Any recommendations on a voltmeter to install in the bow panel in order to monitor the TM batteries? I would need one for a 2 bank / 24v system.
Thank you.

I have a 36v TM. Hard wired it for power so had the old round TM plug unused in the panel. Replaced it with a round LED VM I got online. Perfect fit. Put a switch in the panel so I can turn on to check and then turn off.
here are a few options from Dual Pro, I sale these in single 24v or a 24v/12

if they were going to sit for months and charger bot plugged in I would but they designed them to monitor the state of charge while on the charger at home with the app
if you connect it to the trolling motor wires at the bow it would be off when the trolling motor disconnect switch is off, assuming you have one
here is another option , dont know how well they hold up to outside conditions, I have a few of these I use around the shop

I have the dual pro one for my cranking batteries. It works very well and has an app that tells you the exact voltage the battery is at. Yesterday I measured my cranking battery at 12.97 volts with a fluke meter and on the app it said 12.97 volts as well.

Get one with a shunt and A-monitoring if you charge your bank as one. Knowing voltage is better than knowing nothing, but knowing amps going in and out of the batterybank is major advantage over just voltage.
Using a voltagemeter on a battery with a BMS (like lifepo4) is close to useless.

I put a toggle with a blue seas voltmeter on the bow for cranking/electonics and trolling motor since I do a good bit of electric only lakes. A little pricy but nice little gauges.
