Antique Minn-Kota 6/12 volt wiring diagram

[Randy White, Sr]

Seeking wiring diagram for this believed to be 50’s vintage 6/12 volt Minn-Kota trolling motor.  Data plate is badly corroded and can’t get specific model number…maybe a “Troller” model based on pics I’ve located.  Particularly interested in how it’s switched from 6 to 12 volts.   It was given to my younger son by a 90 year old man who’d had it for decades but didn’t know much about it.  TIA!

If you can’t find help here, I suggest one of the Facebook
antique electric motor forums. They’ve helped me
in the past on electric motors.

Prepare to be boarded!

Do we know the manufacturer/model of the motor itself?

This is a first model MinnKota which was first offered in 1934. The motor does not switch from 6 to 12 volts, it just ran on which ever battery you connected to the leeds. The wires are probably still inside the motor, they might need to be replaced. Let me know how it turns out.
