Wanting to go from 12v to 24 volt system
Anyone ever change the electrical system on their boat? I am wanting to go to at least a 24 volt setup. Going to get a 24 volt trolling motor and also to ensure I have enough to run new electronics.
Is there a electrical system wire diagram out there for a do it your selfer? Would I have to change out my fuse box setup as well? Anything that I need to think of or ensure I dont forget?
Thanks guys.

UPDATED and completed!!!!!!!
Ok well got all the electrical items updated and installed today. Traded my old 12 volt Trolling motor in on another slightly used 24 volt Trolling motor 70lbs Thrust with the 12/24 switch option on the foot pedal. 3 New batteries and 3 bank Minn Kota on board batter charger. Installed both 1198 and 998 Humminbird units with ram mounts and transducers on transom and trolling motor, as well as both GPS pucks. Got live well cleaned out and scrubbed. Still can not decide on where to mount Spider riggin mounts though, guess I will try a spot and if I dont like it, move it to another.
Boat should be good to go all this fishing season, unless I have some more bad luck down the road, lets hope not. Cant wait to try out this bigger trolling motor now, should be able to fight wind all day long with this baby! hahahahaha, cause it is beginning to look like it is going to blow all year long now.
