Another question: What size batteries do you guys run for your 24V trolling motors? What are your experiences with your 24V setups?
I have an "Evinrude" labeled Minn Kota 54# thrust 24V. The only thing that will be running off of it will be the trolling motor. Would two 24 series batteries be enough? Or should I hold out for two 27 series? What kind of battery life could I expect say on a windy day fishing an electric only reservior? I used to have a 40# Minn Kota 12V and ran that on two 27 series batteries in parallel and it lasted me all day. I just don't want to find myself paddling back to the ramp because there is no way to carry two spares for the 24V! :lol:
