[Shop-talk] Electrical question

[Battmain]

Runs faster and wonderful, until you smell something burning. If you let
it
continue, you see wisps of smoke and that's usually when the OS 
factor kicks
in.  ;p

BTDT with a hair dryer on 220v abroad.  Yes, I knew better, but you
just have
to try these things, ya know.  What if...   :)   I can tell you that
thing 
screamed
and put out some serious air, and! it still works.

As for
guesstimates...it works until you melt something.   Be sure to have a
fire
extinguisher handy while you're showing a finger to the safety nuts.

I know some of you guys have good electrical backgrounds...

Any
guesstimates on how quickly a 12 volt trolling motor be fried if operated
somewhat judiciously at 24 volts?

Thanks,
