    Batter Switch Off, Still Power to Instrument Panel

    Pull the cable (positive) to the switch off the battery. If the problem goes away you have an issue with the switch. If the problem persists, you have a "hot wired" circuit somewhere, typically the house battery

    24v trolling motor electrolysis

    Three things that cause it… stray current, dissimilar metals in contact with each other and improper grounding. Trolling motors not specifically designed for saltwater use don’t last long if used in salt
