I ordered a 80lb minkota do i need to run 2wires to my batteries or for some odd reason will i need 3. Trolling motor plug has 3 wires

On my MG there are two 6g. wires and the plug is a 3 plug single gang twist lock.  The jump is done at the batteries to make 24V.

I have an 80# Fortrex-same thing. Two is all you need.

Just make sure you wire the wires and the jumper right when connecting the batteries. It should be wired a positive from one battery running to the TM, on the same battery run the negative to the positive on the second battery and the negative on that battery runs to the TM. Hope that helps.

Thanks I completely understand the differ in series and parallel circuitry
