Trolling motor 24 volt

[cobia captain]

If you have very limited usage of a 24 volt trolling motor, is it okay to run as 12 volt or will it cause damage?

Low voltage is not good for an electric motor nor will it perform adequately. Use it properly.

As Sivertip stated, it's not good for the motor at all. Use it with a 24v power source or get yourself a 12 volt model.

I don't think it will damage anything but it would be very very weak.

I doubt it would even run but I'm not going to test mine to find out.

When I bought my new to me boat last year it had a 24 Volt OMC trolling motor. The previous owner had it hooked up to a 12 volt battery. It would run but very little power or speed. I added 2 new 27 Group batteries and rewired it, a major difference.
