Join me in this video as I wire a 24 volt trolling motor. This can be intimidating but seeing it can make so much more sense. If you've never wired a 24v trolling motor, such as a Minn Kota Terrova, Motor Guide, Garmin, etc., this will help you. Please like this video if it helped you and consider subscribing because you'll never know what we're going to get into next!!

I just had to do this on a new to me boat,,,, wasn't hundred percent sure . Thx good video

“Clean electrical connections are the key to everything running correctly” … Very wise words. Crusty connections are a pretty common issue with TMs - especially with all the new tech like remote steer, pwr this and that etc. From the jumper to the breaker, you nailed this install. Thanks for another great video

@EricGaskamp Год назад

I had to learn that the hard way about clean connections! I think I may go a little overboard now! Lol Thank you for the kind words!!

My name is Grady and this video helped me to wire up a 24 vote trolling motor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thanks for the straightforward explanation. Mine got crossed up somehow and hopefully these steps will clear it up, after checking the batteries out.

Same exact 2 batteries I picked up today. Everstart 27 marine. Thanks for the video

Hey Kenya, thanks for watching! These batteries are awesome, especially for the money! They always have more than enough power, even after using them all weekend!!

Great batts at a great price. I have 3 i use w/ a 36v system going on 3 years old. They’re fished hard and show no signs of stopping

OK what if you have a 24v charger can you just hook that up and charge both batteries with the one charger

@tjlange8741 Год назад

First off very informative loved the video but when I hooked up my trolling motor I had it on the same posts as the wire I used for the 24v system and it never worked so I put the trolling motor wires on the other posts and it works perfect now

@EricGaskamp Год назад

Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m glad everything worked out for you!! Thank you for watching!

@besearchingforwisdom6267 2 года назад

Your 24v jumper wire is also important to protect the wire from any shorting out. You should have circuit protection on every circuit at or very near the positive side battery post.

@Five_string73 Месяц назад

How do you get by leaving the jumper hooked up ? Does the Noco automatically sense something and ignore the jumper?

@cheechkehoe4039 Год назад

First, Thanks for the video. Is it necessary to run the positive wire for the trolling battery on Battery 1 and the negative on 2? I run power to a plug in the bow. I have 4 gauge wire running from the battery compartments to the plug in the bow....

@EricGaskamp Год назад

Tha k you for watching! Running the wires to the plug that way is how you get 24 bolts at the plug so usually that is how it is run unless the manual for the trolling motor says otherwise.

@aleve1974 2 года назад

I’m still learning about this whole 24 volt set up. I’ve been out twice now with my boat, the minkota runs great. But when I get home and check the batteries for recharging purposes, only one battery is discharged. Is that normal?

@EricGaskamp 2 года назад

No, that is definitely not normal. Are both batteries the same age? Also, It sounds like its running in 12 volt mode. Older trolling motors had a switch that you would run 12v only or 24v. What trolling motor do you have? Another reason is that it could be wired improperly. Make sure both batteries are identical and they are the same age. Both batteries must be in top shape otherwise one weak one will bring the other down. I hope this helps some, and thank you for watching!

@aleve1974 2 года назад

@@EricGaskamp I have a Minnkota Edge, 24 volt 70 lb thrust. My batteries are a couple monster heavy Eaton deep cells. They are hooked up as you directed, but for some reason they discharge kind of goofy. Also, with my volt meter, shouldn’t the reading on the meter be up around 24 volts if both are adequately charged?

@dennislewis7602 10 месяцев назад

How do you charge it? Like do you charge it on 2amp 12 volt button on the charger. I’m really asking about charging one. For my kayak Minn kota. I just got the old town predator xl. Im trying to figure out if im charging the same 24 volt battery right or not. I’ve used it four times and I thought I was charging it right. But the volt meter on the battery box said 11.5 however the tester on the motor said charge it. I came back in because I thought it was dead.

@EricGaskamp 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching. You can charge each battery individually with a small 12volt charger like that. Just do one battery at a time.

@SlayermikeFishingandMORE Год назад

Question for you I was just given a trolling motor that is a 24V is it cheapoer buying two 12v batteries compared to buying a single 24v lithium? I dont know what to do with it

@EricGaskamp 9 месяцев назад

That is an excellent question, however I am not well versed in lithium yet. Due to cost I stick with lead acid but I have heard many good things about the single 24 volt lithium. Also another charger would be needed for the lithium if yours won't do multiple types of batteries. Sorry for the late reply and thanks for watching!

@ericconner7560 2 года назад

so where did the charge wire come from? do you have a battery isolator somewhere on the boat?

@EricGaskamp 2 года назад

Are you talking about the wire from the onboard charger?

@rickschwachtgen2239 2 года назад

Where would you put the cables if you had a 2nd trolling motor on board?

@EricGaskamp 2 года назад

Hey Rick, thanks for watching! I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean. If you can elaborate I'd be more than happy to help!

@chadbosko8935 Год назад

If I'm using my outboard to charge the batteries can I not just put the red wire from it to the red post on the battery where the red wire from the electric motor is attached and the same for the black in the appropriate spot

@SamiKhan-vl8dk Год назад

Amazing bro I have a question Brother how these batteries will be charge from engine ? Is it possible? And the one you fix for charge Is it ac charging unit that gives charge to the battery. I m from Pakistan work in UAE

@EricGaskamp Год назад

Thank you for watching!! These batteries charge from an on board charger which plugs into a wall outlet. I believe people have tried to make a charging system using the engine however it is not very practical. I can go a full weekend on one charge. Sometimes longer!

@anthonycruz8992 8 месяцев назад

Can you show your starter battery hookup

@proassassin8473 4 месяца назад

I have an old Charger and it has Red and Black and an Orange cable and a ground. I’m still so confused

@TheRickyshelby Год назад

So it doesn’t matter that bank one positive of the charger is touching the negative of bank 2?

@Jrza7x 2 года назад

24MS should be switched to a 24DC, I believe the DC will hold charge longer

@bocost5142 5 месяцев назад

Should have showed how to hook up accessories

@connerbehrlefishing 3 месяца назад

I have accessories hooked up to my cranking battery. Accessories normally run off of 12v and you’ll fry them on 24v, right? So in my mind once you run 2 batteries in series, and you only hook accessories up on 1 of the 2 batteries in series, it would still pull 24v to the accessories if that makes sense? I could be wrong. I’m no expert and I hate working with electricity.

@4589scott 2 года назад

This demonstration would be wiring these in "series", correct?

@EricGaskamp 2 года назад

Yes, that is correct!

@jefferson007 Год назад

What is the Amp Hour on these battery?

@MiamiMattOutdoors Год назад

So you put your chargers wires on each battery?

@EricGaskamp Год назад

Yes, that is correct

@samuelmackey8154 2 года назад

Be careful when using your jumper wire, if you have a newer minn kota and hook it up like that you’ll smoke your plug in. I just about did it. Went back and read the manual for the trolling motor and it’s actually opposite.. connect positive to battery 1 and negative to battery 2 for your jumper wire

@EricGaskamp 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and thank you for the heads up!!

@chadbosko8935 Год назад

so his hookup is wrong for joining the batteries together? Or do u mean just for your minn kota, I have a motorguide with no instructions so his way is probably ok for me right?
