Electric trolling motor

[Cougar]

I was on E-Bay bidding on 50lb. minn kota 100.00 plus 30.00shipping not bad. Then I checked Wal Mart 199.00 for the same one, so I'll go with the new one for 60.00 more and if it doesn't work I can take it back.

Hi cougar; Just a couple questions.
What kind of speed and length of operation can you expect from this unit? Is there some past experience with these on you amphib? What type of battery are you using or plan to utilize for this?

I have one(Trolling motor) on my 87 Bomber. I never ran the battery down but then again i am not the avid fisherman that most are.

Thanks
Lewis

Iam new to this, this we be my first time. I have a big old deep cycle battery I going to put in the back. I have a conquest 8X8 so I hope the battery and motor will level it out. Cougar

If I remember right a guy at a battery store told me a Optima battery cant exept a fast charge it will kill them they are considerd a deep cycle and a fast charg will kill them faster than a slow charge. like i said im not 100% positive on this.

I have been running optima batteries for quite some time now! I have charged them fast at 75A with no trouble! Be careful of the auto parts store guys. They rarely know as much as they think! I used all different kinds of batteries when I worked installing stereo's, and optima is by far the toughest. They will take a beating like nothing else.
