how long will it run a trolling motor

Here is your answer: until the battery is dead..... You really can't expect someone to answer this question without more info, what trolling motor, what load, etc etc, look at the YellowTops instead it's a better battery for your application

It will run it until the charge is depleted. This Optima Battery has a capacity of 55 Ah(amp hours) with a reserve capacity of 120 minutes. If your trolling motor uses a 55 amp motor, it will last 1 approximately 1 hour at full thrust.

This is 24V trolling motor. You can run it on a 12V setup but I would expect that it will drain faster--even on a dual. If you have a dual battery setup, why not just rewire for 24V. The trolling motor is great.

5 watts is about .007 horsepower, so it is not going to offset the drain of a trolling motor. It might run a small water fountain pump, to give an idea of how much water you could push with it. I use it on a farm use truck that is not used often enough to keep the battery charged. It is a lot better in that role than one of the cheap "battery maintainer" panels you might see in the stores.

I've only rowed it, but I can row it about 40 mph. So - my serious answer is I don't know how fast a trolling will run this.

Yes, according to the manufacturer, though I haven't done so yet. There is a small flat area on the inside of the right-rear compartment that is meant to be used to attach a trolling motor. Drawback would appear to be the need to sit facing backwards in order to control a simple trolling motor. Also, so far as I can tell, the battery would need to sit unsecured on the floor of the boat. I wasn't aware of the mount mentioned by M. Evans but may look into it to see if it makes mounting a motor easier.

I purchased the battery for it's light weight. It has performed great on our jon boat. We use the boat in small lakes and canals for fishing with a minnkota trolling motor. We have fished for over 4 hours of fishing with the motor being used intermittently most of the time, but, continuously on runs back to the dock or out to the fishing spot of the day. We have never run the battery down. It has performed better than ever expected. The trolling motor is 5 speed around 50 lb thrust. Boat is loaded with small cooler and 2 people of 175 lb each with fishing gear for bass.

No this would not work for even the smallest of electric trolling motors. Not enough stored energy.

I haven't used it on that motor.. But this is a very simple ground switch and it is rated for 24v. The wires it is made with are very heavy duty. It will work on any trolling motor if installed properly.

Yes, but it would have to be a trolling motor with the battery in the storage compartment and steered by the trolling motor.

Yes my son uses a trolling motor on his. Be aware that several things are needed to use a motor.

I use it on a electric walking golf cart. Runs for two rounds without recharging. It is actually a wheelchair battery. Don't know about a trolling motor, seems like a lot more power requirement

Oh yes definitely. I've trolled all day and barely used any battery. Your definitely getting your money's worth with this motor. Pulls my 12ft upriver with ease.

Could'nt tell you, because I used mine on a 16.5 ft bass boat. 48 inches works fine for me. Suggest you measure from about 6 inches below the water line to the top of the deck you are going to mount the trolling motor an add a few inches. Hope this helps.

The motor has a life span of 3000 hiurs. Kind of like a boat motor. You would have to run it a very long time to reach 3000 hours....

Yes,I believe that small a motor would be no problem. Just keep in mind that there is no rudder board, or anything that could control speed/direction beyond a trolling action.
