[QUOTE="gajet31, post: 347790, member: 3832"] I posted a question on the electrical forum about trolling motor voltage. I am currently running a 12 volt 55 lb thrust trolling motor on my 16 ft jet. To keep it simple, I am not getting enough power out of this motor to keep up with the river current in areas that I fish. I would like to upgrade to a larger lb thrust trolling motor but cannot justify the added weight of moving to a 24 volt system to power a larger trolling motor. My current rig is very sensitive to weight and adding another battery is simply not an option. What size trolling motors are y'all running on your rigs? Does anyone else have this issue? Has anyone found a work around to get a larger size trolling motor that runs off a 24 volt system without adding the weight of a second battery? [/QUOTE]
