to be discharged and recharged regularly.<br /><br />Plus, even if your cranking battery is a deep cycle, you wouldn't want to run it down with your trolling motor to the point that it won't turn over your outboard. Then you'll be stuck with no juice in the middle of the lake.
