Thread: 24 volt wiring help

If the wire size of the individual circuits is big enough, I don't see any reason you couldn't abandon one circuit and just run a 24v circuit, or just double the wires and run 24v. I think they doubled these circuits to accomodate the old 12/24v trolling motors.

That will also work as long as the plug is connected correctly but I think the wire should be 6 gauge.

Here's a picture of the plug and how the wires are connected, hope this helps.

Need to see the other half of the plug to be sure. It appears there are two negative (ground) wires and two positive leads. The series connection will be in the other half of the plug.

Ok, I'll go take a pic and be right back.

Is this what you're needing to see?

Also when I bought this boat it only had a 12v trolling motor on it and the only wires that were hooked to the battery were the red and black.

Disconnect the orange and white wires at both ends and tie them off out of the way. You do not need them. Now wire your batteries in series like I showed you and you are good to go.
