Need a little help please

Just bought a used auto pilot trolling motor. It is 24 volt. Can someone confirm the setup for me?

Battery a = positive to trolling motor
Battery b = negative to trolling motor

Battery a negative jumped to battery b positive?

Also, I guess I should put in a fuseable link? What size and where? On the positive side going to motor?

Going to be working on getting the motor on the boat...will check back in a bit for wiring.

Thanks!

24 V is attained by crossing the wires on two batteries. positive to negative.

Did you get the retractable mount for it? If not the motor will stick out to far in the stowed pos.

You got it Rip. That'll give you your 24 v. I would put a fuse on the positive lead going to the TM. Most of the time you can find the owners manuals online. They're good to have. Just check the # of pages before you print one out....

i went to a rv camper supply place and bought 40 amp breakers for mine. put it in the positive wire.

for 24 volt.
run a positive wire from one batt. to the troll motor positive

run one neg wire from the other batt to troll motor. neg.

then make a jumper wire to go from one battery to the other. neg to positive.
that does not have wires on them.
