Installing 24V and 36V battery system for trolling motor

[@paullucas9174]

*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

[@briangow6282]

*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*

Two years later this motor is going strong kzbin.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

[@MrBradpaisley]

I run a minn kota 24 volt all terrain, I suggest deep cycle batteries with minimum 800 amps each tied in series as shown. Depends on lb thrust of the motor, mine is 65lbs and this works great. 80lb and up, go with minimum 900 amps each, and never use a crank/start battery for a trolling motor, Deep cycle/start is fine.

4 years later I'm back checking out this vid. Big Help

[@TheJertl]

Making use of the kzbin.infoUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

[@slabseeker4627]

Scott can still get a 12 volt line out of the 24 volt system for sonar and lights and acc. off of either battery thanks.

[@MrBradpaisley]

No you cannot run accessories off of one of the batteries that are tied together in 24v system as the accessories will be running off 12v. You will pop fuses or burn out anything requiring only 12v. The separate battery used for accessories and starting the main motor should be charged with the altenator. I suggest buying a 2 bank on board charger for the 24 volt trolling system, when you come off the water simply plug in to an A/C outlet. Always make sure ONLY the trolling motor sees 24 volts

[@Metal-Possum]

I already have a steady supply of 36v lithium ion packs, but I'm yet to find a 36 volt trolling motor, anywhere! I did refrain from using expletives, though I was thinking of them at this time.

[@1004w12]

I want to fix my boat so that my engine uses only the cranking battery and the trolling motor only pulls off the deep cycle battery. Is there a way to hook up a single 12v deep cycle battery to my trolling motor and also connect it to the outboard so that it will charge on the run back, but the outboard will not pull off it?

[@thetravisanthony]

a solar panel and a amp charge controller. on amazon you can get a great flaex panel for around 50 and the controller for 20. shipped right to your house.

[@tkolar00]

If I have an existing 24 volt system can I upgrade to a 36 volt without having to change my TM plug or the existing fuses?? Essentially all I want to do is add a battery in back without making any changes to the wiring through the boat nor to the female plug. Thanks. TK

[@kevinsutton9403]

I get a warning message when trying to access the PDF's. Has the location changed?

[@RFT2112]

I want to get an Ulterra 24V. Currently Running a 12V Powerdrive and two 12 Volt downriggers and other accessories. Question is Once I wire the batteries to 24V how do I wire my downriggers? One Downrigger per battery?

[@TheJoeb47130]

I have 2 deep cycle marine batteries for my trolling motor and a cranking battery as well. Should all of them be in line together? I am only getting about 4 hours out of my trolling motor. Could it possibly be a fuse? I recently had my boat serviced, and am not sure everything got hooked up correctly. I replaced the batteries, hoping it would solve the problem, but the new batteries still don't last more than 4 hours????

[@bradneyens1205]

I just bought a new boat with a 36v Vantage. I have a 24v Terrova with I link that I dont want to get rid of. Is there a way to run a 36v system and a 24v system? Is there some way to shut off my 36v when running my Terrova? Any help on this would be great

[@MrBradpaisley]

and always run a breaker between batteries and trolling motor, I run a 50amp minn kota breaker with reset

[@sstatic6093]

could you show the 24 battery setup with a 1-2 battery switch selector going to a Neg- bus bar and a Pos- busbar going to a fuse block? no one has how to wire a boat wit a setup like that

[@Trapper234]

I'm new at installing trolling motors and fish locators. I have a new boat that I am setting up. I bought a Minn Kota Terrova 80 lb 24 volt trolling motor. I now see how to set up 2 batteries for 24 volts for the trolling motor. My question is can I hook up my humminbird Helix 9 to one of the 2 batteries or do I need to get a forth battery including the starting battery? Thanks!

[@BoManton]

+Trapper234 yes. i just hooked a 24V trolling motor and am powering my other electronics off of one battery per device. as long as you tie into one battery, its still 12V

[@Trapper234]

+Bo Manton Thanks Much!

[@miffyleslie]

I have a 24v trolling motor and a 12v starting battery. My charger is a Dual Pro 3 bank 12/24/36v charger. How do I wire the charger to the three batteries without having to disconnect any of the battery wires or can it be done this way? I haven't seen anything like what I'm asking. Thanks in advance!

