I have removed and inspected the battery charger. There are no internal fuses that I recognize and no places where the original wiring seems to have been altered. The only abnormality that I notice is some apparent heat damage to the wire that leads in from Aux battery #2. The black negative wire appears to have been overheated at the spot where it is connected to a one of three 1" x 1" x 1" components. They are black with a white top with a number (951221B) inscribed on the side. There is a second heavy black wire leading from this component to a black device that also appears to be heat damaged. This device has an enscription "Short Stop", and below that "12v A46 4OR". None of this means anything to me, and since the company is out of business, I assume I need a new charger.

I have rewired the batteries direct to the trolling motor using #8 wire and 60a fuses as much as I can. I am waiting for the 24v #8 connector for the TM before I can try this system out with direct wiring...
