Trolling motors do not need to be in the water to run. Though it is generally pointless to run one out of water for more than a test.

What size wire for trolling motor?

The size of wire needed for a trolling motor depends on the motor's maximum amperage draw and the length of the wire run. A general guideline for a 12V trolling motor is 6-gauge wire for runs up to 10 feet, 4-gauge wire for runs up to 20 feet, and 2-gauge wire for runs over 20 feet to minimize voltage drop and ensure proper performance. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific trolling motor.


How do you wire two 12 volt marine batteries together to run a 24 volt trolling motor?

To get 24v from two 12v batteries you just link between ones positive and the others negative then connect your motor to the spare terminals, but your 12v charging system will not charge them (and any 12v equipment connected to them will burn out!) without removing the link.

Will two 12 volt batteries wired parallell last longer than one 12 volt on a trolling motor?

Possibly but you will have twice the amperage for sure. So the 2 batteries will run the trolling motor far longer. My guess is yes, they will last longer than just one battery. That is an educated guess.


Can you run a boat motor out of water and if so, what are the potential risks or consequences?

Running a boat motor out of water can cause damage to the motor due to overheating. The water in the lake or ocean helps to cool the motor while it is running. Without water, the motor can overheat and potentially seize up, leading to costly repairs or replacement. It is important to always run a boat motor in water to prevent damage.

How can I test a boat motor out of water?

To test a boat motor out of water, you can use a motor muffs or a flushing attachment to connect a hose to the motor's water intake. This will allow you to run the motor without it being in the water, ensuring it is functioning properly. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions when testing the motor out of water.
