What size batteries should I purchase to operate a 24v, 65# thrust transom mount motor?

This transom mount motor is on a 16' pontoon boat, and is the primary source of propulsion. It's a Minn Kota, but I'm not sure of the year. I'm also thinking about using a solar panel for charging during the week, perhaps in conjunction with a marine charger while at dock.


Minimum of two group 29's, wired in series.

Can a trolling motor configuration be changed?

Can you change a transom mounted trolling motor to a bow mount configuration by rotating the control head or the motor assembly 180 degrees?? This will be on a pontoon boat so the mounting bracket will work fine.

Electric Trolling motor, mounted to the transom/stern. Link below gives one a good idea of a lot of things when it comes ta' Pontoons. What with you gettin' it from Cabela's it might be a good idea to contact them and get it straight from the horse's mouth ie., trolling motors shaft length, what lb., thrust (power of motor) etc., specifically suited for your needs. A friend has one (pontoon) and he swears by it ~ river fisherman. Ah' no troller though;) (ain't seen nobody the can work oars in whitewater like he does). Good luck and "Pontoooonin' On" ;)...
