Since I am on my second Warrior, Maybe I can try and help solve the problem,the fuse block that the radio is hooked too, is it a self installed or the one behind the dash for all instrumentation. If it is the dash that harness has a main power switch with a 15 amp rating, so I would wire to a fuse block mounted on a side wall its own fuse block and run six gauge from the starter battery up to it.
Second now that the radio is wired on its own circuit and not sharing, the 2 trolling motor batteries have a power wire from a jumper circuit that allows charging from the alternator while the big engine is used, therefore remove the terminals that is from the starter battery to each of the trolling motor batteries terminals it actually comes from the terminal block that connects front and rear sockets or remove the red and black wire that runs to that terminal block from the starter battery , what my thought is your actually hooked somehow to the starter battery with your trolling plug, either because your plugging into the wrong socket or leaving the jumper in when using the trolling motor, not sure which model warrior you have, the Vantage backtroller, can go on any model, but by removing the terminals that could possibly connect it to the starter battery and making sure your marinco plug is proper, plugging into the correct socket will isolate and seperate radio from trolling motor, are all batteries in the same area, its possible to have accidently hooked the wrong set for each of the batteries, since they are color coded and taped together, in the east metro if needed.
