The idea behind the 12, 24, 36 volt system is power. You should have a switch that says 12 on one side and 24 on the other. The idea is 12 volt draws form only one of the batteries, and the 24 draws from bolth. You dont have to run on a 24 volt system. I have bolth 12 and 24 capability but only use the 12. Or in other words, only hook up to one battery. I just havent needed the extra battery. If you spend lots of time and long days on your motor, you will want to use two batteries. It depends alot on your boats layout to determine how to rig it up. If you can get two batteries in the front end, or if they are all in the rear, Kind of hard to say from here. The motor should have come with a diagram showing you how to hook up the wires. Basically its up to you how you want to rig it.
