Help identifying this Minn Kota Riptide? And how to connect to batteries?

A friend upgraded and gave me his old Minn Kota Riptide and I'm trying to get it working, but I can't figure out how to connect the batteries. And I can't figure out exactly what model it is. Can anyone tell by these pics? (I know it's 24v).

It doesn't have any battery clips, I'm guessing I need to order a part. But without the model # I can't figure out what to order.

Aha, I opened up the case and found what looks like 2 battery terminals on the brain.

Does anyone happen to know which is positive? I'm guessing the one on the left with a positive line coming from near it?

And guessing I should use 10 gauge wire?
 
Well in the meantime the pedal from my motor is powering my dish washing station, ha.

I hope to have lots of need to upgrade it to a fish cleaning station shortly.

(The previous owner gave me a dead Minn Kota brain, so I was able to use the controller socket from it, so it's all easy quick connect/disconnect).
