    Installed batteri polarity the wrong way

    Have to check tomorrow if more wires are fried. I hope only the wire marked in red is the one that is fried. But I cant remember that this blue wire goes to the circuit breaker. It look like it goes straight to the wire harness to the front of the boat.
