Two six volts in parallel still only gives you six volts. If you are trying to run your 12 volt motor at a slower speed with a longer run time, then this is the way to go, but it you want the motor to run on 12 volts, you will have to connect your batteries in series. Shorter run time!

If you want any sort of speed check out this setup

Uses the 51" Perkasa hull, single motor like these in your smaller hull will work well
