I use it on rivers and only are particularly in heavier currents. I have recently purchased a Minn Kota 50# Trolling Motor for home built Transom for my 17′ canoe. Since I’m at the boat about once a week this presently presents no problem. I turn off the solar panels and every draw when I leave the boat. Since then I replaced the batteries with one Sears Diehard 100 amp hour battery and have only used the solar panels while I was present to monitor them. The solar panels boiled the batteries (two 6-volt Trojan golf cart batteries in series, 225 amp hours) dry. I left the boat in Chula Vista for a September 2009, not hooked up to electricity, with the refrigerator running. The system worked fine along the Pacific Coast of California and Mexico and in the Sea of Cortez (Golfo de California to Mexicans) for three years. This system had been controlled with a Xantrex C35, rated at 35 amps. The peak amperage that I have actually shown on my Link 10 is 27 amps. I have six Kyocera solar panels mounted on my sailboat, four rated at 5 amps (75 watt) and two 4 amp (60 watt).
