Is it ok to run a 24 volt trolling motor on a 12 volt battery to test the motor to see if it actually runs?
df--
I don't have experience with trolling motors, but I do have experience
with a variety of other electric motors. For example, the cheap speed
control for electric R/C boats is a resistor, dropping the voltage to
the motor to slow it down.
It seems to me that a 24V trolling motor will do just fine at 12V,
although only 1/2 as fast.
