What Soloar Power Panel Do I Need for a 12-Volt Trolling Motor Running Between 13-54 Amps?
Question:
I viewed the GoaL Zero Nomad 5 solar Panel w the flip 12 power pack video...very KooL. Goal Zero has some sweet products. Do you make an product that would power a Trolling Motor for a canoe ? Something that would power a 55 lb thrust trolling motor for my son and Is small river fishing adventures... normally we have a 12 volt battery so something that would weigh similar...

Expert Reply:
I went ahead and called my contact at Goal Zero. He calculated that a 12volt trolling motor running at 54 amps would be a wattage of 648. For this, I recommend the Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32409. If you are in need of a power station, I recommend the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X Lithium Portable Power Station - 120 Volt # GZ64FR.
