I would buy motor cycle or lawn tractor battery that is rated for 20-24 amp hours or above.

I guess that’s pretty simple. Lol. Why didn’t I think of that. Thanks for your help!

why not a tray up front to run trolling motor use one in back for all the rest ?

Just don’t have that much extra room really. It’s a 15’’ 56”” bottom duck boat so room is already pretty tight to begin with.

Had a 1560 xpress duck boat . put tray directly behind front post . Had nothing on it but trolling motor . Will try to find picture of wiring .

I run 2 depth finders, live well pumps, etc off UB12350 deep cycle scooter battery. 35 AH and will last all day!

I have my Helix5 connected to a 18ah battery and it's good for a couple of days. The game feeder batteries are cheap you could get a couple of them, from Walmart or Academy Sports.
