Install battery in a ventilated compartment. Batteries in the system must be the same manufacture, type, size, and age. Make sure that the trolling motor is disconnected. Wire in series only as directed in wiring diagram, to provide 24 volts. The jumper wire used should be one size larger than the Trolling Motor lead wire. Connect negative - black lead from motor to negative - terminal of battery 1.
Wire in series only as directed in wiring diagram, to provide 36 volts. Wire in series only as directed in wiring diagram, to provide 48 volts. You can calculate this by dividing the pound thrust by the voltage and multiplying that by The volts that your trolling motor uses will usually help you to determine the size of wire gauge and circuit breaker to use. Most trolling motors for kayaks will be either 12 volt or 24 volt.
With a 24 volt motor, you will need two 12 volt batteries. This is generally known as DC Direct Current as the current is flowing in a straight line directly from the battery to the motor. This is unlike AC Alternating Current that we find in our homes via the power outlets in the walls. A circuit breaker helps to protect the electrical circuit from damage due to an overload of current.
The circuit breaker effectively stops the power if the level of current is too high. Oh, and the motor arrived the next day. Keep up the great work, guys! Copyright , TrollingMotors. Unavailable Sold Out. Following proper wiring rules will ensure that you do not experience power loss between the batteries and the trolling motor. When extending the wiring on your trolling motor, it's very important to consider what gauge wire to use. I run to a central negative post from the deep cycle battery that eventually terminates on the neg starting battery for a ground.
I'm not saying this is the correct way but it has worked fine for me. Joined Jan 25, Messages 6, How long is the total wire run, battery to TM wire connection, and back to battery again? Blue seas wire calculator google it may help to find exactly what gauge of wire you need.
The 55 TM will draw about 55 amps -at stall speed. Last edited: Aug 16, Looking at the users manual , there is a battery cable spec vs length chart. In this case the length is specified by distance from the battery not the usual round trip distance.
The CB is 60 amps. All info matches and conforms to abyc standards. Last edited: Aug 17, Got this one fingered out. Owners manual called for 4, but not a specific type. In structural wiring, there is different insulation types and that along with the size and type conductor and application determines how many conductors can go in a conduit.
That was what I was trying to figure out. Boats got conduit for the trolling motor wire. Just making sure it would hold the wire I need safely, and it will. Issue solved.
