It doesn't say anywhere about 12/24 volt ... The foot pedal just has a white dot , white dot with a T in it and white dot with a rabbit in it
I'm thinking you have a 12/24 volt motor. Lots of the older motors were wired that way. They work just fine running of the twelve side. Does it have a switch for 12/24 on head or foot pedal. I would think a straight 24 would run off 12 but not be very efficient. Like G said if it ain't broke and your happy don't fix it.

Another dumb question before I give you maybe wrong info. Check to see if there is a jumper wire from cranking battery to trolling battery. If not and nothing hooked to trolling battery except the 2 wires going to trolling motor,I would say it would be a lot more efficient to have it hooked to 2 batteries in the 24 volt configuration.

I googled Motorguide FW-FB 60 and came up with a 24 volt trolling motor made between 2003 and 2006

I've already ran out an bought another DC btry so hopefully after work (if it don't rain) I can set it up to 24 volt. Thanks for the help everyone!
My guess is that it is a 12v/24v motor. I know some companies made them (might still make them).
and I had to edit this because I was commenting on page 1 of 2..... beat me to the punch!

Maybe the "T" is for Tortoise and the "R" for Hare.
Trolling motor is a small DC motor, will run off 24v, 12v, even 6v, just will not have as much power or hardly any on lower voltage.
