    Trolling motor batteries/motor support

    I fish no more than 1/2 day, 6Hrs max. I run group 24
    Optimas. Is there an equivalent for less money,
    $199 @ academy sports. I much prefer a sealed battery

    What is your motor toter or support of choice ??

    I have an 80lb Maxxum and run 27 series Pro-Guide AGM batteries. Love them but gave approx $230/ea in 2016.

    As far as motor support - MotorMate!

    I bought the Sam's Duracell AGM sealed batteries. They are very good batteries and made in the USA. I recommend themmamd would buy them again. They also have a good warranty backed by Sam's Club. Hard to beat.

    I have one of the motor supports that support to the motor bracket. I am finding that I like the old style that supports to the rear trailer bar better.
