[QUOTE="airshot, post: 511476, member: 1183"] My Sylvan SC weighs in around My 16' Sylvan weighs in around 1500-1600 lbs with myself and gear. MK 55 lb 12 volt, when trolling for walleye, I use my 2.2 hp gas kicker set straight ahead and use my bow mount electric for steering. Depending on wind and waves my bow motor runs around 4-8 setting on speed control out of 10. Typically around 6 avg. My two big group 31's will last about 8 hrs before a real noticible drop in power. As soon as I get home, the whole boat goes onto chargers for thevtwo trolling vatteries and the house battery. When they peak, they switch to maintenence charge mode. According to the mfg, keeping the batteries full as soon as you can after use makes them last longer and hold a charge longer. Mine are over 4 years old now, so when they go, I will switch the trolling batteries to lifePo4, but in the mean time, the maintenence chargers have given extra life to my batteries. [/QUOTE]
