Re: Dual pro charger question
I have never seen a dual pro cycle like that and have had them since my first boat. I would check and see if you have a loose wire on the boat plug, could be loosing the electrical connection and starting the sequence over.

there is no need for that switch if your TM is 24v, just connect directly to the cables coming from TM battery circuit breaker, or if you have plug at the bow you cannot those cables to the plug. maybe they had something else connected to those cables that needed 12v but ur batteries should be conne...

Re: 24 volt to 36 volt
its hard to see the gauge of the wire at the circuit breaker near the batteries, so open the bow where the TM is wired into the plug or hard wired and look at the wire. I would assume most boat manufacturers uses at least 6 gauge for 24 volts so if that's the case you would be fine at 36 volts. if i...

the TM batteries should never have anything else connected to them. I ran a 24 for a long time without issue but its always in the back of your mind about cranking at the end of the day...switch to a 27 or 31 cranking with the proper CCA for your motor and as much reserve capacity that you can find.
