Battery size help!!

[mikeredding]

I am going to get a new deep cycle battery for my boat but am unsure of what size. I have a Minn Kota 30 LB. Endura model trolling motor and would like to be able to run it all day if needed. I am unsure the draw from the motor but it appears to be 30 amp max.

Anyone have any idea what size battery I need? I see there are several to choose from and I want to make sure I get one big enough but not so big it will sink my boat!

I went and bought a MAXX 29 with 125 Amp Hours and 205 Minutes reserve capacity. According to the formula used by Minn Kota I should be able to get just under 9 hours with my Endura 30 on 2nd speed.

I have this exact motor for trolling, and i have that exact battery for a 12 foot mirrocraft. works all day.

Thanks. I took it out on Dexter today and ran the snot out of it. Seemed to hold up well even though I had to run the motor on 5 the whole time. Maybe my boat is too heavy.
