I was wondering if anyone has ever used all of the juice in their trolling motor battery and then disconnected their trolling motor battery and also disconnected their outboard battery and used jumper cables to power the trolling motor from the outboard battery or if you can even do that ? Do most of you carry jumper cables ?
My concern is being out on a electric only lake and my trolling battery dies can I switch out batteries assuming both are 12 volts and can I use the jumper cables to connect the trolling motor to the outboard battery. One battery is one side of the boat and one battery is on the other side of the boat so my idea was to use jumper cables to bridge the gap. Guess I could physically switch them but they are a little difficult to get out.
