View the latest post Attachment(s) Spark when hooking up Negative Terminal


Hello (Again)! lol

Boat was sitting all winter, and rainwater got into the engine area and filled up my bilges pretty high.

After replacing all three batteries with brand new ones, I was hooking the wires up the same way as I took them off.

The last battery, which had a predominantly black wire with a little orange line in it, started sparking.

It may have been one of the bilges kicking on, but the batteries were turned off. I tried leaving it on to see if I could hear water pumping out.

I hear a click near the battery switches, and am thinking it blew the fuse there. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Thank you in advance.
Brian
