How long will it last?

Can anyone tell me how long a 75A Deep Cycle Battery would run a 55lb RT Electric motor.

Cheers

how long is a piece of string?
depends how u run it, bit like fuel in a car, if you go flat strap everywhere u go u will use more fuel than if u drive at the speed limit.
Its really hard to say, but you should get a good days fishing the canals i would hope.

i would say easyly a full days fishing but as raef said it will depend on how you use it how much wind their is and how strong the current is running

i have a 75amp that i get a full days fishing in the salt or 1 1/2 days in the freash
i also have a 85 amp and that get me a fair bit longer

i have a 385 explorer trophy but i'm running a 55bl riptide bow mount tiller
charger i have is a 8amp/2amp trickle
i genrally put a flat batt on charge for about 6 hour on the full 8amp and then just leave it on trickle over night
or if it is still half charged i just put it on trickle overnight before i use it
