Battery setup for electric motor

[Knotiboy]

Hi folks,<br />I'm new in the boating and fishing sport so I have a few questions regarding the following.<br /><br />My intent is to purchase a 74-62 Minn Kota for my 19' boat.I already have a charger for my two batteries one on port and starport.I have a third<br />rack to hold another battery for which it's wired to a female plug on the bow for electric motor.My question is since I'll be needing two 24v batteries,how do I setup the batterie configuration so that they are continouisly charged with my existing on board charger?<br /><br />Thanks

I attached a great web site with all the info you need.<br /><br />You said 2-24 volt batteries. You need two 12V wired togther making 24V.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br /> http://www.smithmarine.com/q_a.htm
