Yes but ONLY if you put a resistor in the power cable or else you will burn the motor out.
If you do the opposite like put a 6 volt battery onto a 12 v motor it will work but at half power and you'll probably damage the battery.

Only if the specifications for the trolling motor allow it.
Most likely they don't. You can get some speed this way but the motor will probably run much hotter than it is rated for and eventually burn up the motor. Then again, it may not take very long at all to burn it up.
Even if the specs allow it, it is more rapid wear on the motor.

No, do not do that, the circuitry in the motor is only designed for 12 volts. It will run for a while, faster than ever, until the bushings are melted. Just get a 12 volt.

The motor will burn out as the coil wires are not designed for that voltage. It will spin faster but the current drain will be far too high.!!!

It's allright if you want the motor to go very fast for a very short period of time.

where did you get a 24volt battery at? they are very rare, and no it is not ok.

No, you'll burn out the motor.
