Challenger 180 battery connection

[JThomasLambert]

Hi Folks--this is my first year "unwinterizing" my boat. I had the company I bought it from winterize it for me and they seemed to think it would be easy enough for me to put it back in the water myself (heh...). Anyways, can somebody take a peek at their battery and let me know what the black leads look like? I have two cords unattached and I think that's where they go (do they just sit on top of one another?).

Unfortunately there's also no nut and no rubber cover over the black connector (there is over the red) so can you also let me know if yours has a rubber protector (I'm assuming they removed it and forgot it).

Thanks very much!!

The 2 Back leads are the grounds. to be sure follow them to where they go. The battery might not have a cover over the ground, just the red positive.

Thanks very much--is it possible that one feeds the engine itself and the other the bilge pump?

That's a possibility...follow the wires so you know for sure.
