I am buying an transom mount electric trolling motor. I pretty much have the one picked out that I want. It is the Minn-kota vector with the 3x steering and you can turn the head 180 degrees with the push of a pin for back trolling or fwd trolling.
My question is this.
The max lb thrust for a 12 volt is 55lbs. They have a 65lb and 74lb thrust that only operates on 24 volts. I currently only have one battery.
Would you reccommend going to the higher pounds and hooking up another battery? I have a 17 foot Lund and I fish the big lakes. Vermillion, Gull and Mille Lacs.

How do you wire the batteries?
Thanks,
