Got this from Friends who love Vintage Toronto site I belong to. They say it’s 1959. The car seems familiar.

Who said anything about the guy rewiring his boat for 24V? We're talking trolling motors here. Some guys mentioned he'd be better off running a 24V setup, vs a 12V setup. But, as the OP stated, that's not in the cards so he'll be simply increasing the capacity of his 12V setup by adding an additional battery.

You are correct. At the similar Ah rating a series rated 24V system will out perform a 12V system. The have a 12V system and wiring them in parallel this is the best solution for what I am running - short of dripping $3k for a new trolling motor.

That's where I'm at now that I've retired. Never knew how hard it is to make something different for supper every night. For me, it's no big deal, throw a couple of hotdogs in a pan and I'm eating in 10 minutes. That only works once every couple of months for the wife. Tonight is smothered baked pork chops, served on a bed of rice. Tomorrow I'm thinking buttered chicken. Homemade butter sauce of course; she likes curried foods but not too heavy on the spices. She's worked, raised the kids, and cooked for all these years. It's my turn to give back. Plus she's the money winner right now and I don't want to screw up my weekly allowance!!! LOL Dan.

Sorry but connecting batteries different ways you get different results: - Series: Capacity remains the same but your voltage is additive (12V+12V=24V) - Parallel: Voltage remains the same and your Ah is additive Trust me on this.......I'm a master electrician

But I DID take some photos a couple days ago, when I canned some BC "Spring" salmon. I was out to Port Hardy on the Northeast coast of Vancouver Island back in August for a three day charter, and we came home with our limits of springs, halibut and rock cod, and a few bonus coho salmon as well. "Spring" is what they call chinooks. I had booked those specific dates because that in most years is when the biggest springs of the year are caught. BUT this year all of the salmon runs were about three weeks late. The biggest salmon were in the 20 pound range. Biggest halibut was 65 or 70 pounds; biggest rock cod was over 30 pounds. ANYWAYS, I had two big fillets left and decided to can them. Pics show one flllet whole, in chunks, and in the jars. Two big fillets gave me 13 jars and I cooked the two tail pieces that night for supper. Very toothsome. Doug
