How many batteries do I need for a 36 volt trolling motor?
How many batteries do I need for a 36 volt trolling motor?
While small and medium trolling motors use a single 12v marine battery, larger trolling motors use larger 24v and 36v systems, and require 2 or 3 marine batteries, accordingly.
Can you run a 24V trolling motor on 36V?
A 24V trolling motor use 50+ amps for running on the water wide open for 2.25 hr, whereas a 36V uses 40 amps and runs for 3 hrs with a heavy load. Thus, one can use a 24V to run a 36V trolling motor. Even the amperes used by a 24V trolling motor depend on the speed setting, current, wind, boat weight, etc.
Can you run a 36V motor on 12V?
If you are talking DC motor then putting 12V into a 36V motor just makes it go slow with less torque. No harm done, unless having less torque means that the motor sits there stalled because it hasn’t enough power to turn it’s load yet there may be enough current flowing to overheat one armature winding.
What size battery do I need for a 40 lb thrust trolling motor?
Most trolling motor batteries fail due to lack of proper charging. We suggest selecting a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery with at least a 110 amp hour rating, usually a group 27 size battery.
What gauge wire should I use for a 36V trolling motor?
Eight gage wire is fine for the length of the original wire. If you can hook the original wire directly to the batteries it will be fine. However, you will be increasing the run if you add more wire, therefore you also have to increase the size to 6 gage.

Will 24V motor run on 12V?
The biggest problem is the circuit electronics may not run on 12V and, yes your performance will be crap. The fuse does nothing to drop volts only limits amps so that thought is not relevant. 24v hooked to 12v will spin for a while on a full battery but there will be no torque. You could stop it with your hand.
Can I run a 24v trolling motor on 12v?
24v hooked to 12v will spin for a while on a full battery but there will be no torque. You could stop it with your hand. It is like running your motor with half the spark plugs missing.
Can you run a 48v motor on 24v?
Re: Running 48v Hub Motor on 24v? Chances are, if you buy the kit for 36v, you can run it on 48v later. Then it has a low enough lvc for 36v now, and likely can take up to 60v measured when the battery is fresh off the charger.
Which is the best 36 volt trolling motor?
Minn Kota is one of the best trolling motors for larger vessels. This motor runs off 24 and 36-volt deep cycling marine respectively. It also maximizes speed control and battery life. It will definitely give you an excellent and quiet motor.
What’s the average age of a trolling motor?
The average age of the trolling motors owned was about 3-4 years. However, this too varied somewhat by model. Some of the newer technology motors (e.g., Minn Kota Ultrex or Ulterra) skewed a bit younger (2-3 years old), while a couple of the more established models (Minn Kota Edge and Maxxum) had a median age of 6-10 years.
Can a freshwater trolling motor be used in salt water?
To lessen your stress, I’ve gone out on the water to test and review six freshwater trolling motors. These reviews cover both 24 and 36-volt models, plus new “selectable voltage” models. Keep in mind, these are freshwater specific and you shouldn’t use them in saltwater due to lack of corrosion protection.
Which is the best trolling motor for bass anglers?
The high-tech Minn Kota Ultrex and Ulterra, and even Terrova, also received very high overall ratings. As will be discussed later, the “Spot Lock” feature is truly a game-changer and a key reason for the high scores. Another strong performer is the MotorGuide Tour (8.4), a bow mount cable steer model designed specifically for Bass anglers.
