This is a starting battery not a heavy duty deep cycle battery. It would work but you should buy the heaven duty deep cycle battery for a longer life...

I would go with the next size up type 27 or better. I bought mine for starting my 25Hp Mercury which then has a alternator and regulator to recharge the battery.

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.

I have the same boat. The 55 lb thrust and a 48" shaft work fine for me. If you are using the remote, you can't use the foot control at the same time. I think the remote is much better than the foot control for all fishing conditions, including tight spots.

any trolling motor should work. all depends on how long you want it to last.

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

Any deep cycle battery will work fine. I use the same one as I use on my trolling motor and don't have any issues.

You got me there Barry, I really couldn't say. I've used mine exclusively for my trolling motor and cant tell you how it would handle the load you need. They are a nice battery for my particular use.

Hi,Yes it should work fine with a trolling motor, HINT; Get a 7AH solar charger to lay next to it so you can extend the trolling time.Then you can plug it in for a good full charge.Very sturdy, very strong, Hope this helps

I really have no idea. I found Minkota to be very helpful. The one I have works great for my application...... Charges for my 24 volt trolling motor

You will need deep cycle or Marine batteries for trolling motors. Unlike Car batteries, deep cycle batteries are designed to be discharged upto 80+% before recharging where as Car (starter) batteries have more cranking amps.

That should work I have a smaller battery for a trolling motor that worked well for me.

When I owned this boat I used a 45 lb. thrust trolling motor, and it pushed it pretty good, but I used it only on a small river. I think a 5 to 8 hp motor would work just fine for this boat if you are going to use it on a larger body of water.

May work for a little while. This battery is meant for smaller applications such as fish finders. A trolling motor needs more amperage, like a lawn mower or car battery.

I put my minn kota on a 25 foot pontoon boat and ran the wire all the way to the back without asking someone what wire to use and it does not work well. I am going to have to go back with 12/2 wire. there is a wire chart somewhere showing what size wire to use according to the amps and the distance. The 55 lbs thrust will be approx 55 amps.

We have a Newport vessels 55 lb motor and the transom mount works fine. Minn-Kota should work out ok.
