[QUOTE="PartsMan, post: 174555, member: 4318"] Reliability through redundancy. Having your trolling motor and main power use separate batteries gives you the security of running one even if the other is dead. Run your trolling battery down and you still have lights and electric start. Run down your cranking battery trying to start your failed motor and the trolling motor still works. You also have the ability to swap them or use them to jump each other if need be. The down sides are the added weight and maintenance. [/QUOTE]
