I am setting up a small canoe (Old Town - Pack 12 ft long, 33 lbs) for fishing on a small 10 acre lake behind my house; and want to use an electric trolling motor to move about. Can I use a small motorcycle starting battery instead of the much heavier full sized deep cycle marine battery? I know that the MC starting battery will quicky discharge, but I intend to use it to power the smallest electric motor I can find, just to move from spot-to-spot. I have a small charger, so I can recharge after each use - probably once a week.
regards,
Mark
