Hi, this is my first post, but I enjoy reading your discussions about electric propulsion. I am looking for a recommendation on trolling motor power. I have a 10¡¯ dinghy that eventually I will power with a Torqeedo outboard, but for now, a much more affordable trolling motor will have to do. I am looking at a 24V motor, requiring up to 50A maximum. I will be doing short trips (less than 1 hr), and I want to keep the battery weight to a minimum, as I lift my dinghy onto stern davits.
Any recommendations on a 24V battery or pair of 12V batteries in series that fit my needs?
Thanks,
Allan
