Diagram of 36 volt hookup for trolling motor, i have a factory 24 volt wiring in my boat and I need to turn it into a 36 volt please help thank you

Maybe this will help!?
Hope so

Best to you

You can buy a (Battery Switch) that controls all your batteries. Where ever you turn the dial is what bank you will be using.
As far as The trolling motor go get a three prong plug, female male ground and stand by. The wiring is so simple it you do this.

Walld"

It is likely to be a function of the switch to place both batteries in parallel in the 12 volt position and in series in the 24 volt position - this is likely to make the switch and the wiring fairly complicated as the motor could be wired internally in a variety of ways and the switch will also need to send the right voltage down the right wires.

I suggest you first ensure both batteries are fully charged and in good order. Once you are certain of that it is time to inspect the switch and wiring and test the voltages. A wiring diagram would make the task much easier.

One of these guys will help you.

do you have it hard wired to pos and neg or does it have the 3 prong plug in switch ..if 3 prong its for a 24/36 volt motor wont work on 12 volt less you have the 12 volt plug

The heat is developed from to much resistance from batteries to TM, check for loose/corroded connections at batteries, including the jumperwire, also check the size of wire from battery to plug, should be at least 8 gauge if not 6 gauge depending on the length of run. If corrosion has built up inside the wires this will also cause high resistance causing excessive heat build up. I would prolly just replace boat wiring to make sure none of the above problems are present. Use tinned copper marine grade wire that is multi stranded.

You have a high resistance short either inside the wiring or the lower unit. This will cause a voltage drop. I would be very careful not to keep it connected too long cuz the battery is trying to keep up with the current demand and may explode.

Just like a flashlight. Positive to neg, In a loop going to the motor. That is the jump between the batteries, One red wire coming in from motor, it will go to pos, from one battery, the neg will go to the 2nd battery pos. From the 2nd battery neg will go to the motor. That is it, one jumper connecting the 2 batteries, will create the 24 volts. Hope this helps.

No. you can put in extra batteries and use it, but you must remove you charging system from them to use it that way. Not really practical.

use a volt meter and check for voltage at the plug, if none..check in the back near your batterys and locate the circuit breaker and reset it ...basic system = battery-breaker-wires....hope this helps ....GL
