What battery do you guys use for you electric trolling motors. I have a 50 lb. trust and want to buy a new battery. I read some recent posts on this topic but would like more info. I am not using this battery to start my boat just run my foot operated electric motor. Thanks for looking.

you want a good deep cycle (not cranking) one with good reserve capacity (rc). interstate srm-27b or srm-29 are very good for the price and available at most RV dealers or the local interstate distributor.

no prob, by the way the lower the voltage motor (i assume yours is 12 volt) will use more current per lb of thrust than higher voltage ones will. in other words a 12v needs more juice to make 50lb than a 24v to make 100lb. thus one 12v will not last as long as 2 in 24v mode using the same type of battery during an outing. so the larger battery the better :yes:
