  1. I assume you know how to wire the batteries for 24v. but just in case you hook the neg of one battery to the pos of the other battery then use the unused posts to the trolling motor. if you have any questions about this feel free to message me. I always wire my ff to the starting battery.

    Thanks for the advice. It just seems overwhelming. I am on a job right now and have an electrician getting me the stuff for the wiring. 6g wire I believe is what it is calling for. I am also looking for a battery tray to run batteries online and not side by side. I think I have to keep batteries where mine is located now cause I’m not sure the charging leads will make it farther forward where I thought about moving it to. Right now my boat is in the winter catch all position so I need to empty it and start laying stuff out and see how it all lays out.

  2. Look for advice on changing up a trolling motor to 24V. I have been running 12V Minn Kota Power Drive 40lb . The new I purchased is a 24V Minn Kota Terrova 80lb.

    Everything I have read and watched tells me I need to upgrade wiring ad breaker. Wire fish finders to the starting battery. I also purchased a 3 bank charger that I will also need to install.

  3. Jim and I did a walleye/bass combo on Lake Erie today. The bite was tough around Turtle Island and Michigan dumping grounds. We managed a few walleye and released some snagged ones. The walleye came on hair jigs and blade baits. 
    The bass bite was sporadic, but we did get some decent ones including this hump back. Water surface temperature on Lake Erie was 42 degrees. Water clarity was only a couple inches down by Turtle Island. It was pure mud.

  5. Thank you. I have boat but have not had it on Erie yet. I’m still finishing rigging it for Erie. I still have radio to install and buy antenna mount and antenna. I also still need to pick up a flare gun. I’m more than willing to try it but I know safety is number one and I wouldn’t want to risk it over some fish. I will also have to watch forecast for winds cause I would not be into the large wave days at all with my small boat. Also is there an app or forecast.com for Erie that you guys use?

    Thanks
