[QUOTE="Butthead, post: 247831, member: 637"] It really depends on how fast that creek water can push you. 15 miles of running is a lot, especially on an old, not-so-efficient, speed coil TM, so if it's only 1mph, then one battery is not going to be enough. I think you're going to need closer to 2mph, and be drift fishing a fair amount of the time, to be safe on one battery. I would bring a paddle, an anchor, and two batteries for your first trip. Drift down stream as much as possible and then use the anchor when you want to stop and fish in a particular area. Use the trolling motor how you want and see how things go. [/QUOTE]
