[QUOTE="Razorback, post: 211255, member: 6263"] Last year I was only using a 28lb trolling motor on my 14' semi-v. I had a smaller (read that as cheaper) deep cycle battery, 600 amp hours I believe. It usually worked ok, but on windy days it would drain quickly b/c of how bad my light boat drifts. Found myself paddling back to the ramp more than once. I got tired of that and spent the extra $ for a larger battery, 750 amp hours I believe. Now I can fish for 12 hours or more on windy days without the battery showing any signs of being weak. That's also with a new 45lb trolling motor. I'd say go ahead and spend the extra 20 or 30 bucks and get a better battery. [/QUOTE]
