I suppose the hours you get out of a charge has to do with a lot of different factors. The one time we almost completely ran out of juice on a 24V system was up on Eagle on day 5 of the trip. Could have been the batteries weren't getting fully charged for one reason or another at night (Old batteries, inadequate charger, etc.) or because of how I use a trolling motor.

JRedig, I can't believe you are getting by with a 48" shaft on Mille Lacs! Must be calm out there or you are doing a lot of trolling! My boat is a bass boat and came with a 48" shaft Motor Guide. That thing would pop out of the water in 2' waves with me in the front. I went with a 60" shaft because why not have the extra six inches if you have the room in the bow?

Brad, I agree about the foot pedal. I only use the bottom of it and the speed adjustment anyway. The rest is useless to me.
