Was thinking of buying a new boat. I have a 24v troll mtr that I use now and need because of the river currents where I fish. The new boat only has room for 2 batteries. It's a 2006 duracrAft 1650 crappie stick with a 2006 mercury 60hp 4 stroke. Is it a bad idea, or even possible, to hook both batteries together to run my tm as a 24v(hardwired to the batteries, not using a plug) but also keep all other 12v accessories and electrical components hooked to one of the two battery. Essentially not leaving a battery separate for just cranking and other electrical needs.
Unless someone is familiar with this boat design and give me an idea how to get 3 batteries in there so I can have completely different power sources for the tm and cranking.
Many thanks
