Just for your information, my "trolling motor battery compartment" is for only 2 batteries, I solved that by installing my 3 bank charger in there along with one battery, then one battery under each console in those storage areas. Just have to decide if your going to want to troll for a long time and expect the 24v batteries to be fully charged the next day to do it again. If you run the batteries down real low, it takes more than 8 hrs to get them fully charged back up. The 36v 101 60 inch shaft is real heavy, that might be another concern compared to the 24v. In all the years I've run a 36v, I've never ran the batteries down and that includes doing the tourney's I used to do. I always ran out of power when I used 24v doing tourney's.
