We live at the lake, so the boat is in front of the house (about 100
feet). I believe the trolling motor is a Minnekota Endura. I'll have
to check their web site for specs.

Thanks for your replies. I wind generator - how clever is that??


Sounds exactly like the setup at a lodge where I stay each summer. 100-ish
feet from back door to the dock. I'm asking because "lightweight" and "the
battery that will do the best job" might be mutually exclusive concepts,
depending on HOW LONG (in hours) you expect to be cruising with your
trolling motor. So, the solution is to buy a typical, big and heavy
battery, and roll out an extension cord to the boat when necessary, with a
charge on the end of it.


Ooops: chargER on the end of it.
