Connect the negative terminal on the first battery to the vehicle's ground. You can usually do this by connecting the opposite end of the wire connected to the negative terminal to the engine, gearbox or chassis. here

Connect the negative terminal on the first battery to the vehicle's ground. You can usually do this by connecting the opposite end of the wire connected to the negative terminal to the engine, gearbox or chassis. here
Connect the positive terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery with a length of battery cabling as short as possible to accomplish this connection.
Most car, truck and boat electrical systems run on 12 volts DC, but increasing that to 24 can have a few distinct advantages. Increasing voltage means decreasing current, and as current is the main determining factor in wiring size, increasing voltage means decreasing wire size. This means that doubling your voltage output to 24 volts will allow you to run wire gauges that are half the size (and cost) of traditional 12-volt systems. Making this conversion is a simple task, but may require the replacement of your electrical loads. more
Mount the two batteries as near together as possible and ensure that they are securely fastened to prevent movement when the vehicle is in motion. [links]
Connect a length of battery cabling to the positive terminal on the second battery, with the other end connected to your starting motor. Other appliances can also be connected to the positive terminal on the second battery as well, which will be putting out 24 volts, as when batteries are connected in series their voltage is added, with their capacity remaining the same. here
20% larger (to account for the 85% efficient AC inverter).
Re: Pulling 12 volts from a 24 volt bank
You cannot "parallel" the wiring. Each load would require its own +/- leads. You cannot "Parallel" high+low bank batteries by just wiring them together. [links]
Yes--If the loads are naturally balanced--Yes, you can do this pretty well. here
Yes you can, like the post above, just make sure you hook the neg and pos correctly. Run the wire direct to the electronics you want to power. I'm not sure how you boat is wired but you will want to make the connections to the battery directy. Also, be sure to put inline fuses in from the battery connections you make. If you decide to move the wires to the other battery at some point you will need to move both + to + - to -<br /><br />SingleShot here
Re: is it possible to power a 12 volt accessory off of a 24v trolling motor set
USE A VOLTMETER. YOU ARE GETTING 24 VOLTS WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THE RADIO ETC WILL DRAW ANYTHING ELSE? YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING. YOUR RADIO MAY WORK FROM 9-18,19,20 VOLTS YOU MAY THINK YOU HAVE IT RIGHT TILL YOUR ON THE WATER AND THERE IS SMOKE COMING FROM YOUR ELECTRICAL BOX. more
Here's what I did using a battery equalizer and it works perfectly.

How much power (=current drain) is needed?
Patrick, let's say that you are using the lower battery extensively, (current exceeding the equalizer capacity) and then shut down the engine/charging system, do you not risk ending up with two poorly charged batteries for the next time the engine is started, or am I missing something?
