Re: Bass boat wiring diagram [links]
I see a lot if people viewing. Anyone is free to chime in. I need some help
We have no idea what size 1974 Evinrude you have on this boat so whether the alternator has enough output to charge two batteries is another question. Hooking up the trolling motor can involve a two wire, three wire, or four wire system that can handle 12 volt, 24 volt or combo 12/24 motors. What wiring scheme does the boat have for a trolling motor. Again, since we have no idea what you have we can't help. Are you getting the idea that details are important here when asking for help.

Rewiring boats is a constant topic on this forum. All you need to do is look through the entries. There have been several just this past week. I just mentioned "dual battery switch" and "ACR" (automatic charge relay). Google them to see what they are. Both of those have also been discussed to death on this forum. The forum SEARCH feature is your friend here.
Re: Bass boat wiring diagram [links]
Champion Boats was founded by John Storie in 1975. It was located in Mt. Home Arkansas. He began making tri-hull boats in a small shop just outside of Mt Home on Hwy 5 North. Around 1976 he wanted a bigger/faster/better boat in a v-hull style so he sent my grandfather (a salesman) to a Skeeter dealer in Texas and had him buy a plain old gel coat Skeeter Wrangler. They brought it back, ripped it apart, splashed it adding some of this and that and Storie had himself a V-hull. Apparently it was changed so much that while it was related to Skeeter you could hardly tell in terms of performance and ride. They widened it, made the pad a V style rather than concave, pointed the rounded nose, moved the console from the middle to farther back in the boat, wedged the hull, added/subtracted some turn chines and lifting streaks and added the Champion arrow on the side. Storie wanted a rig that was fast, smooth ride and a DRY ride hense the Champion arrow and flaring of the upper hull (this kept you from getting sprayed) This was the beginning of the 86 inch beam Super V's most notably the 16'8. The 16'8 took off like wildfire and that rig sold very well for years. I was told that they wedged the rear of the hull to save weight but soon realized what it did in terms of performance and kept it. Think the 16'8 as the flagship for Champion. The 16'8's were 150 rated and just ran like hell fire. I was told this was around the time when Mercury went from inline 150s to V6 150's. This was back when 65-70 mph was just screaming. My father had a early 1976 16'8 (4th out of the mold) that was orange, Gramps had one that was banana yellow and black, Storie's was black and I think Bill Pace had a blue metal flake one. It was a real sight for a little fella to see all those boats banked at the Champion BBQs at Cranfield.
I'm not sure what year but belive aound 82 Storie sold Champion to Bill Pace and Matt Grabinski. This didnt last long and Champion went Bankrupt for the first time . Storie got Champion back and went on punching out 86 inch beam Champions until he sold Champ to Porthouse.
Ok per a mods request I will try and recall what history I can remember from Champion. Some is first hand knowledge and others is hear say. I was very lucky and literally grew up with Champion. My father, grandfather (mothers father), 3 uncles, aunt and mother worked for Champion at one time or another until around 1985 (when my father was fired and we moved).
