I just got from UPS my 24 volt minn kota.
I have a question about wiring the batteries in series.

I have 3 batteries on my boat. One for the motor. And 2 others one under each console. Right now I have 2 down riggers on the boat and each one is wired to its own battery. These are the batteries I want to wire togather for my 24 volt trolling motor. But if I wire them in series + bat one to - bat 2 then then - bat one to motor and + bat 2 to motor can I still wire my downriggers like I have them?

Thanks for the info.

Hunter, I would suggest hooking the downriggers to the main cranking battery and have the other two batteries dedicated to the trolling motor.  Running the big  motor  should keep up the charge on the cranking battery for the downriggers.
