You may be right G but for piece of mind I would take them out of series and then jump, to much money to waste by hooking things up wrong but hey, its his boat if he wants to do it without doing that then thats on him, I would not.

A 12 volt light would burn on one battery yes.....but probably had to get the 24 volt lights due to the wireing and charging sytem on the tractor. Thats a whole different thing than jumping something off from one....i would have to see the tractor wireing diagram etc to really answer any question about your lights.

Take a meter and check....you will see you do not have to disconnect anything. Maybe cray will chime in here in a minute. I keep jumper cables in my boat have done it many times. By the way...I am a ASE certified master tech.

Yes he is.

G is correct !!!!! and if you think about a minute if you got a 2 bank charger in your boat and charging the batteries on the 24 volt trolling motor batteries you don't disconnect the batteries you put 1 bank on Bat A and the 2 bank to Bat B with them wired in series !!!!
