12 24 volt wiring question

[mhales]

I understand how to wire the batteries to get 24 volts, however the wires were removed from the relay where the trolling motor plugs in. There are 6 connections on the relay what goes where?

Re: 12 24 volt wiring question

Here is what we need to know:

1) What trolling motor brand and model and what boat model
2) Does it operate from 12 AND 24 volts or 24 volts only.
3) 2, 3, or 4 wires from the batteries to the connector.
4) Is there a switch on the trolling motor connector panel. What are its markings. (12/24? Run/Charge?)
5) Are you sure the six connections are on a relay or is it a switch?
6) How many pins in the trolling motor receptacle?

Re: 12 24 volt wiring question

The trolling motor is a motor guide brute model 550

It will run 12 or 24 volt

There are 4 wires coming from the batteries

It is a 3 position rocker switch with 6 lugs on the back

the three positions are 2-12v charge, 12v, Run12/24

There are 3 pins in the receptical

Thank you.

Re: 12 24 volt wiring question

I have not seen that configuration but I will attempt to figure it out for you. The switch position descriptions are as follows:

2-12 Charge: this position connects the two batteries in parallel so they can be charged with a 12V charger (through the troller connector).
12 RUN: This position provides 12 volts to the receptacle
12/24 RUN: This position provides 24 volts to the receptacle

I have a diagram for the more common two position switch but I will have to create one for the three position switch. I am busy so be patient. Maybe someone else will show up that already has the diagram.
