trolling motor battery charging

[sinclair]

I have a 96 pro v and i would like to know if my 24v series should be charging from my 70hp yamaha or do I need some sort of amplifier to do so. there is wires coming from the back but I am not sure how to wire correctly.

Check your motors owner's manual to check your DC output...I'm thinking it is 12 volt. I would be a little cautious about adding a transformer to bump it up to 24v, however.

Just curious, do you have an onboard battery charger, or do you use an external charger for your trolling motor batteries?

Your Yamaha's electrial system is 12 volt, and is designed to maintain the main 12 Volt starting Bat. I assume you have a 24 Volt trolling Mtr. Install an on board charger, and recharge after you dock. Keep it simple.
