Trolling Motor Advice - 36V Lithium Batteries

Need some advice to either fork out the money for the more expensive batteries or go with a cheaper one.

Prices and warranties certainly range all over the place, so is it a ‘get what you pay for’ scenario or is there a clear winner, one way or the other?

Trolling motor in question would be the MinnKota Instinct Quest on a 22ft Illusion.

Thanks in advance

Barts Bay Armor Question

For those of you who use Barts, do you use the short or tall versions?

I’m looking to get some and would prefer the shorter ones, knowing they provide slightly less protection, but curious if other owners are passionate one way or the other.

Thanks!
