How do you hook up trolling motor boats?

If you have some new trolling motor in your garage, you may be wondering, "How exactly do I wire these things?"

One thing we always want to emphasize with trolling motor applications, is that the batteries used in any application where more than one battery are connected together, need to be identical in age, size and type. If one battery goes bad, you really need to replace the entire bank or you could see continued premature failure of other batteries in the bank.

With that knowledge in mind, some of our sponsored anglers from WalleyeWorkshop.com created this helpful YouTube video, which explains how to wire batteries for both 24-volt 36-volt trolling motors. Check it out! If you haven't bought trolling motor batteries yet, be sure to check out our factory-direct selection!
