Trolling and fish finder battery

[fish_hntr]

[quote Hey_Bassman]I have a pontoon similar to yours. I have a 30# thrust motor (which is totally sufficient) with a walmart battery that is a 29DC series marine battery (It's huge!). I run it on my toon and to power my big boat trolling motor. I'm going on 4 years with this battery and have only taken moderate care of it. I strictly troll, so it is running the whole time and I get 4 hours out of it, with enough juice to get back with a little wind. I have also loaded down my toon with all the tube dude special pole holders and fish finders and I built a PVC rack in front of me to hold the motor in front so I can steer better and I bring everything I think I could ever need, plus, I'm a big guy. No problems handling the weight in 4 years. Being on the pontoon is my happy place and my only regret is that I didn't find it sooner. Enjoy!

P.S. I just found out from this thread that the trouble I've been having with my fish finder may be coming from not having a separate battery. That is why this site is so amazing![/quote]
