Re: Trolling motor, and JUMPER CABLES?!?
A light weight battery for a kayak is for instruments. Not the power suck of an electric motor. Look at Amp-hour rating and you'll see a staggering difference.
The battery CCA ( Cold Cranking Amps ) is little to no value in an electric motor as there is NO STARTER so no large 50-60 Amp surge. It's simply a steady amp load.
And frankly 48 pounds of thrust is not all that much to push close to a 1000 pounds of boat around ( with 2 people & gear on board). Don't set speed expectations too high.
You can get a multi-meter ( Vdc. Vac, Resistance) for $25 or less. A great tool to have.
