If you decide to add a selector switch to parallel one of your trolling motors, one important caution.

Make sure that the trolling battery selected is on the "bottom" of the series string, in other words in a 24V series string, this must be the "0-12V" unit, not the "12-24V" unit. Otherwise you can end up with some seriously farkled ground issues, with the possibility of putting a dead-short across one or the other battery and a resulting explosion.
