Location: Not where I wanna be! | you should be getting more life out of your batteries than what you mentioned.
I run a 24V system on a 65 lbs Minn Kota, it pushes a 16' alluminum boat around fast enough to pull a skiier....  But i can use it in a windy day to fish banks and adjust to the wind.... for two full days..... now that doesnt mean i run the trolling motor at full tilt the whole time, but it should last at least a full day before needing charged.
Judging on your post, id say its time for a new battery system.... also, if you run on 24V/two battery system, id recommend getting an On-Board charger that will equally charge both batts at the same time. using uneven batteries in Tandem will decrease their life significantly. |
