Hey guys new member here, I have heard lots of good things about this forum. I am new to boating and just bought an older bass boat. The guy took his newer trolling motor off and replaced with an older Minn Kota that does work, it's a 12/24v with the switch on the foot peddle. I need to wire a new plug onto the tm to plug to the rec. on the boat. The tm has 3 wires red black and white, the plug has three wires yellow blue and black. My question is which wires do I hook up to which for running 12v. Sorry if this is a newb question, but I am a newb to boating. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!!

Little confused by your question. You said the motor is a 12/24 and then you said you want to wire it to run on 12 volts. 12 volt operation is selected by selecting 12 volts on the foot pedal. The wiring however should be set up using two batteries. So do you plan to use just one battery? What's the "big picture here?"
