Trolling Motor Amp Draw

[Lotech Joe]

The trolling motor I'm using is a Minn Kota Endura 46 pound thrust electric. It has 5 speeds and it draws amperage at different rates for each speed. Does anyone have any idea of the amps being drawn off the battery at each of the 5 speeds? I have an email in to Minn Kota but I haven't heard from them yet.
Thanks Ahead,

Dont know about the lower settings, but general rule for the 12v is, whatever thrust is it, is the amp.

So at max speed, the draw should be about 46 amps.

That'd be easy enough to remember.

Joe,
Here is a chart someone put together for a 30amp max draw. Not specific to the 46, but might be ballpark for your motor. First column is speed setting (1-5), second column is amp draw.

This just in from MinnKota in reference to the amp draw on a 5 speed Endura.

Joe,
The amp draw at the different speeds are listed in order. 8A, 12A, 16A, 24A, and 42 amps on high.
