I am going to purchase a male and female trolling motor connector kit for 24v
I have a 24v 65lb thrust Maxxum, it is a 2 wire red/black this is the trolling motor I will mostly be using
If I buy a 3 wire connector kit that can be used for both 24v and 12v and I wire the female as shown to the batteries using all three wires, can I do as follows
Wire my trolling motor 24v Maxxuum on the male end plug using the red and black terminals set up for 24v
Then purchase an additional male plug, terminate it for 12v using the yellow and black wires and connect that to my 12v trolling motor
What I am hoping to accomplish here is to use the same female plug for both trolling motors, sometimes I go on small rivers and it is nice to use my 12v hand steer trolling motor because I can angle it up and run it in really shallow water
Does anyone see any reason why I cannot do this?
