My trolling motor is hooked up for 24 volt and my fish finder is hooked up to the positive battery, can I hook up an onboard charger as well. Currently, I take the batteries out of the boat to charge so nothing stays connected and I would really like to put the on board charger on board.

Thanks,
jackson

Fish finder on the positive battery? need more explanation on this. Usually you want your finder to be on the starting battery as to miss the interference some trolling motors can produce. If this is the case then yes, onboard chargers are the way too go. I would suggest dual pro or Guest chargers. They are the best IMO.

Well from what I gathered from you saying is you have your batteries set up as 24 volt. Then you ran your finder as 12 volt by using pos and neg from one battery. If thats the case and you don't want to unhook anything you need a 2bank charger. One bank per battery.

Agree with Jackson re onboard chargers. Dual Pro for your 24 volt system has worked great for me with AGM batteries.
