You really do not want to run a 36 V trolling motor system on 24V for an extended period of time. You will heat up your batteries and ruin them. The reality is that 3 12V batteries can get to 24V over use in the day and the trolling motor will run, albeit very slow.
Can you use a 36V trolling motor on 24V?
According to Minn Kota you can run a 36 volt motor on 24 volts: BUT, it will run hotter, draw more amps, deplete the batteries sooner, and run the risk of damaging the batteries from over heating. The iPilot function and steering motor may not work.
Will a 36V motor run on 24V?
A 36V motor should operate just fine on a 24V battery. It won’t be quite as fast as it would with a 36V battery, but you’ll also be much less likely to burn out the motor.
Can you run a 36V Terrova on 24V?
Thus, one can use a 24V to run a 36V trolling motor. Even the amperes used by a 24V trolling motor depend on the speed setting, current, wind, boat weight, etc. You can run a 36V trolling motor on 24V, but I would not recommend doing so.
Can you run a 36 volt fortrex on 24 volts?
The 36V MK Fortrex will run on 24V. The control board is the same. The difference is the magnets and the armature. Because the armature is larger, there is a difference in the resistance load through the armature.
How long will a 36 volt trolling motor run?
Active Member. Anyone out there got experience with how many hours one should expect out of a 36 volt system running a 115 Minnkota trolling motor ? With full charge I’m only getting about 4 hours of battery life . Typical fishing use on power Set 1 – 3 with a few very short high power blasts.
How many amps does a 36 volt trolling motor pull?
A 112# thrust 36 volt would use approximately 38 amps at full speed, 20 at half speed. 20 amps for any period of time will not be kind to your series 27 batteries.
What is the difference between 24V and 36V motor?
The 24V motor at 24V gives you 500W at 2600 RPM and the 36V motor at 36V gives you 500W at 2600 RPM. Equal power. No difference in range, if your batteries were the same type and mass for the 24 and 36V systems, meaning that the energy for the 2 systems is equal (which would be Whr).
Will a 24 volt trolling motor run on 12 volts?
Either go 12 volt or add another battery and run the rated 24 volt. It wont hurt your motor. Most newer ones will not even turn over because the circuit board senses less than 22 volts (dead 24v system). Old ones will turn over but you will have half power.
Will a 24V motor run on 20V?
24V charger to 20V battery will work in a so-so way. As long as the charger can deliver a higher voltage than the battery(and sufficient amps to be useful) it’ll push energy into the battery.
What gauge wire should I use for a 36 volt trolling motor?
You need the 6 gauge.
How many batteries do I need for a 36 volt trolling motor?
While small and medium trolling motors use a single 12v marine battery, larger trolling motors use larger 24v and 36v systems, and require 2 or 3 marine batteries, accordingly.
Do you need 3 batteries for a 36 volt trolling motor?
36 Volt Systems (3 batteries): 1. Three 12-volt deep cycle batteries are required.
Will 12V run a 36V motor?
If you are talking DC motor then putting 12V into a 36V motor just makes it go slow with less torque. No harm done, unless having less torque means that the motor sits there stalled because it hasn’t enough power to turn it’s load yet there may be enough current flowing to overheat one armature winding.
How long will a 24V trolling motor run?
This will give you maximum speed and power and is often necessary on a large boat, or in strong winds. Thus, if you operate your trolling motor at maximum speed, you will typically get about 2 hours of use from a fully charged pair of “average” batteries. Possibly 4 hours of use for the larger extra capacity batteries.
How many amp hours do I need for a 36V trolling motor?
A typical setup for a 36-volt trolling motor is to run three 12-volt marine batteries in a series to achieve 36 volts. Three 100 Amp Hour (AH) lithium batteries in a series will power a trolling motor running at the same speed roughly twice as long as a series of three conventional 100 AH marine batteries.
How can I speed up my trolling motor?
Make Your Trolling Motor Faster
- Make Your Trolling Motor Faster.
- Change the Battery.
- Reduce the Load of the Canoe.
- Fix a more Streamlined Propeller.
- Put on Lighter Attire.
- Replace the Existing Motor.
- Conclusion.
How many amps does a 40 lb thrust trolling motor use?
40 to 45 lbs thrust is roughly 29 amps/hr instead of the 42 amps/hr that those respective motors draw for the same thrust.
How many amps does a Minn Kota ulterra use?
According to the MinnKota spec sheet, the max draw is 56 amps at 24 volts.
How long will trolling motor run on battery?
6-8 hours seems reasonable with an older motor. Battery group size could play a role in life but on a 12v older power drive a 24 to 27 group battery running between 6-8 hours is in line with where you can expect yourself to be.
Is 36V better than 24V?
Which Is Better 24V Or 36V? As a general rule, 36V is better than 24V because a 36V electric bike battery can produce more power (Watt-hour) than a 24V battery. Thus, a 36V battery can help an eBike climb up hills easier than a 24 Volt battery. The 24V and 36V batteries can both perform well on flat roads.
