I recently bought a Minn Kota C2 30 that I am going to use on my Esquif Mallard XL square stern canoe for fishing. I will be using it on a lake and will be using it to get there and back not for a lot of actual trolling. I’m looking for a battery recommendation. Not seeing a lot for this application. Would also appreciate thoughts on battery boxes and battery placement.
50-60 ah 12v LFP would be ideal. The big name brands will be about $400 or there’s dozens of off-brand options for <$200. I’m not endorsing the off-brands by any means but check youtube for testing and teardown videos.
I just use a group 24 lead acid battery. Works fine for getting around small lakes and electric motor only bodies of water.
On a side note in Wisconsin if you power a canoe with any kind of motor it needs to be registered.
