just bought a new Yamaha t9.9 elec start/remote,T&T
to use as a trolling motor on a pontoon. Spec says it puts out 6 amps wot. I would like to use its battery to run some accesories and a Cannon mag ten electric downrigger. It will be runing for long periods at slow trolling speeds, not wot, while we are using the downrigger. Can I connect one high capacity deep cycle battery to this motor and will its alternator keep it charged?? Accesories will be a small fishfinder and a marine band radio, nothing heavy. Spec on the downrigger only say 25amp max at 12 volts but its short duration spotty use only and only when the trolling motor is running. The boat, a landou20 ft originally used the same Battery to start the main engine,run the accesories and a plug up front for a trolling motor, but the main motor is a 55 hp Suzuki. Bigger alternator. Will the yammy do it or do I need a seperate bat for the downrigger. Thanks in advance.
