Ranger TM wiring - 12v, 24v, 12/24v

[RangerRic]

My quest to understand Ranger TM wiring - 12-24v:

12/24 volt
Black to #1
Red (12v) to #3
White (24v) to #2
Jumper from #3 to #4
Battery #1: Red wire to pos, Black wire to neg
Battery #2: Orange wire to pos, White wire to neg
12 volt
If 1 battery used:
Black to #1
Red to #3
No Jumper
Battery #1: Red wire to pos, Black wire to neg
If 2 batteries used:
Black to #1
Red to #3
Jumper from #1 to #4
Jumper from #2 to #3
Battery #1: Red wire to pos, Black wire to neg
Battery #2: Orange wire to pos, White wire to neg
24 volt
Black to #1
Red to #2
Jumper from #3 to #4
Battery #1: Red wire to pos, Black wire to neg
Battery #2: Orange wire to pos, White wire to neg

Is this correct?

On the 4 wire system, As long as the batteries are wired correctly to the plug/receptacle, the trolling motor plug will take care of the rest. There is no jumper used at the batteries in a 4 wire system. It's hard to explain the correct wiring since Ranger plugs as a rule are not labeled -- I'll try. The easiest way is to start with the trolling motor plug, casing removed, then plugged in. Now you can see the 4 screws, two of which are connected with a metal jumper. Usually this metal jumper is vertical on the right side when plugged in. With that in mind, all these locations will be given as if looking at the trolling motor plug from the back side. The connections on the receptacle are as follows. Corresponding to the upper left screw is the black wire from battery 1. Going clockwise, the next connection is the ground (white) from battery 2. The bottom right is the positive battery 1 which should be red. The final connection is the lower left which is positive battery 2. This places the jumped connection from the white and the red.
Now, at the plug, the upper left is the trolling motor ground. The upper right (even thought it corresponds to a ground -- remember the jumper to the hot in the plug) is the 12V positive connection. No connection on the lower right and the 24V connection is the lower left. This places the 24V circuit as the black and orange wires.
Hope this help.

Wow - I am not even close. Thank you for the great explanation.
So, if I want a switch to a single battery, 12 volt TM connection:
At battery #1, red to pos, black to neg - leave orange and white unused.
At the plug, leave jumper as is on upper right/lower right,
keep black on upper left and put red on upper right?
