1982 Cajun trolling motor wiring

[deuceswild123]

I have recently purchased a 1982 Cajun fishing boat. this boat came with a 12-24 volt trolling motor. the problem that i am having is the boat in its past was hard wired to only run 12 volts. all of the original wires are still run to the front of the boat but they bypass the selector switch and the battery indicator lights. what is the correct way to reconnect these components so that i can select between 12 and 24 volts. if it helps there are four wires leaving the battery area going to the front of the boat.

Without some pictures of the items that have been bypassed and without the color of the wires from the batteries, I can't help --- but I'd like to. I can tell you that the four wires from the batteries are paired, one pair to each battery. The colors are probably Red/Black and Orange/Black. That's all I can do for you unless you submit some pictures of the panel (the front and back of it) and any other stuff that's been bypassed.

here are the pics the first is the front of the panel

the next is of the back

these are the wires coming from the back of the boat

this is the entire back and the wires that are currently hooked to it

the next are a series of close ups on the components and their wiring

hope these pics will do it if you need more just ask i know that one of the componets will need to be replaced due to one of the pins being broken but this should not be an issue thanks
