how long do you get out of a trolling motor , a few hours at best?
I run a 24 volt 70 lb powerdrive on an Alumacraft Navigator 165 and have never had them go dead or even low in a full day of fishing unless the batteries are old and nearing the end of their life cycle.
When they are good, I think I could fish pretty hard for 2 days in a row with no fear of dead batteries. I just use 27 series Napa deep cell batteries.
With that said, most lakes I fish are about 1,000 acres in size and I probably don't fight wind all day as much as people that fish the great lakes or Mille Lacs. |
