Minn Kota Riptide 80 lbs - Battery size / Range

[Balle]

Any idea. Have a Minn Kota 80 lbs - How Big Battery Should I go for - if I want 4 hours moderate sailing

if its a 12volt motor you will need a minimum of a 100 aph battery to run 4 hours at medium speed with no current or wind....https://www.trollingmotors.net/blogs/selection/86961351-calculating-motor-run-time

Why not buy two batteries to be on the safe side and cruise twice as far. Just a thought!
