So my question is...will switching it over to 24 volt give me more thrust??

no
So what's the point of it being 12/24 volt then?

So the motor is probably shot then?

I had a buddy who lost a few speeds on his trolling motor because he was constantly going through vegetation and hitting bottom. Maybe you striped a gear.

Do electric trolling motors have gears?
