All you need to do to convert to a 24 volt system is to make one jumper cable to hook from one battery to the other in series. A series connection is just hooking the positive side of one battery to the negative of the other battery.
To complete the circuit, you hook the positive of your trolling motor wire to the open positive post, and the negative wire to the open negative post. You are all done.
With the batteries being as close as they are, you can get away with 8 gauge wire without issue. When running long lengths, the bigger wire helps to keep resistance to a minimum.
Enjoy the new system!!
