Wiring a 24 v system
I want to instal 2 new batteries to run a 24v trolling motor on a 195cc. I currently have the standard 2 batteries with a dual selector switch. I want to be able to charge them from the engine, as well as with an onboard 240v (Australian) charger.
Any suggestions re wiring and fittings. I have installed the above on my last boat however it was a 12v trolling system and this will need a little more thought. All help appreciated Andrew

I know this is not really what you are wanting to hear but........I like to keep the starting/running batteries separate and use deep cycle batteries for the trolling motor and install a 2 bank waterproof charger for them if you want. I have never been able to run my deep cycles down and treated them with MinnKota battery stabilizer and have been using'm since 2002. I have replaced the starting batteries once.
I always am comfortable that if something happened to the starting batteries (dual sepector set to "both" and accidentally ran down,etc), I could just take one of the separate deep cycles and start the motor....duplicity and redundancy out on the water just like having separate vhf's and gps's. Just a thought, good luck, Molar

Thanks
I have just installed 2 100 amp hour absorbed glass mat batteries in addition to my cranking battery and house battery for a total of 4 batteries. I have managed to fit all including a 20 amp on board minn kota charger all under the CC. Quite a tight fit. The advice that I have been given is that I cannot use ine of the AGM batteries for the assessories supply. Is this correct? Andrew

Charger
I think the best unit I have seen for charging off the engine is the Stealth unit. It is pricey. The following link is to a discussion forum of these units.
http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/bassboar...ors/t65753.htm Might help in making a choice or at least where to look next. I just put in a minn Kota on board charger and a power switch on the 24V outlet side of the batteries and plug a cord into my console when I am near power. Hope this helps.
