1. How/where is your boat going to be used???? Reason I asked that, I bought a MinnKota 55, 12 volt...thinking that would be enough for my small jet boat. Did great as far as centering boat in river BUT IF I WANTED to pull plugs....not good, so now have Yamaha 8 HP smile

2. Please don't count on your motor to keep battery charged....if might but then it might not......nothing worse than the click, click, click of a battery to low on charge to start big motor.

Reason I now have 2 batteries and a Perko swithch.

Buy the biggest battery you can buy......with batteries and electric motors.....big is better.

Good luck!!!!!!!
