I have a twin-engine single battery setup. I screwed up and didn't label the yellow wires properly. If someone has a similar setup for a 2018, 215 ID with the sinle battery. Could you please tell me if all the yellow wires on the negative post or are some on the Positive post too? If someone could snap a picture of their battery connections and reply to me I would be most grateful. Thanks.
 
I commented on your other post. But yellow=negative. All of them.

SO, I have a single battery on my 195 open and nothing works besides the engine. I noticed that whoever hooked the battery up has 2 yellow and a red going to positive terminal and 2 yellow and a black going to neg. So all the yellows should be going to NEG? and just the one red on POS?? thanks in advance
 
Correct. Unless someone messed with your wiring.... lol Unlikely.
 
Yup, I went home last night and Boom... That was the problem, thanks
 
Excellent. If you prefer, I installed a bus bar where all my negative wires are connected. Then a single negative wire to the battery. Makes this easy and avoids potential mistakes.
