Trolling motor question
wrote:
I am going to a lake house and the owner is letting me borrow an 11' 2
man bass boat. It is rated for a 5HP max gas, but I have access to a
17 lb thrust electric. ( Boat has no motor now.) I will only be using
it in a cove of the lake. Never used an electric, so would this be
enough power to get around and could I use a car battery instead of a
deep cycle one? I don't plan on using the motor all the time and would
charge it up when not in use. Thanks.
That small size trolling motor will run for 12 hours or more on a
regular car battery if the battery is in good shape
