I bought an '88 Skeeter SK2000 bass, '89 Yamaha 225 hp Excel G boat and motor I haven't used yet. The 24V trolling motor system is stand alone for charging and I understand it.

The boat start system has two 6V batteries in series, and it appears to have come set up for dual batteries on that side.

Will my Yamaha/boat charging system charge these, being 2 6V batteries or do I need to change them out to 12V single or two connected in parallel?

Thanks, Larry

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... If the 2 6v batteries are in series, yer motor will only see a 12v battery, 'n charge 'em accordin'ly,....

Generally, that's done to increase the amps available,...
