Do you use a 30lb electric? How many hours do you get off of a single

On the 12-footer I use a 40-lb "Maximizer". I don't know how long it would
last at "full throttle" (I suspect maybe 1.5 hrs or so), but at trolling
speeds it runs all day and has lots left. The "Maximizer" cct means it
draws way less at lower throttle settings than conventional motors.

That's with a Group 24 deep-cycle battery.
