[QUOTE="Zum, post: 96867, member: 349"] What size trolling motor do you have? I looked at your battery,thinking it has 115AH? It not really trial and error,a 12volt TM draws about 1amp per lbs. of thrust,at wide open throttle.If your planning on going acouple hours away,then fish and then acouple hours back,I'd be thinking of another battery,even without the accessories...I hate rowing jon boats. Say your TM is a 40lbs thrust,your only going to get 2.875(probably closer to 2.5) hours of run time at wide open.You will get alot more run time if you don't have to run wide open. Led lights are more likely to be brighter then bulbs and draw less power. [/QUOTE]
