Re: trolling motor amps

mockersonman,<br /><br />It is not easy and simple to answer, many factors could make the amperage draw different between one type of motor and another model, as example MinnKota has an optional device call Maximizer which makes the motor to work on duty cycle (on/off) so it will consume less than a motor without this option. Also the wind, the current speed of the water(knots ?) and the speed of trolling will affect the amperage draw or consumption from the motor. Go to the MinnKota web site and look for the Maximizer, they have a graph which explains better.<br /><br />See you<br /><br />Mario :)
