I'm installing a 24 volt trolling motor and was more or less doing it exactly as in the diagram at the thread linked below without the onboard chargers.
I thought the 24v system was completely isolated from the 12v engine system. At least that's how I was going to do it.
In this diagram it shows a connection to the negative, both systems. "to eliminate ground float"
Is this necessary or can the 24v system exist in the boat with no ground connection to the motor? I feel like this is a dumb question, but want to get this right.
