Electric Motor on Pontoon, Questions

[Fishhound]

I have a #30 Minn Kota. That's probably all you will need. With mine and my basic deep cycle battery(A Trojan SCS150, this will be it's 5th). Last year, I could troll all day (even for wipers) on my pontoon. I could also use it almost all day on my 16 foot aluminum boat - but it wouldn't maintain the same speed as it did on my toon. I expect I will have to retire the battery one of these days and invest in a new one. Although, I have had great service from the Trojan, I will look at some of the newer ones before I buy another.

I am not sure how much difference there is in the batteries themselves, but a little reseach might be a good idea for you.

Actually, TubeDude's battery sounds like a good deal, you should really check it out.
