adding a 24 volt trolling motor to a 12 system
Hey,
I just purchased a 24 volt trolling motor, however everything on my boat is 12 volt. I have the staring battery and 2 deep cycle batteries. Can I somehow connect the new trolling motor to this system, if so how? Thanks, |

Go to http://www.yandina.com/troll24info.htm and scroll down to the
schematics. You would use Schematic B. The advantage of this system is the batteries charge in parallel so you can charge them from the outboard motor or any standard 12 volt automobile style charger. You don't need a 24 volt charger or a dual output charger. A big advantage is your two deep cycle batteries remain in parallel as they are now when the trolling motor is not running. It is fully automatic and comes with an unlimited warranty. Many report that their trolling batteries are already fully charged by the time they get back to the trailer. You can also use the trailer output on your tow vehicle to charge the trolling (and starting) batteries. Email me direct if you have any questions or post them here.

What would be even better is if you actually read my post and answered what
I asked. All you managed to do is try and sell me something that I don't even have a need for. "Andina Marie" wrote in message oups.com...

With that attitude you may not get a useful answer, other than to stick it. Anyway you look at it, You need a charger that has 2 "+" terminals and 1 "-" terminal. Use it on your two deep cycle batteries as recommended by the charge manufacturer. You can get a charger at BoatUS/West Marine. Any way you look at it, it is going to coast a little money. Next time I would suggest a little better response to your answers. |

With that attitude you may not get a useful answer, other than to stick it in your ear. If you looked at it, she did answer your question. Did you ever read a schematic before? Anyway you look at it, you need a charger that has 2 "+" terminals and 1 "-" terminal. Use it on your two deep cycle batteries as recommended by the charger's manufacturer. You can get a charger at BoatUS/West Marine. Hook the charger's input leads to your power source. Any way you look at it, it is going to cost a little money. Next time I would suggest a little more considerate response to the answers you may get. Or just plain beg someone too come over and do it for you. |

(top-posting fixed) It seems to me that Andina's product is an easy, convenient, and safe solution to your problem. Would it be better if I suggested her product? Another solution would be to connect the negative of your added battery to the existing 12 volt bus - then you have 24 volts between the existing negative and the positive of the added battery. However, you will need to add another 12 volt charger to charge the added battery. -- Peter Bennett, VE7CEI peterbb4 (at) interchange.ubc.ca new newsgroup users info : http://vancouver-webpages.com/nnq GPS and NMEA info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter Vancouver Power Squadron: http://vancouver.powersquadron.ca |

This is the 3rd or 4th attack in the last 6 hours! I mentioned Network Stumbler, a freeware program to find Wifi hotspots, and nearly got my arm ripped off by a flying motorcycle chain! Am I the only one to notice that Peggie Hall, r.b.c's resident marine head expert, hasn't been heard from in many moons? Could this be why? If you don't like someone's response to your question or begging, simply say "Thank you for all your help" and ignore what you don't like or think is stupid....instead of flailing away with the motorcycle chain under the bridge! |

Andina,
This is a great recommendation for this type of application. It's simple, cheap, compact, automatic, easy to understand and correct if something goes wrong, and far more efficient and better for the life of the batteries then any other approach. Although there are other approaches, this cannot be beat. Please ignore the negative comment from Bill, we have been jaded by various posters on this board, and strike back quickly (and maliciously) when people use the forum to advertise their own products (without a relevant question being posted by someone first).

I'm tempted to go back and get a psych degree after reading newsgroups.
All I can figure is that the anonymity of the web encourages people to lash out on newsgroups who wouldn't react that way in person. OTOH it could be that people like that don't have any real interpersonal relations anyway. All they do is sit in darkened rooms in front of a monitor inventing wicked newsgroups responses (hmmm, is that what I'm doing, how does that go about glass houses?). Just trolling. Don |
