Well ... up here in the woods :-), you backpack your canoe, trolling motor,
solar charger etc into the lake ... and basically trickle charge the battery
when it's not in use, while drinking beer and so on ... it's the only way.
Maybe your only way will be to carry a dozen batteries or so to get you
through the day.

Since I'm new to the field of solar energy I've got a few questions:

We have a boat which is propulsed by an electric outboard. Of course
after a few hours the battery starts getting flat.
The idea is to mount some solar panels on the boat, but I have no idea
how many or what equipment to use.

My questions a

-- How many and which solar panels do I use?
-- What kind of a battery charger do I need?
-- What other equipment do I need?

The motor is a 12 V Motorguide outboard

Looking forward to seeing some answers.

Thanks
