It is usually recommended one lb of the motor power per 50 lb of the fully loaded boat weight. Mariner- 3 (about 50 lb) plus maximal load 600 lb, thus even 15 lb is quite enough, and I use 30 lb one. I may run 6 hrs on my Seahawk- II (older model of Mariner- 3) and still have 90% capacity left on my 78 AH AGM battery. Thus you may use smaller, lighter and cheaper battery. And according to Endura Minn Kota company, the greater thrust of the electric motor doesn't make a boat faster. May still runs 8.5 km/hr at the 5th gear.
30lb trust = approx 18-30amp/ah draw; then take into account lead acid batteries are supposed to be drained to 50% capacity. But yes these boats don't gain much in speed maybe half or 1km depending on conditions.
hello there kapatid same tayo mariner 3 user kaya lang mas latest ang sayo suportahan kita sa channel mo ingat pala sa pag inflate, wag paka tigas baka magaya ka sa unit ko...nagkaroon ng leak sa mga dugtungan may required pressure sundin nalang natin habang hindi pa huli ang lahat. Napansin ko din na kapag mainit ang panahon kusang nadaragdagan ang pressure. Parang bola na nabibilad sa araw, kusang tumitigas.
Brod sa Bass Pro Shops Tsawwassen Mills, hindi ko lang alam kong may stock pa sila ng Mariner 3, ang karamihan kasi ngaun ay Mariner 4 pang apat na tao pedeng isakay.
