bearberg Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Could you use jumper cables from a 24 volt system (trolling motor batteries) to start your motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryd15 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yes, make sure you hook up to both posts on only one of the trolling batteries. I would disconnect or make sure the trolling motor is off also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Should be able to. 1 battery to 1 battery though. 12v to 12v.Your 2 trolling motor batteries are wired in Series, which makes the 2 of them 24v (when things are connected properly).Onboard chargers charge each battery (bank) separately with 12v even though the pair is wired as a 24 system.

BobT Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Answers so far are correct. Maybe this will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I've done it a few times and never disconnected my 24v system. So far so good, I always carry a set of cables in the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
