I'm thinking about adding a trolling motor to my boat but I dont want
multiple batteries. I have ENOUGH batteries to take care of around here as
it is.

My motor requires 360 CCA, the 50# trolling motor I want requires 47 amps
(max draw). I doubt I would ever use the trolling motor more than 2 hours
at a time and most likely would have the outboard running off and on during
that time. I am thinking I will buy the biggest deep cycle/starting battery
I can find and just use it.

The trolling motor has a built in battery guage so running the battery down
too far to start the motor shouldnt be a problem. Anyone else out there
doing this?

Thanks.
