8 aluminum boat
Trolling all day. What size battery is needed? Help!?
Hi, I just bought a 12v Minnkota Traxxis 40, 40lb thrust trolling motor for my 12 foot deep V aluminum boat. I am looking for a battery that will run constantly, for 8 -12 hours at medium speeds. I will have about 800lb in the boat when full. What size battery is needed? How do I calculate the the power usage of the motor?
I have a 40 lb thrust motor guide on a 16 foot aluminum bass rig. I use the most powerful deep cycle battery that Wal-mart has. I can fish for 10 hrs or better. But you can't hold it down all day. You need to run it on slower speeds and take advantage of the wind.Put the wind at your back and just hit the trolling motor to correct the steering to insure your battery will last all day. You can fish with it all day, but you can't hold it down, put it in high and use it for transportation. If you do that, have another battery in the boat with you for the trip back.But by using the trolling motor wisely it will last you all day.. But some advice here. If you get a cheaper battery with less power it may last half a day. It's best not to go that route.

Build a flat bottom frame with the popsicle sticks and toothpicks. Wrap the hull in aluminum foil and seal the edges with glue and candle wax.
You need to displace more than 300 cc of water plus the weight of the boat just to stay afloat. That assumes that the load is perfectly balanced in the boat.
At home you can use 300 dry roasted peanuts or 300 raisins when you try out your boat in the sink or bathtub.
Use lots of glue.
