Default Re: Trolling motor help/info

I know when you guys read this you may say this is nuts but it works for me
I have a 14 foot jon boat and wanted to replace 12v deep cycle battery and was switching to a 12v gel battery Since not a lot of room in boat wanted to conserve space. I'm not a tech person understanding amps etc but I wound up getting 2 12v gel batteries that are meant for a motorized wheelchair I paid abt 70 for each so I got 2 batteries basically for the price of the normal sized gel deep cycle Also should mention wheelchair batteries are deep cycle . Hey, people in motorized wheel chairs are on the move quite often Anyway I use one in the stern for the 55lb transom motor and I have one for the 45lb motor in the bow. I use the stern to go out and in and the bow mount to move around all day I have never used all power in both batteries in one day Like I said it works for me and happy with results
