I'm thinking most of the time I'll be running at 12-15 amps per motor since cruise will get me an estimated 3.5-4 mph VS full power (42 amps) giving me 5.5-6. Whatever battery I end up with it will hopefully go in a watertight repurposed cooler to protect it from water and temperatures since as...

It's a 1959 :)

Being the marine forum I thought I'd run this by you all. I picked up this aluminum runabout last week. What I plan on doing is running 2 Minn Kota 40lb trolling motors with solar and lithium iron batteries (the Evinrude is coming off). Being that the Minn Kota's run at 42 amps a piece at max...

This is the boat I picked up, $675 with a new 40lb trolling motor thrown in. My idea is to buy another 40lb trolling motor and then run dual motors off the transom. Now to find a battery that can handle the amperage draw (84 amps total/42 amps a piece at max draw).

Thanks for the replies, I am sure I will need a battery. I think at first I'll see what a 100ah battery along with the solar cells will do, I figure at worse I'll have to monitor the battery to cut short trips if need be (although I'll just be cruising so it should not be a biggie).

Hi, first post on the boards. I've done a search of the forum and read up on solar boating questions asked but I do have specific questions to a project I'd like to start. I've been watching Will Prowse's videos on youtube for some time now with an interesting in building a solar powered...
