[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 519436, member: 31103"] I agree that a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery seems like your best bet. Prices have come way down, so that's good for you. I have two batteries: a small AGM Group 24 that is dedicated to the outboard; the other is a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery I bought from Amazon. I use that LiFePO4 battery for the trolling motor and all of my accessories, including the fish finder. I have not had issue with electrical interference as FuzzyGrub mentions, but I have heard of that happening to others. Maybe it happens more with certain models of TMs. As regards TM with Spotlock, there are a couple of ways to get that feature. First, obviously, just buy new or used already equipped that way. Second is to have a suitable TM and retrofit it with a unit like a ProNav controller. That's what I have. I already had my 55# Powerdrive and retrofitted ProNav to it. It works reasonably well. ProNav controllers require an electronically-controlled TM, so you can't just retro-fit it to your mechanically-controlled TM. [/QUOTE]
