PA 12 Trolling Motor setup
 
4 Attachment(s)
Hey All,
Just finished my Watersnake T24 trolling motor project. This should extend my range considerably and save my knees. Its small enough to fit under the seat
so when I get to my spot I'll switch out to the peddle drive and save battery
for return trip. I shortened the shaft about 11" so it sits nice and low. I built a battery tray that fits behind my seat (50 AH AGM). With the battery in place I have to raise the seat to the upper position. I have always used the seat in the low position and hope I don't lessen stability up high. Hope to try it out this weekend. Still going to mount a plug/recept on the front bulkhead for easy power hookup.

Hey cell128,
Motor pulls 20 amps at full speed with a 50 Amp Hour battery, should go 2.5 hrs @ full speed. I'm figuring 5 to 6 hrs at trolling speed. A far as actual speed
I dont know? Hopefully find out this weekend. My Dragonfly FF will let me know. Got to get it registered first :mad: unfortunately, going to stop by AAA.
