I think you missed the point of my post. The post I mentioned mentioned that
a 24 volt system was twice as much as a 12 volt system. I thought that a
little obvious. But it's no longer funny when this is pointed out.

That is correct. If a trolling motor draws 30 amps at 12v for a certain
thrust, a 24v system will only draw 15 amps for the same amount of thrust.
This is hypothetical. In practice, it will be slightly different. That's
the advantage of a gas dryer using 240 volts rather than 120 volts in that
the amount of current will be half.

So a 24 volt system only needs 12 volts to do the same job as a 12 volt
sytem? Hmmm....
