Sweeeeeeeeeeet...................... This thread is awesome. Yesterday was the first time my uncle and I tried pulling cranks and we did pretty good considering we just started out by buying a handful of bandits at basspro. Got a 14"er. Anyways, we only pulled for about 3 hours or so but was curious about something. I have the minkota terrova 12volt with i-pilot which worked great but how long will a good fully charged battery last me pulling at say 4.5-5 power???? Second question is would it be better to rig up 2 batteries in parallel to have twice the time or would it just be best to put another battery in the boat and when 1 battery gets low just switch it over???
