the biggest they make that runs on one 12v battery will be the 55lbs thrust motors, after that you need 2 batteries.
I used a 55lb trolling motor on 14ft and then a 15ft flatboat for many years in salt water and got sick and tired of having to only fish in the direction of the winds and tides.
I hated being pushed backwards and having to use the outboard to cross a 20 or 30 foot wide cut with just a normal regular tide coming through it.
anything over 6mph wind and I was running full time on #4 and sometimes #5 all the time unless I went with the wind so I basically used it to guide how I drifted with the wind. I learned to adjust but it wasn't ideal at all.
the ONLY reason I didn't go bigger was I had no room or money for 2 trolling motor batteries in the front storage compartment
