[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 284546, member: 1055"] I have a 14' with a 30pound trust MinnKota run off a single battery, also transom mounted. Been a few times where it was my only source of power, other than a paddle. I dont know the lake your going to fish, so take this with a grain of salt. I have practically drained my trolling motor battery a couple of times. Once I almost didnt make it back to the dock, and had to hand load the boat onto the trailer. By hand load, I mean using my rope and pulled it up on the trailer. Had it been more than a 10mph wind, I wouldn't have made it back. Moral being, plan your day and where you go fishing carefully, especially on windy days. I do carry a paddle as my third source of power. I highly recommend a paddle and a few phone numbers of others with a boat, just in case. 8) [/QUOTE]
