To get 24 or 36, you need to hook to the same terminals that your trolling motor is hooked to, on separate batteries. You do not need to disconnect them to jump your big motor. It is possible, but it would be an expensive brain fart to try and start with 24 or 36 volts. Get a meter, and test the battery as it sits. Sounds like there is your problem. Swap the motor leads to a good, charged trolling motor battery or another one if available and rule that out. Dont spend $100 having a dealer tell you you need to buy a battery. If that isnt it, it could be dozens of things, and some more help could be needed.
