JellyMan Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 It is going on a 2 person canoe. Everstart deepcycle battery ($58.00 one) Minn Kota Endura 30lb thrust. It is about a 10 min ride ide say with trolling motor on 5 to the spot. once there, I will be using very minimal power. Then 10 min ride back. You think I can stay out all day with that? How long do you think it will go for on full power? Thanks for your help! Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I have the biggest everstart marine battery from walmart with a 46lb thrust endura trolling motor and can stay out for at least 5 hours. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I would think all day. You can buy a battery tester for around $10. Take one with you next time you to make sure you enough power to make it back. Quote
VA-Cal Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I've been using a MK30 and a group 24 (I think) Deep Cycle Marine battery on my Bass Raider 8E (usually there's 2 of us at +/_ 230# each), and I can troll on "1" or "2" pretty much all day, depending on how much "2" I use! Cal Quote
Zum Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Not sure how many Ah that battery is? Lets say it's 90Ah;your 30lbs TM at full throttle will draw around 30amp. The math 90/30=gives you around 3 hours(less really)at full throttle. Depends what all day is to you,how long at full throttle and how long not. It might:)bring paddles just in case. Alot of people don't discharge their batteries below 75%. Quote
