Trolling Help

Kent said it, but it's worth repeating. Get a second battery for the trolling motor. deep cycle batteries are desingned differently than starting batteries. Starting batteries are designed to put out a lot of amps for a short amount of time and trolling batteries are designed to put out a small amount of amperage over a long period of time. This is secondary to the safety issue, you absolutely do not want to constantly run the risk of being caught out in a storm with a dead battery. Your life isn't worth $60 at Wal Mart. I don't even run my fish finder and GPS off of my starting battery and I carry a set of jumper cables just in case.
