Assuming you have a 24-volt trolling motor, it's simple. Just add another 12-volt battery in series with the first. If your trolling motor circuit is isolated so that you're not running electronics (which are generally 12-volt, but may be 24-volt tolerant) on the same system, then it's very straightforward. In terms of current, any wire large enough for the load of a 12-volt trolling motor will handle a 24-volt motor, as the current is reduced in half (Ohm's Law). So the only real things then to worry about are the motor, and another battery connected in series with the first.

There are a BUNCH of online marine references on 12- vs 24-volt systems. Google around a bit and you'll see what I mean.
