Trolling motor expertise

I have a '98 Glastron "Fish and Ski". It has a 24V Min Kota 64lb trolling motor operated through a Dual Phase II on-board battery charger/bat. system interlink (not made any more). I imagine that this is a set-up like found on some Bass Boats. I can only get 12v output to the motor which is only useful if there is no wind. I have tried wiring it direct to 24v but I end up blowing fuses. I am at my wits end trying to figure out if the problem is in the charger, the trolling motor or the connections. I have tried Fays Boat Yard, who seem like good local experts, and they were little help on this issue. I have tried online to find a nearby shop that works on Bass Boats without success.

Does anyone have an idea where to turn for help?
