Is your kayak trolling motor amp draw constant or does it change with the speed setting? The answer is critical to battery size! I do a test to see how many amps my Newport kayak trolling motor pulls at different speed settings. You can use the result to see what size trolling motor battery you need to make it through a day of fishing.
