The proper way to wire two 12 volt batteries to make 24 volts is get a short cable long enough to go from the neg side of battery 1 to the pos side of battery 2 . Then connect the neg wire from the trolling motor to the neg side of battery 2 and connect the positive wire to the positive side of battery 1.

connect your batteries in parallel, i.e + to +, - to -.
this will give you 12V across them, and let you run for longer(twice current available)
you have it set up in series, + to -, this will kill your motor very soon,
hope this helps
