Battery recommendation for trolling motor on dinghy

Adagio #573 #30633 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

Both are light enough to carry to and from the water, and it is super easy to mount and remove. I was even able to use it to push my 30’ sailboat in slack water.? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jul 21, 2020, at 03:39, Adagio #573 via groups.io <awsmits@...> wrote: ?Hi, this is my first post, but I enjoy reading your discussions about electric propulsion.
