 NH Doral, help!

Hate to admit it but old age is creep'n up on me. Can't remember how the batteries on my 2005 Monticello are arranged. They both are in line on the port side next to the water tank. Boat has just about everything including windlass, heat and A/C. One battery is cranking, the other deep cell accessory. SOP - red to positive, black to negative. As the wires are labeled "engine" and "accessory" it's pretty much a no-brainer except for a black loomed set of wires (guessing 16 -18 gauge) running to the battery charger. It has to be attached to the rear most battery. Does this go to the starting or accessory battery? Since it's black loomed (I've never seen a red loom)  it goes to the - terminal. and was hooked up last year but I forgot to which battery It's the only wire that is not labeled. I'll have to make a schematic for next year.
