    ok, looks like going with the 50 amp hour chins battery for trolling motor from amazon unless some tells me i'm an idiot for doing so. It fits under the bow where I want it, can add another if the one is not enough for a few hours fishing. Since i'm not a pro fiher or am building off grid, any...

    forgot before pic. All the wire was just jammed in and battery was loose on the deck. The wiring to the t/t has about an extra 12 feet. I guess when the rigged the boat they thought it might grow up to a 30 foot boat so they left it... I pulled it all out, doubled over on itself, light...

    i'll keep the 6 gal so if I'm doing a multi day trip i can run forever. On our run the other day the boy ran at WOT about 75% of the time and we travelled about 30 miles on the tank so with me driving at a more moderate rpm range i should be able to add a good 30% to that distance if not more...
