    Rhodan, Garmin or Minn Kota? What size Trolling Motor for my Trophy Pro?

    I used 1 36 volt battery. So far so good. I use the charger that came with it and just charge the battery back up while cleaning the boat up after a trip. I have had zero issues with this setup.I installed a in line battery switch and 50 amp breaker .
