HOWDY FISHING GUYS...
I am preparing to purchase a transom mounted trolling motor for my 10ft. porta bote. Any suggestions for brand name and which battery should I buy to power it? Deep cranking or what?? No more than two people plus gear in the boat. How much thrust do I need??

a 36lb thrust 12V trolling motor will push that thing along just fine. A 48lb thrust will make that thing a lot faster. It all depends on what you want out of it. As far as batteries, use a deep cycle trolling motor battery, not a cranking battery, be sure when you get it you buy it from a place that knows the difference.
