Hi there i fish alot and it is tough to get one battery to last about 14 hours on a trooling motor. Im into car audio, and i happened to get 5 1 farad lighting digital caps for 300 for all of them so i have a couple to spare. MY QUESTION. if i hook up the cap as i would in a car install but instead of hooking it up to the amp im going to hook it up to my trolling motor, so it would go from the battery to the cap them to the motor. with this give me a little more run time then normally. thanks alot
Ernie

Honestly it wouldn't be worth your time. Caps don't store that much juice.
