how can we connect the battery to the electric boat motor? there is no alligator clip..

There should be leads off of the motor. If not you'll have to determine the negative and positive leads off of the motor and attach clips to them.

go to the hardware store and buy a black and red alligator clip and put them on the wires, the red is the positive wire

You should have cables with clips on your trolling motor that will connect to the battery.

There should be alligator clips on the e-motor. If there is no alligator clips on the motor then is the battery built in some how? Because there has to be some where for the e- to b transferred

I use the ones off of my Battery Tender because they are a few inches longer to make the stretch to a good ground.

If you know nothing about this, maybe you shouldn't own a boat! The short answer is NO, you wire it in with your boat battery.

not knowing what your workink with leaves one scratching there HEAD ! do you relize you can styart a fire under the hood or where everyour battery is located... use the ring or have a machic do the job THE RIGHT WAY. don't try and CUT corners it will cost lives note here ! Alligator CLIPS are for quick test only. remember that !!! and REMEMBER. a BATTERY is A BOMB... ! it will BLOW up if an ARK Cross's it it

Yep, you should be able to hook them up to two 12 volt batteries permanently as the wires are set that way. I didn't have room to mount the charger in the boat so I bought some battery clamps for the end of the wires that hook to the batteries and charge them that way. When the batteries are fully charged, I pull the clamps, unplug the charger, and store the charger away. I like this better as I can see when the batteries are fully charged and not have the charger continuing to trickle charge the battery. Although, they say that is ok. So far, this charge works great!!

I don't know that. I always go out on a full charge and added wiring to my boat battery so a cigarette lighter power adapter can be hooked up to the battery. then to go from cigarette lighter adapter to the ICOM unit with that style cable that came with it. I also added a 2nd battery to my boat to make electrical things dependable when I run my lil 18 footer out 10 mi or better from shore. The radio is nice but I really don't want to have to use it.

No, it requires power from the boat's battery. It is a very easy job to wire it in, and judging by the size of the wire, it draws very little power. It is also a long wire to run where you need it.

I added a second battery, it is simple and adds needed security when out on your boat if one battery goes low, also I used old car battery cables from the salvage yard, much cheaper, just get your lengths measured first....

You generally need to connect yourself to the system. I've found that an ESD strap with an alligator clip connector is perfect, especially for just experimenting.

No, the boat does not come with the battery. You have to buy that separately, but can find it at a variety of stores that carry marine batteries.

The boat I use has a 12 volt battery, the outboard motor has an alternator that keeps it charged.

I used standard crimp connectors to wire mine up to a 12v marine battery underneath my golf cart. I used the red ones because their the smallest. Because the wire is so small, I stripped enough so I could double the wire over. Then I daubed liquid electrical tape over it. Hope this helps.

I installed this in a boat but still had the same problem with the cable length. I replaced the supplied cable with a different cable and terminated the new cable to the boat battery. The boat battery has screw terminals so it made connection easy. However I just did almost the same thing in my old truck hooking up an amplifier that took #4 awg cable. I purchased a large fuse holder at Radio Shack (cost $13.99) and purchased some 40 Amp round AGC fuses at Auto Zone, and I purchased a battery connection tap (I have a side mount battery but they also make some for conventional batteries) at Auto Zone. For cable I just purchased a cheap #14 awg extension cord at Wal-mart (orange jacket with three #14 awg conductors inside). I connected all 3 conductors together to use as one positive cable and I connected all 3 conductors together to use as one negative cable. The combined ampacity of all 3 conductors tied together was more than the amp or an inverter would require.

I am charging a 12v battery. I do not use the alligator clips. I have terminal clips to the batter and an Anderson plug on the other end that plugs to the solar panel. You should be able to to the same with the cigarette light plug. Either cut and replace the alligator clips or make up a cable with an Anderson plug on one end and a cigarette plug on the other. Just be sure to use wire that is the same gauge or larger (12AWG or 10AWG)

They give you a connector kit to put to the battery of your lawn tractor or ATV. Honestly, it was a very crappy connector, so I went to a auto parts store and bought a better connector and spliced it in.

I bought a 12 volt battery for an atv/motorcycle. I bought two small alligator clips( red and black) and attached them to the ends of the wire. Then just clip red to + terminal and black to - terminal. I don't submerge mine in the water so I had to adapt an intake hose. You'll need to suck on the output hose until the water gets through the pump. You'll need a small 12 volt charger for your battery. Not expensive, think mine was about $17. Hooking it up to computer power supply is probably not the best idea.
