[#0000ff]You can use anything from a 24# motor to a 45#. I know of tubers who have all used them. I use a simple economical Minnkota Endura 30...with a 30# thrust and a 30" shaft. Works just fine.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I use a big series 27 AGM battery. But for "average" fishing you can get by with smaller series 24 batteries that weigh somewhat less. I even used a small 33 amp/hour wheel chair battery for a while and got good performance on minimal use trips.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Pa has been through the same series of batteries. Not sure what he is using right now.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Waljustia is using a series 24 battery on his tube and he used it a lot yesterday...and it was still runnin' fine when we hit the beach.[/#0000ff]
