Upgrading lower unit on a trolling motor

Recently I was going to get a higher thrust trolling motor for my boat. I found that some people just change out the lower unit part to a higher thrust one and it is much cheaper. I have 54pound 12v, looking to up grade to 70 or 80 pound 24v.

Any tips? or has anyone else tried this?

Never heard of it and never tried it. One thought though (and I'm sure someone on here knows the answer): Wouldn't going to 24v muck-up the electronics (i.e. computer boards, etc.) in the top part of a TM originally designed as a 12v model? Maybe going 12v 45lb to 12v 55lb (as an example) would work but I would wonder about 12v to 24v. Just my 2c
