Run a 36V trolling motor from a 12V battery
How it works
Most boats run their sounder, lights, pumps and electronics from a 12V house bank. A 36V trolling motor usually needs a bank of its own: three 12V batteries wired in series, or a dedicated 36V battery, each with its own charging.
The converter connects to the 12V house bank and supplies 36V to the trolling motor. Everything else on the boat stays on 12V.
Why use a converter
You charge one bank with one charging setup, and you don't need to find room for a separate 36V bank. If you'd rather run a dedicated 36V bank, our 36V trolling motor battery guide covers series-wired 12V batteries and the 36V 150Ah CAN Bus battery.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run a 36V trolling motor from a 12V battery?
Yes, with a 12V to 36V converter. The converter connects to your 12V house bank and supplies 36V to the trolling motor, so the rest of the boat stays on 12V.
How many amps does the converter deliver?
60A on the 36V output side.
Do I need a separate 36V battery bank?
No. The motor runs from your 12V house bank through the converter, so you have one bank and one charging setup to look after.
Who should install the converter?
Installation should be carried out by a licensed electrician.
