I purchased a Minn Kota 36v Trolling motor for use in the Bay and Ocean and have a few questions from the experts here.
The motor peaks at 50a and will average between 5 to 25a when in use. I figure 60-100ah should be good. I would expect 4-8 hours actual use per day when fishing
1. Since the battery will be in a marine environment and will defiantly be in a rough environment I need a good brand recommendation at the best price point.
2. Since its not used in the winter, cold charging should not be an issue. But since summer charging is a must , is a temp sensor required ?
3. Is bluetooth worth it?
4. Any other recommendations or info?
