It depends on how you want to wire it up. There are a couple of different ways depending on the type of mtor your have. Some with the 12/24 switich would need both sets of wires. Just 24 can use two or one set depending on the type of plug. You probably will just need to run a jump wire from the pos. of one to the neg. of the other and then connect to two remaining to the existing wires. They should be at least 8 guage. Also make sure you have the circuit breaker or fuse in the circuit.

If I am not mistaken, two wires is normal. With two batteries being used, one lead from the positive terminal of battery #1 and one lead from the negative terminal of battery #2 should be running to your trolling motor. Then the batteries will be connected by the other two posts.

ok i need so questions answered before buying one of these things cause i dont want to light my boat on fire Cheesy

.

i have a 2004 trackerpt175 and with the front panel removed the TM only has two wires running to the plug (however they are pretty heavy gauge wires). my question is if its a 12/24 system would there be 4 wires? if not can i run a 24v system on the two wires alone without frying fuses? my boats manual is pretty vague so i was hoping someone here is a wiring guru. thanks for any info at all.
