[cool][#0000ff]If you have your trolling motor manual it will tell you how many amps it sucks on high speed.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The formula for amphours to weight ration is batteries are about 65% in pounds of what their amp hour rating is...a 65 pound battery will be about 100 amp hours. Some variation by battery type, age, previous use, etc.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]My motor is rated at 30 amps per hour consumption at high speed. That would be a little over 3 hours on a 100 AH battery. If you trolled on the way, at lower speed, you would not use as much juice getting there and back.[/#0000ff]