[@1BigCountry143]

Do you recommend optima gell Cell batteries for the trolling motor? If yes why do you like them over a AGM battery? What group size do you recommend 27 or 34?

[@1BigCountry143]

I'm asking because I'm going to buy new batteries this year for my boat.

[@jtettes]

Hello, I need a little advice. I'm thinking about buying a 24v trolling motor...If I run a three battery system...one starter and two for a trolling motor on a 24 volt system. Can you run all your accessories off of one of the batteries being used on the 24 volt system? Also...I'm running a Mercruiser 130hp. Will the alternator charge all three, and what batteries or battery should be getting the charge. Currently I'm running two batteries. Thanks.

[@DTruth850]

What jumper cable color do i need bause i see black and red cables separate?

[@bardstables8909]

I have a question. My boat is a bit older. The trolling motor is a 12V system. I want to upgrade my motor but the new ones are all 24V or larger. Other than the obvious (hooking up another battery) do I need to replace all the wiring as well if it's still in good shape?

[@sylviaroldan5829]

I have 3 wires coming out of my trolling motor red, black and white. I know what the red and black go to but what is the white one for?

[@harrygelder6988]

Sylvia Roldan

[@NuclearEngineerDOE]

Sylvia Roldan ground wire? not sure where it needs to go.

[@rebel78745]

That trolling motor is at least a 24 volt . may be a 12 /24 Check it out before hooking it up.

[@johnryberg8786]

Quick question if you do that to a 36v system would the first battery still be 12v? Like if you wanted to hook up your graph to just one battery?

[@JRegerWVOH]

If you add anything to the one battery and they are all hooked up in a series its going to be 36v to everything

Is the 24V/36V total amps the same as a with a single 12V battery? Or is it cumulative?

[@N.E.P.A_Outdoors]

On a 24 volt system how would I hook up a 2 bank on board charger without having to disconnect any jumper wires?

[@morris9319]

I have a 86 lbs electric motor (outboard) trolling but can i use a 12v battery box ???

[@BTZBanana]

For the 24 volt system how would you connect your fish finder and your on board charging bank ?

[@biodot88]

To your starting battery or house battery

[@ttxxdd]

Can I put a 36 volt battery to a 12 volt motor?

[@icws2553]

Do both batteries have to be deep cycle?

[@bdbdwd]

Excellent video

[@Kennnny77]

Great vid. Quick question....do you ever hug and kiss that 300 when nobody's lookin?

[@UBBERTANKER]

what about a onboard charger though

[@eelsauce605]

I was wanting to do the same thing. Did you figure it out?

[@deloresblom5514]

can I run a 24 volt vantage trolling motor and a 36 volt terrova off a bank of 3 batteries can this be accomplished

[@ninalovesbus]

yes

[@BoManton]

I am about to hook up at 24V trolling motor. My buddy who is a physics major says that you can still use the other batteries for 12V as long as you only hook into 1 battery per device. That being said, I am worried about it. I'm gonna hook up batteries for 24V, then put volt meter on a single battery. It should read 12V. Then I'll be okay with running other electronics off of it. Can anyone confirm or negate this? Thanks

[@miffyleslie]

I am wondering the same thing!!

[@BoManton]

I did it. It works. The only problem I am having is I'm getting some interference with my Side Imaging and Down Imaging on my graph because my sonar is hooked up to one of those batteries.

[@ronsheppard9895]

Me too

[@thankfullife7968]

Bo Manton oh man if your buddy the physics Major is with an engineer, I’m sure between the both of them they should be should be able to figure out how a screwdriver works haha.

[@MinnowXP]

Thanks for the tips, really helpful!

[@GunninWizard]

what batteries do I buy?

[@chrisccraig]

hey, dumb question. in a 2016 pro team 175 currently 12volt. i wanna make it 24 volt for upgraded troller . is it simply as easy as just combining the batteries like you did in the video ? is the OEM boart boat wiring and switches etc ok with the jump in voltage

[@RandomVideosInFlorida]

chrisccraig yes if its all wired up correctly you should be fine.

[@tshort215]

Any concern using bare hands on a live batteries?

[@500TT]

Holy old Fluke 8050A Batman.

[@MattBerk]

you need a "combiner." Just google Yandina or Trollbridge 36
